I was thinking the same thing! An assault weapon with a high capacity magazine is a very expensive purchase unless you join the Army...they will let you use one of theirs in far a way lands.RottenApple wrote:Well, assault rifles are extremely expensive to buy. I mean, you'd have to set up an NFA trust, go through ATF approval, pay the tax stamp, and then there's the cost of the rile itself which can be as little as $1300 for a cheap, poor condition M16 or as much as $20,000 for a relatively perfect condition assault rifle.
Frankly, I'd thnk an AR-15 would be significantly cheaper.
Now if you want to ask why one should have a modern sporting rifle with a standard capacity magazine that is a whole other response.
