I don't have any anti-gun "friends" --not interested in having "friends" that don't want me to be able to defend myself-- but if I did, I can't even imagine voluntarily associating with someone so morally depraved that they would simply refuse to defend themselves and their loved ones against predators. While these kinds of people undoubtedly consider themselves morally superior to us gun nuts, the fact is that an unwillingness to confront evil isn't moral enlightenment, it's a disgusting abdication of moral and personal responsibility, and makes them willing a tool of evil.

As prices have skyrocketed on assault rifles, it seems a steep purchase. Why would I need an assault rifle, besides being angry my right to purchase one may be taken away.?

I reside in a Houston subburb. I do think riots will happen when the economy collapes; so do I need one when an entire Section 8 Housing Project invades my home or is that extreeme paranoia ?. I am answering my own question, maybe.

I believe the Judge is already banned in California, maybe some other places, as a revolving shotgun. What's a defensive shotgun? Sounds like an "assault" shotgun to me. In Colorado the proposed bill, unless amended, would ban just about all pump and semi-auto shotguns. And who knows what will happen with semi-auto handguns. But I think the whole point is that free people determine their own needs, not the government, so if you don't think you need one, and don't just plain want one, then you don't.
