Quote:I'm not sure about Florida, but in Virginia I don't believe any sort of license is required to purchase an assault weapon.  All I believe is required is proof of citizenship.  I can't speak for the state of Florida, but from a quick search there doesn't appear to be any requirements for assault weapons. 

 

First of all "Assault Weapon" is a made up term, what you're referring to is the popular AR style rifle. The Civilian version of the AR rifle you'll find at every gun exchange, gun store ect.... is a semi-automatic rifle meaning one trigger pull one round. There's all kinds of attachments you can use on the AR platform but to call it an Assault weapon is a joke, my 30/30 is more deadly then most AR's. 

 

There is no legislation against the AR rifle, so long as it's the civilian version which is strictly semi-automatic. Now the military grade rifle (looks the same as the civilian AR to the novice eye's) is a fully automatic rifle, those you have to have a Federal License for, called the FFL3. It's very expensive to get, very expensive to hold onto, on top of those rifles being very expensive to buy, and you agree to essentially an open door policy with the Feds. When you hole an FFL3 license the Feds can show up with little to zero notice and say we're here to inspect your guns and you have to comply.

Just kidding  :teehee:

 

Seriously though what kind of self defense scenario involves armor piercing rounds being loaded and ready to use at a moments notice? Obviously an extremely rare one presumably involving zombie I hope?

 

I believe in a population just as well armed if not better armed than it's government. I do my part to work towards that goal in whatever capacity I can. 

 

I own armor piercing rounds because there's all kinds of people with armor out there, and God forbid if in the situation I needed to I'd be willing and able to defend my home to the best of my ability. 

 

Self defense simply means anyone who has no business being on my property and has the intention of harming my family. They come in all shapes and sizes.
