I personally own several so-called assault rifles (a semi-auto is. NOT an assault rifle).
I use mine for target practice (with my children even - are they now evil?).
I have also enjoyed wild hog taken with a "so called" assault rifle.
The round that 95% of these "assault" rifles are chambered in (5.56/.223) is a relatively week rifle round and does make for a good home defense round due to it's likelihood to fragment or tumble, because that results in less penetration than most rounds.
So, Mr. "Veteran", before you speak out in a manner inconsistent with the oath you took to defend the Constitution, get your information correct. And yes, I know the oath well. I took it as part of my service to this country.
