Yes, we need them. We need every rifle that is legal now, and we should add some more. No firearm that is legal now should be taken away from law abiding citizens. Take semi rifles away, then they will want to take semi shotguns, and semi pistols, and where will it end?I hope they back the hell off of our right to own all of the firearms we have.I know there are a lot of good Americans out there, that will do the right thing, if they ever try to disarm us.I hope that day never comes.
