You don't "NEED" military style weapons. But when a government goes tyrannical that has the weapons that they told us we don't "NEED" as civilians you can bet yourass you will "NEED" them then. Like others have said it's a slippery slope when the government decides what you can and can't have to defend yourself against all enemies foreign and domestic.
The government would just shoot you from a drone, or drop a bomb on your house. No way a citizen can defend themselves from the government, unless the military is in the civilians side
Ask the British how that thought process worked out for them.
Not a citizen, but a majority of the citizenry armed and the government would stand no chance.
Not to mention you can bet your arse that quite a few members of the military would join our side in order to resist tyranny, if any of the douche bags in DC ever stupidly decide to go balls out and see how a dictatorship might work out for them. It ain't gonna be pretty and the asshats in DC know it. And that is why they want to take away our abilities to defend ourselves, one piece at a time including high capacity mags. Every time our side wins out in these stupid, unconstitutional chitshows, freedom and liberty (though a perverted version of it relative to what our forefathers risked all for) live to see another day.
