It’s in quotes because the left often asks this.\u00a0 “Assault weapon” is in embedded quotes because it’s a false term they use.\u00a0 But putting that aside, what’s the premise behind the question and what is its source?\u00a0 The left is attempting to establish entitlement to ownership based on need and make the owner justify his ownership.\u00a0 In this case it’s a firearm they hate, but it can be extended to anything once the premise is established as a legitimate one.\u00a0 It’s not legitimate in this country, or morally legitimate anywhere.<\/p>\n
The source is Marxism, to each according to his needs.\u00a0 Most of what people own isn’t really needed, including the conspicuous consumption of the left.\u00a0 Algore’s private jets, the Obama’s Hawaiian vacations, with Michelle riding on a separate jet.\u00a0 You can buy a lot of guns with what that costs–if you can find any–even at current prices.\u00a0 Jets and vacations aren’t needed, so using the left’s reasoning, they shouldn’t have them.\u00a0 It doesn’t work that way because they’re the privileged class, of course.<\/p>\n
