#2 If you fall into these categories, you should probably own -

10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Nuff said.

#5 #1 that's the reason my wife gave some years ago ("Because THEY don't want me to") when all her liberal friends and relatives asked her why in the world she would want a gun. (So sad they got lost in the flood...)

#7 With this many ARs out there the government fears the people, the way the constitution says it should be. Everyone should own one, and a few thousand rounds.....
