which is why we should not pretend that hunting is the purpose of these weapons.  You're wrong (IMHO, of course!) to say there is no practical need for them.  We need to be defending that practical need, not ignoring it, and not pretending it isn't there.
But Tom, the liberals start screeching "Militias!" if you start down that path,  They have already got the media propaganda machine revved up to spotlight any hint of "anti government" attitudes among firearms owners.

If you drift away from politically correct approved "hunting and sporting use", what will you discuss with the leftists to explain why you have the firearm you do, set up as you do?

I admit to being a bit to the right of Attila, and not having any sense of nuance for this sort of thing, so please carry on.

OP has a good point, but I have not the patience to go down that rabbit hole. Instead when asked what I need that style weapon for, my canned answer is "none of your business". Then if pushed persue the discussion from a more philosophical rights perspective.
