Domestic and foreign threats? Overkill for the first one, and absurd for the second.
BTW: the StG 44. is the Sturmgewehr, that translates to "storm" not lightning.

Seriously. I mean, the things we actually
need are those things which help us to sustain life. Other than food, shelter and water... there's really not much more that we
need than what a cat or dog needs.
Spork, it just makes me REALLY nervous when a government starts thinking that it can or should start restricting things which cannot be shown to be
needed. My Glock holds 17 rounds and is equipped with a laser sight and a ported barrel. My SKS holds only 10 rounds and has a slower cycle rate than the Glock. Which one is the
assault weapon? The ammo I use in the SKS would go right through you. The ammo I use in my Glock would open a person up like a split melon. So which one is the
assault weapon? My Weatherby 300 is more accurate than the sniper rifles the military uses (the Remingtons anyway). But my Weatherby is a "hunting rifle". Why is that? Do I need a "hunting rifle" that could open up a chest cavity at 700 yards repeatably? I don't even hunt anymore. Do I need that? Nope. Am I going to keep it til the day I die? Yep. Why? That's just the way I am. I think that desire is located in the same area of my brain that pushes me toward curvy brunettes, but I'm not sure.
As for the StG 44... such a sweet weapon! I've never fired a Sturmgewehr 44 or a Schmeisser/MP43. I wish I had the spare change to buy either... or both.
