Mostly because I am against paying the government for something I should be able to own anyway plus I'm defiant.

SPEZ: Funny story about why I bought my first "assault rifle" because Billy Clinton said I couldn't have one. Being in the military more than half my life I didn't find it necessary to buy my own. Turns out the AK 47 I bought at a gun show for $300 and I never fired was a very sought after Russian 1950's era one I sold for $2k. Thanks Billy!
