Should I buy an assault weapon?
<|assistant|>
It depends on your state and local laws as well as your own needs, but generally speaking assault weapons are not for most civilians and it is not recommended to purchase one. Assault weapons are generally more powerful than other weapons and are better suited for law enforcement or active military, as opposed to civilian uses. Additionally, due to the level of firepower assault weapons provide, they are restricted in many states and require stringent background checks.
