No. You don't. As I stated already, the problem with a high caliber gun is that the bullet often continues traveling after it has gone through it's initial target, and some of them can continue on quite far, including through multiple walls.
And I'll tell you what.
In 10 seconds, firing my gun at a target 50 yards away, I can cluster all my bullets within 4" of each other easily. If you can do the same with an automatic weapon of similar size, I will withdraw my objections.
I can protect my family. I can do so with confidence and the knowledge that if I fire my weapon, it won't go through the wall of my house, through the wall of my neighbor's house, and kill their 6 year old kid. I can do so with the confidence that I don't need to fire 10+ bullets a second to hit my target, I can do it with one.
Automatic and high caliber weapons are not for defense. Period.
Who thinks they are protecting anyone with an assault rifle? As I stated before, mine is for hunting purposes only, on acreage that no one else hunts mind you or I would never even fire it there. Home defense is my shotgun. Snake killing is my pistol. Most people know these things if they own guns. That's part of the safety of owning guns is to know the job each is intended for. You can't butcher a chicken with a chainsaw..duh!! Know what I mean?
