first of all,you can't get an "Assault-Rifle"! They are entirely military Critters! None of the semi-automatic Rifles on the Civilian Market even remotely qualify as a Military Rifle!
If men want to oppose war, it is statism that they must oppose. So long as they hold the tribal notion that the individual is sacrificial fodder for the collective, that some men have the right to rule others by force, and that some (any) alleged “good” can justify it—there can be no peace within a nation and no peace among nations.
"For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter." Address to the Officers of the Army | Saturday, March 15, 1783
Editorial Notes
Known today as the Newburg Address, Washington gave an emotional speech to his officers on March 15, 1783. Responding to an anonymous petition which encouraged officers to protest if Congress did not provide the promised pay and pensions, Washington told his troops that the petition had some valid points, that he supported his officers, but the author’s proposed solution of mutiny was not the answer. Washington supported the freedom to express their opinions, and used this very petition to remind his troops what they were fighting for – their freedom.

a step which Russia would promptly Veto in the Security-Council! Since the UN has no Armed Forces of their own,they would have to rely on the Forces of their Memberstates! Not sure any of them would want to burn their fingers on a Nofly-Zone!
RE: Nuetral Finland and Sweden becoming members of Nato is Europe continuing to poke the Bear more.
and that goes for the Baltics as well!
