I've seen people turned into hamburger at close range.
You don't anything about what you're talking about. First off, those guns are no different than any other semi-auto firearm, except in how they look. Any idiot could weld together smaller mags, do a little cutting, etc., to make a larger cap one if the standard mags are banned. Finally, the average deer rifle is more powerful than most of those "assault weapons" you're so scared of.

I have hundreds of magazines for my firearms, I dont plan on giving any of my firearms no matter if a law is passed or not.

if needed, I will move to a firearm friendly state vs giving up my firearms.

The Federalist papers are not law. They are a collection of essays promoting aspects of the Constitution.

ESSAYS, containing OPINIONS, not law.

As a life-long hunter and a US army vet, I don't feel compelled to brag about my weapons knowledge in an attempt to impress similarly weak-minded braggarts...

So yeah, insecure people whose entire exposure to weapons likely equals a subscription to The American Rifleman and Guns and Ammo use the internet to spin fantastic tales. Not surprising, really.

And frequently quoted and used by the SCOTUS, but don't let that fact interfere with your opinion...

So now it's "bragging" when we correct lies being spouted by people who want to strip the people of civil rights?

Either way, the 2nd Amendment didn't mean for "target practice" or for "sporting purposes". You can kill a cow with a hammer. It WAS intending to keep us from going the way of who we were fighting in the 1770's. BE AFFRAID OF YOUR PEOPLE. WE KEEP YOU INLINE.

Th SCOTUS frequently cites opinion in it's decisions. It doesn't make the Federalist papers LAW.

Does the truth hurt SO much?
