The ignorance of firearms, of those wanting to disarm me, is astounding!

They have no clue, one of the first fully automatic firearms was made during the revolutionary war, in 1778 by a Colonial inventor and was used exclusively by the militia.

It is obvious that too many people can't be trusted with a fast car, it is time to save lives and force restrictions on the ability of a cars speed and license those who want a car that goes faster than 85 mph. I call on the government to "do something" and pass a law limiting all cars speed limit, those that currently own one can either turn them in or pay for the alteration limiting the speed ability, and future cars be limited when being produced.
A car isn't designed to injure or maim. That's why a gun is in a different category. But you knew this already and you just wanted to peddle a false equivalency and hyperbole rather than use reason to defend your position.

What does it matter what something is DESIGNED to do? It only matters what a PERSON uses it for. There are all kinds of things used as weapons that are designed to do something else, but that doesn't make them less deadly.


When you take the responsibility of being a citizen with Natural Rights as human beings, and not a SUBJECT, then you do have some risks in which to navigate. None of these risks would cause me to give up any of my rights.

That is logical?

You would never bat an eye at my daughters Mini 14, but you will lose your lunch over my tactical stocked 5.56/223
It is the same gun, same rate of fire, just looks different.
The only difference is one has a conventional wood stock, the other a tactical stock.
Ignorance and emotions, breeds fear.
Take it up with Trump, he nominated the guy who made the comment, but you won't, because you'll slam people for certain ideas but give Trump or his people a pass.

Hypocrites

He must have a well regulated aim, to be an efficient part of the Militia.

The way I read it, is is every persons duty to stay well regulated in their marksmanship, as a member of the Militia.

I already have an AR-15, and I'm looking forward to the day I can grow marijuana in my basement for my own personal use. Here's to FREEDOM!

ridiculous to think that a gun can protect your family- may deter- may on occasion, but no guarantee my dear


If that is what you want... It is your Liberty to do so. What stops you?
If I wanted that, I would not have any problems at all obtaining my goal.

I choose to be a citizen, and not to be a subjugated serf.

One what does it matter what something is designed for? It is the intent of the user that matters. Trucks weren't made for use as terrorists weapons, yet now they are gaining popularity to be used as such.


And unless you don't believe in killing under any circumstances (which I will respect) then killing is not always bad, say in self defense. How is it when the dept of homeland security orders AR rifles they call them defensive rifles yet in the hands of a civilian they are classified as a "assault' rifle?
