I must say again this is a very disappointing vote total. Only one yes vote to ban, and that was me. We as a country are going straight down the drain when only one person cares, and sixty don't care.

And I must say again that it is very amazing that you are the only one right while the rest of the world is wrong.

Again.

And again.

You should be gracious that you got 1 "Yes, but only" vote to keep you company.

Some people care about their rights, others prefer to have others rights stripped away.

A thoughtful person might see this result and wonder if they should reconsider their position.

When we were trained to shoot the M-1 Carbine in the Army, although it is a semi-automatic weapon, a small, but prohibited device could be inserted that would make them fully automatic. Or a part of the firing mechanism could be filed-down, to allow full auto operation. It was amusing, the way our training sergeants informed us of the exact nature of this device, but then told us how we never, ever would want to obtain and use one.

It requires several parts, not just a "prohibited device." And the parts aren't generally prohibited, just tightly controlled.

There is no part of an M-1 Carbine that can be "filed down" that will allow for full auto fire.

Now 61.funny how the 93 % who didn’t see it you way are described are people who don’t care. It seems 93% did care after all.

No person of average intelligence can hold the ridiculous points of view that you appear to.
How long do you plan on continuing this obvious troll account? This cannot be a fulfilling life choice.
