In 2012, NO ONE needs to hunt. We have McD's for that. EVERYONE needs a firearm for their safety and to save their life!

real assault rifles are already controlled by the feds under NFA34. please do not confuse assault rifles with what congress wants to ban.

I'm guessing there aren't any Sidewinders included with Google's jet.

actually, I do know someone who bought a mig 25, minus all the guns and hardpoints.

Not all of them.
Close....but I do have some 30 round mags....and a fixed stock

The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting and target shooting.

So anyway, that brings us to assault weapons. If it is your contention that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to combat government tyranny, I'd ask you what an assault weapon is going to do for you against a smart bomb? Or an F-35? etc...

That ship has sailed. So let's talk practical useage if you want to argue for the continued legalization of assault weapons.

Keep in mind I really don't have an opinion one way or the other on assault weapons. I'm just laughing at those who think its their 2nd amendment right to own one...

really? ask the USA about that war in vietnam, how the tanks, bombs and fighters worked against the people of that country, who mainly had assault rifles.

Holder tells Congress the Obama administration wants to ban guns


In light of the language you quoted, the technical term for the title of this thread is: a lie.

As a retired cop, I wouldn't mind if assault weapons disappeared altogether.

as a civilian, i would not mind if all policemen had their retirements revoked, all police fired and only sheriffs and deputies carry out law enforcement duties.

shows you the difference that a real sheriff and what a law enforcement officer can do.

Do a little digging and i think you will find that the first Assualt weapon ban was started by Ronnie R in Ca as a way to stop the Crips and Bloods from getting heavy firepower. The law was very poorly written and created quite a mess.
