So how many of you fucks, pimpin the NRA, actually own a fully automatic assault weapon with high capacity magazines.

I doubt any one of you do. But please do carry on.

Why would I get a full auto? You set yourself up for yearly inspections with the ATF by owning a full auto. The less the government knows about me or what I own the better.

Tactical, assault style, etc let's be honest, they just want to ban black weapons because they're scary looking.

Such amazing amounts of inadvertent profiling and racism.

And they're right. There is literally no point in civilians having high capacity magazines. They serve no purpose

We should be able to own any gun we want to. Full auto. Infrared. High capacity. Fuck off.

I you want a handgun to protect yourself fine, I'm a believer in the constitution and respect the 2nd amendment. When was the last time a high capacity magazine was used in any way other than to commit mass murder? (excluding shooting contests, at ranges, etc.)

You forgot to say something about protecting the children as to why we constantly need less rights.

The only thing that stops a dictator from seizing power in this country, or some asshole official/cop from going way too far, is the the 2nd Amendment. I'll take thousands of dead every year in gang and domestic violence, over millions to billions dead in inevitable purges, because the balance in power between citizens/military is annihilated.

Does that really seem likely? This is still a relatively stable country.

Seems unlikely now, but in 50-100 years I wouldn't rule it out

Just like the ban on fully automatic weapons in 1934? Or what about the Brady bill in 1994 that was rolled back in 2004? All slippery slopes to gun confiscation.

Or how about the confiscation of 600k assault rifles in Australia in 1996?

Oh wait.

What do you have against matte black guns?

Yeah because rednecks with no formal training are a huge threat to the strongest military on the planet.

Yeah, just like a bunch of rice paddy farmers in Viet Nam weren't a huge threat to the French (ROFL) or the strongest military on the planet. Just like a bunch of Shia and Sunni fucks weren't a threat to the strongest military on the planet.

Everyone who fucking says this acts like no insurgency anywhere has ever succeeded. Fucking Castro left Mexico with 150 or dudes, got caught in a storm and something like 20 or less made it to Cuba without drowning or getting captured.

I think you might be surprised at how many members of the military would flatly refuse to do active battle with US citizens. The military respects the constitution and citizens more than the jack booted thugs in police ninja suits do.

Agree with the 1st half. Disagree with the 2nd. Many of the jack booted thugs in ninja suits spent time in the military and part of the communities they serve. I don't necessarily see them taking up arms against the citizenry.

I don't have your faith. Now, small town cops and stuff, sure, agree. But big city police forces and federal agents? Um, yeah. Hi Ruby Ridge. Hi Waco. Hi three hundred other out of control police issues. I like cops for the most part. Where I live they are well integrated into the community and do a lot of good. But big city cops and federals are a whole different ballgame. The jack booted thug variety of ballgame and trusting them is not part of my game plan.
