I'm sure this will sound nuts too, but back when the second amendment was written, people owned artillery and warships. Do I completely agree with what he says about owning stingers and rockets? Not really. That's a completely different league from full auto weaponry. But he does have a point. If we were to allow every sort of weapon to be bought, that would probably be the best way to go about it.

RESTART TIME (now with 25% more letters)! Plank

My bad, I didn't really mean to generalize with that post. What I meant was more of that whole media image of a man spraying from the hip with an M16 or AK variant and hitting everything with absolute precision. Y'know, the way they go on and on about "Oh, but this weapon can shoot 1000 rounds per minute!!!!" as if every single round is a laser guided missile that will hit the brain of each and every intended target. Not to say that those weapons aren't accurate.

That's more a "stupid" problem than it is an availability problem. That could be fixed with training, however I do see why people are apprehensive about giving the government the ability to mandate training or other stipulations to exercise a constitutional right (though they already do this in many areas of the country). I see your point though. I'd say add firearms safety and programs like Eddie Eagle to school curriculums, but of course you'd have the soccer moms and the uninformed yelling out that they don't want their kids to become mass murderers (because everyone who learns to shoot is a mass murderer, like all those police officers who we expect to save us when the bad guys with guns show up ).

People think the high volume of fire is a massive laser wall of death that will kill anything in front of it. Not true at all. Fully automatic fire is highly erratic (especially when "spray firing from the hip" as many journalists would have you believe they are solely made for). That said, I believe the hughes amendment should be repealed and that full auto weaponry should be regulated no more than regular weaponry is.

I can't. I just can't read anymore of this. I think I'm going to take a month off from the internet. If I read one more article like that, I'm probably going to melt a hole in my monitor just from the anger alone.

Goddamn, that AR he used must've been chambered in 140mm. Where the hell do I get one?

It's just a photoshop, right guys? ...Guys?

Before I finish this post, let it be known that I have the utmost respect for veterans and the blood they have given for this country, but this man fought against an enemy that was equipped with little more than automatic rifles and homemade explosives, an enemy that still has not been summarily defeated, an enemy that was fought against using drones, missiles, tanks, and all sorts of amazingly expensive weaponry, an enemy that is a FRACTION of the size of our armed populace, and he says that an armed insurrection wouldn't work? When the military invents a weapon that can instantly melt the brain of anyone it deems to be an enemy combatant from space is the day that I declare the second amendment as a lost cause.

Ha, I was actually thinking that maybe now there'll be enough for the rest of us.

Haven't been there in like a year! Probably my favorite local place besides Libby's Lunch.

Oh man, there's a baja fresh over by where a friend of mine lived. We all drove down there to get some food, but my stomach wasn't in the best shape so I skipped out. I immediately regretted that decision, stomach be damned. Hell, I might go get some now...

My S&W 10-7. It's not the flashiest or biggest I have, but it used to belong to my grandfather, and there's just something about it that feels "right."
