So if a few dozen more get shot by a madman because he was able to buy a weapon with that capability it's OK because you want a "proper solution" to some supposed problem?
Is that what you would tell the family members of the deceased? That the murderer had a 100 shot magazine because you think you might need it someday and that's why they have the right to sell it to a maniac killer?
The Aurora shooter wanted bombs too but couldn't get them, can you imagine if grenades were also something you felt were a "proper solution"? How many people must die to satisfy your ego?

I realize the loony left despises rights that tend to be exercised more by conservatives or libertarians.

But you are clueless on this issue because you assume a ban will stop those intent on committing murder from getting those arms.

come back when you actually have some argument based on reality

someone asked a question.

i answered it. only cops & military can possess and use flashbangs.

than answers his question, and proves your assertion to be false.

I guess you haven't figured out my argument because I am noting that some cities issue guns they don't allow civilians to own and that is wrong

so you yapping about flash bangs is stupid because my argument already assumes some idiots think cops should have firearms other civilians should not have

no, its not stupid.

someone asked what weapons cops can use that civilians can't. flashbangs is one example.
 
OK you have proven you are going to not answer the question but spam flash bangs over and over

why should one group of civilians not be able to own common pistols that civilian cops are issued

flashbangs don't meet the heller test

Glocks do

chew on that for a minute


and assault rifles meet the heller test

flash bangs don't


flash bangs are not arms but rather ordnance as well

How is banning assault weapons a unreasonable limit on the second amendment.

RPG are banned. As are tanks.

Why do you need an assault rifle? You don't.

I don't know about RPGs, but I know for a fact tanks are not illegal. Furthermore, tanks are not "arms" which is what the second amendment covers. Finally, looking at present laws and arguing that they are a reasonable standard is not reasonable. If this were the case, we would not abolish slavery (or may even justify expanding it) simply because such law was already the case.

cops aren't civilians.

that's why they get to possess guns that we can't.

you again engage in diversion

why does the useful purpose change when the laws controlling the defense use of weapons are the same for civilian LEOs and non LEO civilians
 
Thunder said:
plus the fact that while civilians run from trouble, cops are required to run towards it.

If someone breaks into your home in most states and shoots at you and then you avoid him and sneak up behind him do you have a duty to warn him or challenge him or can you shoot him in the back?

how about a cop

tell me Thunder

1) how many times have you been in a gun fight or a knife fight and took out a criminal?

2) how many cases of civilian LEO or non LEO civilian self defense shootings have you ever tried?
 
Cops are ordered to run towards danger.

Civilians are ordered to run AWAY from danger.

that's why they get the cooler guns. Case closed.

that is again a moronic claim--danger sometimes surprises people

what if I cannot run, why should I not be able to have the same gun that my tax dollars go to pay for for cops

do you realize how moronic your arguments are

DO you understand under HELLER and McDOnald those weapons are protected by the constitution

and why are you so dishonest you cannot actually address the question

No wonder other posters tend to not even engage your posts

The Aurora shooter wanted bombs but couldn't buy them so he didn't have any. That is proof that restricting legal sales prevented him from killing more people. The same thing is true of the weapons he did buy. The AR-15 with a 100 shot mag enabled him to kill more people, like the bombs he wanted but couldn't get because they are not legally sold.
You are the one with a distorted view of reality.

Wrong. Nobody orders anyone to do anything. Who gives these "orders?"

You're a trip, man. You dig yourself into a hole, and then hire an excavator to dig you even deeper.
