I wish that this bill passed. But it didnt. But oh well.

why do big government fans want people disarmed?

answer, so they cannot resist big government.
 
I believe assault weapons should be banned because i dont believe civilians have no need for them and should only be used for the armed forces members. Its simple as that.

so you want civilian police to give up 20 round magazines? what does the second amendment protect in your view?

need has nothing to do with it

given someone like you might get into a position of power is enough to create our NEED for such weapons
 
Tell me what is the point of a civilian owning an assault rifle? Assault weapons should be banned because they serve no purpose but killing many people in little time without having to worry about reloading. No one needs an assault weapon to protect their house.

I am 100% in favor of gun ownership. I believe that every American citizen has the right to own a gun or guns, and to use weapons to protect themselves if that arises. Saying that however, I do not believe that a citizen should have the right to own military grade assault weapons.

you obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about the FIENSWINE BAN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MACHINE GUNS (assault RIFLES)

Yes i want to take all your guns TD :roll:
And even if the gov decided one day to do your draconian ****ed up society so many of you NRA guys think will happen if an assault weapon bann passes, i dont think a couple assault rifles vs tanks, war planes, choppers, and drones is gonig to do much.

you think the patriots shoot at tanks rather than the people who were passing such awful laws? or those who supported such politicians? how long is a gun banner gonna last if a million guys with deer rifles want him dead?

that's what you wanted since you supported the Feintard bill. It allows that twit to label anything an assault weapon and ban any firearm for any reason. its called precedent. If the second amendment doesn't cover a semi auto rifle, it doesn't cover anything and that is what the aging princess wanted to do.

Yes because im sure this day and age if people get pissed off at a politician passing laws that they are gonna go kill people who passed the laws.. :roll:

I'm not going to change your opinion so I won't try, but I will make this statement. I know a lot of folks with guns that were on that list and not a single one have ever killed a single person. You say those gun's are only purposed to kill lots of people, but I have never seen any of the ones I know do that.

I have always been of the mindset that if you are not comfortable around firearms then I suggest you not have one. I would rather folks just say that then to say no one should own them. I have more respect for someone who says they don't need one than those who try to take them all.

Just because someone owns one of those weapons does not mean they are randomly going to start shooting people. Its not like owning an assault weapon is a trigger message to start shooting people.

Im actually very comfortable around firearms. I own several, and have shot an "assault rifle" a couple times. I own several shotguns and one handgun.

I agree with your assertion that owning one of these guns doesn't automatically makes you start killing. Your post said they are purposed only for killing large numbers of people though. That is not the case as I know people who hunt with them, target shoot with them and train with them and never killed a single person, let alone multiples. They have many uses but mostly for recreational use.

I am glad to hear you are comfortable around them, and for that reason I would never try to keep you from owning one. Glad to hear you own several, that means you are not only defended in your home but likely enjoy the sport as well.

Wasn't aware that the NRA had so much sway over Senate Democrats.

The NRA scares the living **** out of most politicians.

That is helping to save our pro-gun bacon for now......
 
Safety of the community. Safety of the nation.

You also failed to address my question that I asked in this post.

I honestly believe that as well.... the problem is over half of the firearms named on the bill were not assault weapons. They were just thrown in there for good measure. Is that just ok?

Than what is the point of you owning a bushwhacker here in the states? What is the point of you owning a taser if they can severly injure or possibly kill someone if used improperly? Besides as the left always says, it is unlikely for anyway to get mugged or robbed in their own home? And dont you think that someone could just RELOAD A WEAPON when it goes empty? Which only takes a couple of seconds by the way, thus making a slaughter stall only by a couple of seconds.

And you almighty wise one who knows so much about weapons just like Dianne Feinstein does, define a military grade assault weapon
