Simple yes or no answer.
yes but no. I don't think that military grade weapons should be allowed to be bought. I don't think college students should be allowed to buy guns. I think that there should be further screening before purchase. There are too many murders daily to allow weapons such as Uzis and Ak's to be bought and sold (legally or illegally). At the same time, if you like to hunt I see no problem with buying a rifle.Simple yes or no answer.

I really have to stop leaving such large loopholes when I post... Obviously it's okay if they are in the military. And yes you should be able to own your grandfather's colt. I don't think you should be able to buy an AK or a Barrett to shoot for fun.so I shouldn't be able to own the 7 shot colt 1911 45 my late grandfather willed to me since it was issued to him as an officer of the AEA in WWI but I can own the 13 shot GLOCK 45 since it is not military issue.
what sort of libertarian is against people owning weapons? Lots of college students are older than my nephew when he was first deployed as a ranger in command of guys who had stuff that could level a city block in 5 seconds

Would it bother you if you had to store them at the range that you shot them at? Maybe it's because I personally don't own guns, but I don't see the point in owning anything other than for hunting or maybe protection.why not? I have a dozen AKs-mostly SAIGA (Russian) built but none with the giggle switch. what makes a semi auto Barrett so bad at 4 dollars a shot and the fact that most ranges cannot accommodate them. A Barrett for most people is like buying a Ferarri when you can only drive 70MPH
and shooting them is for fun.

yeah, criminals won't why should I.Would it bother you if you had to store them at the range that you shot them at? Maybe it's because I personally don't own guns, but I don't see the point in owning anything other than for hunting or maybe protection.
Home securityProtection from what? Protection from the government may require some additional arms.

or from control freaks who want to impose idiotic restrictions on the rest of us
I have noted many times that if the government starts jailing and killing people for merely refusing to surrender once lawfully purchased or acquired arms, the FIRST people patriots should start killing are those who pushed for such laws-rather than the cops forced to engage in such fascism

perhaps you should focus first on more peaceful & democratic ways of solving problems??
its just a thought.
One original intent of the Second Amendment was so the populace could defend itself against the government if necessary....
Perhaps, but the cops are one of the militant arms of the government to use against the People. They make a choice to enforce those rules and cannot be considered separately from the government itself.
and yet, the 2nd refers to the well-regulated Militia, which according to Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, has as one of its purposes...to assist in the putting down of insurrections.
interesting huh?
One original intent of the Second Amendment was so the populace could defend itself against the government if necessary. Back then, the musket was the weapon of choice for the military.
Can you imagine the result of a band of citizens armed with handguns and hunting rifles against the US military?
Times change.
