The Law Abiding Citizen?

The only thing wrong is that you haven't a clue what the 15th amendment means.

Oh I k now exactly what it means, and I've shown you three times. You just keep lyin about what it is.
 
TurtleDude said:
Well if your argument is that the AR 15 needs to be banned due to a few cases where the most widely owned centerfire rifle in US history was used by criminals-if you are honest and consistent, then you must want to ban every other firearm that has been used in massacres like Sig and Glock pistols. But you know that you cannot ban a name brand without banning all the other firearms that work exactly the same. Pretty soon your gun banning dreams apply to most firearms

That is a "Sky is Falling" slippery slope fallacy: you have zero to base that on.

You clearly do not and you constantly prove you haven't any understanding about the constitution. Two different articles stated that there is no constitutional right to vote, and you have completely failed to mount an argument to the contrary. You constantly lie about gun issues and when called on them, you run and hide. For example, you have been asked-by at least 6 different posters-why your constant dishonest assertions about AR 15s being "designed for heavy combat" or "for warfare" has ANY relevance to what firearms are protected under the second amendment. You have run and hidden from questions concerning one of-if not the-most widely distributed military rifle in US history-the MI Carbine and why it is not a "weapon of warfare" or "designed for heavy combat".

Only because gun banners try to define a slippery slope only when one has hit rock bottom, and not before then.

Tell that to gun owners in California who once owned now banned guns. And now they have to buy their ammunition only from a gun store.

Gun control; death by a thousand cuts. It's also called a slippery slope.

The idiocy with the bullet button BS for magazine releases alone shows the sort of sewage that the Democrats in that state have spewed. Pretending that those who push laws designed to harass honest gun ownership, are going to stop where they are now is pure insanity. And we know that even if crime ceases (which is about as likely as disease going away) the gun restrictionists will keep pushing for more restrictions. The Hughes Amendment proves-beyond any doubt, that even when a gun type is no longer used in crime, Democrats will try to ban it.

Years ago, after the John Kennedy assassination, the NRA leadership agreed to end the mail order sales of guns, since Oswald got his rifle by mail..Then they went along with several other proposals, every time being assured by liberal lawmakers and lobbyists that they only wanted this one more restriction. Finally, the rank and file NRA membership got fed up. They tossed out the old boys and elected hardliners across the board. They drew a line in the sand; they had to. That's why the NRA defends our Second Amendment rights so rigidly; NO MORE COMPROMISES. I'm a 40 year Life member and I just don't see how they can play it any other way.

Said banned guns should be banned. Gun stores have always sold ammunition: where'd people go before the internets, pet stores?

Just like the "law abiding citizen" in the OP with his ridiculous question and accusations you have zero to base your slippery slope on. What'd you use before your AR15?

Why should bullet button guns be banned? I thought this stupid modification solved all the things that gun banners complained about. Lots of people buy ammo by "mail". I get at least 20,000 rounds a year of 22 or 9mm that way-when companies like MIDWAY USA or PSA has a sale where they throw in shipping and I don't pay tax.

Thanks, you make my point. You're part of that slippery slope. Another opinionated gun grabber who knows squat about guns or gun owners.

Just like everything else, ammo could be bought from catalogs, companies by mail, discount mail order, not just gun stores. The internet just made it easier; digital, not paper. Your lack of knowledge on this subject is obvious.

When the best argument he comes up with is "banned guns should be banned" you know that the intellectual bankruptcy of the argument is well established.

Yep, requiring one to present a valid, state issued, photo ID to exercise the right to vote is an undue discriminatory burden, placing a disproportionate hurdle before the poor and minorities, with a clear and obvious intent to disenfranchise them, yet that same ID requirement to buy guns/ammo somehow becomes a "reasonable restriction".

You must also register to vote....but registering guns brings cries of tyranny

M-1 carbines that shot 12 gauge slugs of course. I have seen the very 'rare' ones that fire 10 ga. slugs.

One does not register personal property in order to vote. How about we consider being registered to vote to serve as being a registered gun owner?

So even if one does not owns gun they are registered gun owners?

Crazy logic

The statement was rhetorical. Mail order took a lot longer, so most went to gun stores. There is no such thing as a "gun grabber", that is a silly label used by paranoid people who think there's a boogeyman under their beds. Your law abiding citizen in the OP video made jerks of all of you, that's why I posted it.

And that has what to do with the OP and the fact that the "Law abiding citizen" made you all look dopey with his paranoid assertions. Quick release works well in massacres btw.

I must have missed the part where he said he was out to take your guns, was it edited out? Turtle be truthful with yourself, it's the folks on the right who perpetuate that particular lie. As usual any idea like a background check for instance is taken as they're coming for our guns. Never give an inch, right?
