Let's Talk About Gun Control

[daze23]

Like most people, you are VERY misinformed about guns. This is the problem with all the liberals asking to ban certain guns. One clip in an AR would not kill 50-100 people. Not even close. Learn your guns before you fight against them.

who said anything about "one clip"?

I think OP nailed it in the in his post: having guns today WONT protect US citizens against the military IF the govt decides to turn on its own population. First of all I have no idea WHY the US govt would even consider doing that (When has it?). Second, if it did, ain't nothing your rifle will do against tanks, planes and drones. So using that as a reason to having guns makes no sense.

You are so very wrong. How do you think the Egyptians and other Middle Eastern countries got out from dictatorship? They had ASSAULT rifles that rivaled the governments. Just because the current climate in the US is peaceful and the "government is working for us" does NOT mean this will always be the case. The government should ALWAYS be afraid of the people. Thats why the constitution was written the way it was. Do some research about my country before you judge it. King George of England learned the hard way that people will rise up against tyranny. The founders of this country WANTED the citizens to have guns in order to protect CIVIL liberties. This was a foolproof way to protect CITIZENS against any and all governments.

Tanks are great for wide open combat. What about an army going into apartment buildings or small areas that a tank cant reach? Seems to me that assault rifles would be the ideal weapon then... Big machines only go so far. At the bare minimum it comes down to guns and assault rifles are an equilizer.

Who said that if more people were armed that this a$$hole wouldn't have got shot down when changing clips?

Why should these be banned? The 2nd amendment was written to protect the citizens against the government. If the government has fully automatic AK's and AR's, the citizens should as well. Its a means to protect from tyranny. Ask King George.

well the gub'ment also has tanks, bombers, artillery, and various 'very big guns'. should citizens be able to own those as well?

Yes. They should. 99.9% of citizens can't afford these things so its irrelevant. The 1% that can afford these things has too much to lose to use these things.

If you have the funds to buy tanks and bombers than you clearly have a head on your shoulders and the chance of you being a psycho is slim to none.

none of that changes the fact that dude said nothing about "one clip". you created that strawman

Quit reaching. An AR-15 would not kill 50-100 people.

I can change the clip on my handgun 7 times and kill 50-100 people as well. Just because its faster on an automatic rifle doesnt mean the damage is any less with a handgun.

if it can kill one person, it can kill 50-100

 

[ill]

if it can kill one person, it can kill 50-100

If I can stab one person, than I can stab 50-100?

I think the insane with money will to whatever they want regardless of the laws. They have the money to produce their own weapons if need be.

The people with money tend to be sane because they have something to lose. Most mass murderers have nothing to lose.

yes

Guns dont kill people. People do. Its REALLY that simple.

Guns do kill people. Their primary function is to kill things.......
