Title: why should a law abiding citizen not be allowed to own an "assault rifle"...
Post by: tonymctones on May 01, 2013, 06:20:39 PM
why should a law abiding citizen not be allowed to own an "assault rifle" and a "high capacity" magazine?

serious question for those in favor of "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazine ban

There's not exactly a hoard here beating the drum daily for gun control.  I think the majority here are pro gun/pro 2nd. There's maybe 3 or 4 and some of those clearly are not interested in answering so much as baiting, like blacken.

Pro Gun Control advocates will eventually win...some states are adding ever more restrictions to the type and kind of firearms and magazine you can own. Smart gun control advocates attack the problem akin to the way they attacked cigarettes and Big Tobacco.......by it being a health issue. 

Meanwhile, Pro-Gun advocates just scream and chant "get your hands off my guns." They do not advocate for change but take a hard line on an old way of thinking.  Less and less percentage of Americans are nowadays owning guns and violent crime rates are falling (not having to do with another).

I am pro-gun....i own five firearms. Ive used one for work for many years and love going to the range.  But...we are going to ultimately lose this debate.  More gun control legislation will pass and will lead to outright bans.  We cannot affect eventual change.

Because they could be converted to airsoft rifles.

he even put it in quotation marks but then he also put high capacity magazine in quotation marks and we know they exist.

Because if one of those "law Abiding" citizens mentally snap and decide to go on a killing spree they can do far more damage with an assault rifle and high capacity mags, then a bolt action rifle or 6 round revolver.

How is an AR15 equivalent to a grenade or a tank?  It shoots a very small bullet one at a time.  It is not a machine gun.  Maybe the feds should have machine guns, grenades and tanks but citizens should go back to using a bow and arrow.

The issue here should be what makes someone decide to kill a bunch of people.  The tool that they choose to use should be irrelevant.  Bombs are outlawed but yet a couple of nuts used them in Boston and killed people.  If it isn't this weapon it will be that weapon.  You shouldn't penalize the overwhelming majority of sane, responsible people because there are some nuts out there.

We are talking about people that are equipped to do other people harm.  As a man with a dick, you are equipped to rape women.  A lot more rapes happen every year then mass AR15 shootings.   Should we start castrating all men?  After all, they could snap and start raping women.  If men didn't have cocks we could virtually eliminate rape. 

The government can not protect you from all potential harm.  A better choice would be to learn how to protect yourself.

This is a big part of the whole argument.  The normal law abiding citizen will not have access to weapons that can cause major harm easily therefore there won't be higher death rates when he goes cockoo.

I don't fully agree with this and am not a proponent for outlawing assault weapons, however, i do think automatic weapons should still be outlawed.  The dick comparison falls flat because  we are born with them and they are a part of our bodies.  So its not really much of an argument.  Next, you can't always prevent people from snapping nor predict when they will.  Which means thank goodness they don't have nukes, machines guns grenades and maybe "assault weapons" which is the real debate here.  The fact that many people have guns is a deterrent IMO from many other crimes.

I agree 100%

I just don't understand why liberty is becoming unimportant to a huge segment of the population.  They have all this misplaced faith in the government to solve all of our problems.  First of all that's not possible, but even if it was possible it's not smart. 

The debate that people should be having right now should be about the role of government.  What are they really there to do?  How much control over our every day lives should they have?  How much of our money do they need?  Why are they preoccupied with gun control, abortion and immigration reform while we are facing vastly more important issues?

That's a big "if' and a very small chance of happening.  You have a higher chance of drowning in your bathtub than getting gun downed by a high capacity rifle.

Pull the black-on-black violence out of the equation (95% of blacks are murdered by other blacks) and the murder rate drops even more significantly.

Alleged Intruder Attacks Elderly Woman With a Club
— Her Husband Responds With a Revolver

By Erica Ritz | The Blaze – Sun, Apr 28, 2013

Armen's Music Store

Police say a Pennsylvania business owner fatally shot an intruder after the man attacked the business owner's wife with a club.

Sylvia and Alfred Armen were working in the music store they own, CBS Pittsburgh/KDKA reports, when the suspect came in and looked at some of the merchandise.  He reportedly left for a few minutes, then came back with a wooden club.

Without delay, he allegedly struck Sylvia in the head, before "Mr. Armen came to her rescue," Bethel Park Police Chief John Mackey said.

The Armens are both in their seventies.

Alfred reportedly engaged in a physical struggle with the assailant before fatally shooting him with a revolver.

Authorities aren't saying whether the couple knew the suspect, but he is described as a white male in his early thirties.

Sylvia and Alfred were both hospitalized for their injuries, but are expected to be alright.

"I think they're in pretty decent shape considering what occurred here today," Mackey described.

Police have not released a motive for the suspect.

I suppose the gun grabbers expected the seventy year old woman to fend off the thirty year old man while her elderly husband called the police, ...and keep getting beaten by the club until they arrived. ::)

Skip, it's not cool. That no one was held accountable for that ridiculous operation other than some transfers is typical of our governments philosophy. The supervisors and management who approved and or implemented that operation and allowed guns to get into the hands of bad guys should be prosecuted.

I quoted the fundy libtards who want them banned, including yourself...are you telling me you were for the "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazine ban and you didnt even know what it banned?

sounds about right for the "you have to pass the bill before we know whats in it" crowd.....

here you go

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/17/assault-weapons-ban_n_3103120.html

do a little more research Im sure you can find it

you referred to the text of the bill

that's what I am asking you about

I didnt coin the term, maybe you should ask your liberal friends as they are the ones who want them banned.

I would say use the term "assault weapon" in the way they used it in their bill that failed miserably

I searched the bill and couldn't find the term "assault weapon"

so what exactly are you referring to and if you didn't mean "assault weapon" then why did use the word and even go so far as to put it in quotation marks?

you said "the way they used it in "their bill" yet there never was any bill and even with the stuff you've cut and pasted you haven't clarified exactly what "the way they used it" you're even talking about

give me some examples, using your link, of where you object to how they used the term "assault weapon"

that shouldn't be too hard for you

and I still have no idea what that you object about in "how they used the term assault weapon"

I think that term appears about 22 time in the text you cut and pasted so why don't you find one of those examples and explain what you didn't like about how they used that term

that's of course if you weren't just talking out of your ass and actually have no idea what it is that you claim to be bitching about

oh I forgot, you have no idea even though you use the word

so now you are capable of defining this word

last week you couldn't do it and said it wasn't even your word

so "fundy" refers to beliefs about the gun features

is this your word now or are you defining someone else's creation?

It was explained pages ago, you chose to continue on the same vain and just dance around like a Saturday night line dance-o-thon. You could have participated in a healthy discussion yet chose to focus your efforts on derailing it.

I don't know if you just like pushing tommy's buttons or what your motives are, but this thread is a good example of why I don't post here often.  There's little discussion going on and it's just a bunch of back and forth nonsense and jibber jabber.
