wrong, the real question is you dont know what an assault rifle is and even when you post the legal definition, you cant tell what is or what ISNT one by that definitionThe real question is, where do you draw the line?
Should RPGs be legal?
What about grenades?
Or automatic weapons?
How much firepower do we want the gangs to have?
Wrong. The 2nd Amendment is about the right of the People to keep and bear arms.The second amendment is about a well-regulated militia.
Wrong again. the key words . . . "shall not be infringed."Key words...."well-regulated."
Not to you--keeping powerful military weapons out of the hands of law abiding folk is the sole purpose for your gun control measures.Keeping powerful military weapons out of the hands of criminals is very important.
Provided we're talking about the deaths of 6,000 law abiding, yet unarmed people, who died out of lack of capacity to mount any effective defense of their lives, I'd say you are entirely full of shit regarding "gun lovers"--it's the gun control crowd who demonstrates their disregard for the lives and liberty of peace loving people.But gun lovers don't care about deaths of 6,000 people or the near destruction of Mexican society because they have no empathy for the suffering of others. That's why they keep losing elections.
Of course not . . . every step folks like you have taken is to render the good people incaple of defending themselves with these weapons.It's happening right here in Central Florida. Only six years ago, officers in Orlando and Orange County seized 15 high-powered AK-47s and AR-15s. Four years later, that number grew to 79, a jump of more than 400 percent.
These guns are not in the hands of good people trying to protect themselves.
You are . . . in so far as you and those like you are attempting to infringe upon the right of the People to keep and bear arms.No one is trying to trample on Second Amendment rights.
Perhaps if the right to keep and bear such weapons were not illegally infringed upon you might see such defenses more often.But there do not seem to be many examples where honest citizens stopped a crime, or caught a criminal, by brandishing an AK-47 or some similar brand of assault rifle.
Of course, that is the patently obvious point of passing gun control laws.However, there are too many examples of the opposite -- criminals using these weapons to kill people or law-enforcement officers.
Who shot back?The latest one occurred in Miami last week, when an unknown assailant fired an AK-47 into a crowd of teenagers, murdering two youths and wounding seven others.
It is familiar, gun control laws disarm the peaceful, and the violent take full advantage.Sound familiar? Last October, two killers fired 58 rounds from two AK-47s during a gunfight in Pine Hills that left two men dead.
If guns are really the problem, why don't they start with themselves?Orlando Police Chief Val Demings has seen enough. Getting guns off the streets is one of her top priorities. The same holds true for Jerry Demings, recently elected sheriff in Orange County.
Too bad they don't seize violent criminals instead.Their challenge is daunting: Almost 10 illegal guns a day are seized in this community.
The constitutional step would be to recognize all weapons as legal.The lines between a legal and an illegal gun are blurry.
What is your problem with this?In Florida, guns are readily available to anyone without a criminal record.
Do you mean to tell me that these criminals do not subject themselves to a backgroud check? I thought background checks keep guns out of the hands of criminals--I think YOU said so!But guns routinely end up in the hands of criminals.
Criminals?All it takes is a "straw purchase," when a friend or relative buys a gun for a criminal.
Nonsense. It's time to remove the obstacles that infringe upon the right of the People to possess that more-potent firepower.It's time to make some of that more-potent firepower illegal -- period.
Idiots. Or criminals. Or Totalitarians. You pick.After the latest incident in Miami, Police Chief John Timoney said that the percentage of homicides involving assault weapons jumped to 29 percent of all shooting fatalities in 2008. Mr. Timoney implored Congress to reinstate the ban.
We think: A renewed federal assault weapons ban is long overdue -- OrlandoSentinel.com
Self defense, and the security of a free state.Military style assault weapons have no legitimate use.
So says the totlalitarian statist.They need to be banned.
A direct violation of the 2nd.We don't let people own RPGs.
Correct. It is unconstitutional.This is no different.
They just break it.Criminals don't have to ignore the law.
The legality of assult weapons is irrelevent to criminals.The legality of assault weapons makes it easier for criminals to get these guns.
They should all be functional, and effective for their designed purpose. End of regulation.Guns should be regulated just like cars are regulated.
Out lawing assault weapons is a PATENT INFRINGMENT of the right to keep and bear arms, it is interfereing with the right to defend one's self in so far as it is an interference with obtaining the tools for the effective defense of one's self.Outlawing assault weapons and requiring background checks will not interfere with anyone's rights to defend themselves.
Explain that to the military and the police.Military assault rifles have no legitimate use.
They should be banned.
Just like RPGs or grenades.
Explain that to the miliatary and the police.Assault weapons have no legitimate purpose.
End of story.
I'm game.The real question is, where do you draw the line?
Yes.Should RPGs be legal?
Yes.What about grenades?
Yes.Or automatic weapons?
Depends upon the "gang." Gangs of criminals, none. Gangs of regular folks, as much as they want.How much firepower do we want the gangs to have?
