Free state meaning countryour Second Amendment is about the security of a free State not natural rights. it says so in the first clause.As with any God given right the government cannot take it awayonly the unorganized militia complains about gun control.Why do leftists get hung up on machine guns?Second Amendment. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
So...in my opinion (your own mileages may vary), I'm pretty darn sure our founding fathers did NOT have in mind that we should ALL be allowed to have siege towers, catapults, tanks, canons, etc in our back yards aimed at our neighbors or nearby cities/towns.
So my question is.....why are NON MILITARY NON POLICE people allowed to own machine guns in any form? What is the purpose? To hunt? Maybe for sport since using one will shred what they claim they plan to eat for ....cough...survival. So why? NOBODY should own or have a permit to carry or own an AK whatever or anything similar to it. The ONLY purpose of these weapons are for mass extermination...in a quick manner. To take out as many as possible, usually humans.
I am all for the second amendment, but that means to protect ourselves against harm..which means a hand gun or two, a rifle, a hunting weapon, etc. This does NOT mean we can drag our catapults with us wherever we go. The only purpose for a catapult is the same reason AKs exist. Mass death. And as I stated....I don't think the writers of the constitution had what is happening now, in mind when they wrote it.
The only ones that SHOULD have access to such weapons are the military and police/sheriff/etc (Law Enforcement).
Your thoughts?
"So my question is.....why are NON MILITARY NON POLICE people allowed to own machine guns in any form?"
as a progressive/liberal on social issues but much more moderate/conservative on crime/military issues I support
1. the right of all citizens (nonfelonious) to own weapons including "machine guns"
2. I DEMAND that anyone desiring to own such weapons MUST;
a. be properly trained by police or military
b. be properly licensed to own such weapons
I RESPECT the RIGHT of citizens to own such weapons for the following reasons;
1. I don't trust the government, either.
2. I don't trust OTHER governments and believe that at any time NK or china or russia or Grand Fenwick might attack/invade and I support the individuals right to be prepared for such a contingency.
