M14 Shooter

Why?I don't mind if my neighbour has a shotgun, a rifle or a handgun...
But I have to admit I would feel a bit more concerned if my neighbour had a fully automatic weapon.

Except that, legally, the M16/M4 series of weapons are machineguns, and are individual weapons. I believe the M249 is also an individual weapon, which is, obviously, alos a machinegun.The intent of the 2nd amendment was to provide arms to individuals for the purpose of individual use. Machine guns are not normally individual weapons, rather crew served.
Except that guns have only ONE purpose and thats to kill things
Except that guns have only ONE purpose and thats to kill things. Household cleaners are used to clean. Cars are used to transport. Each can cause death, but they have other purposes which help society.
What are a guns other purposes?
PERSONAL DEFENSE
why else to cops carry them?
Do you deny the historic prevelance of self defense in American history?
and I didn't mention household chems. But, i'll remind you, we functioned as a soceity with horses too. Why arent you making the case that vehicles make it easier to kill people since we can all ride a horse? Why? because cars dont kill people; people in cars kill people. Similarly, guns don't kill people; PEOPLE with guns kill people.
]By...killing people.
um, COPS carry guns in order to kill people, eh? yup,you sure do see widespread epidemic of killer cops out collecting civilian heads! That is clearly the standard behaviour of cops.
That people generally defend themselves when attacked? That has nothing to do with being an American.
the fuck it doesn't. Why else do we have a second amendment? Do you need a list of FF quotes on self defense? What period of American history DIDNT have guns around? Can you kill a fucking bear in the mountains with a pocket knife? Don't tread on me, remember? Personal defense has everything to do with being an American
[/quote]The average American commute today is around 50 miles to go to work. Have fun doing that on a horse.[/B]
oh.. so that 50 mile commute is more important than yearly deaths caused by vehicles? What amazing priorities you have! Way to allow for as much consideration necessary despite the fact of yearly vehicle deaths. Lemme guess.. You drive a car.
Tell me how else are they used for self defense.

how many more do you want?
Self defense from the state . I don't think whatever guns they had back then were very useful if someone tried to rob you.
uh, no.. self defense from the general reality of life. Again, gan you kill and skin a bear with a pocket knife? You DO realize that our history wasn't all pavement and convenience stores, right?
No, it may CHANGE our economy but cars, and 50 mile commutes, are not INTEGRAL to commerce. History proves as much. You are making an excuse for driving despite its yearly casualty rate and won't extend the same for guns. Again, I assume you enjoy driving rather than huffing it.
about as asinine as watching people on your side deny the second amendment, eh? Or, in this case, the history of the US. Not to mention minimalizing the value of life that is extinguished by a 3 ton mode of transportation while crying that guns have no social value besides a killing rampage.
Hey, we can both talk shit. clearly, there are no vehicle deaths in NYC. uh, yea. and, chances are, you are not a virgin to a car seat. In fact, have you ever taken a taxi? Have taxi's EVER KILLED A MOTHERFUCKER?
Indeed... your worldview is the standard by which all 'mericans should conform to.
Except that guns have only ONE purpose and thats to kill things. Household cleaners are used to clean. Cars are used to transport. Each can cause death, but they have other purposes which help society.
What are a guns other purposes?
Oh well, CLEARLY we should all run our ideas by you in order to find validity. Hell, if you cant argue against yearly vehicular deaths that you rationalize why not insist that they just dont count? Guess what, to a mother who just lost a kid whose brains decorate a street it probably counts. But hey, those people are not you and, clearly, when you decide what does and doesn't count the rest of the united states stops to take notes!

idiotic is an opinion statement. Guess what my side thinks about your arguments. guess how the supreme court is going to side with.
Kill less people? as long as there is no commute involved? You obviously dont hunt because guns serve the same multipurpose as KNIVES. Is it REALLY valid to say that the ONLY purpose for a blade is to kill people? It happens, you know. Maybe not on scale with yearly driving deaths but hey... if guns kill people then so too much knives, right?
I've given you two out of MULTIPLE examples of people using guns to defned their homes. Are you going to admit that, in their position, you'd react the same way or would you like to go on the record saying that you'd let your GF get gang raped because you want to disbelieve that shitty things happen in life?
so to do cars then. Like I said, cityboy.. do taxi's kill people? Is your transportational convenience WORTH the death that is allowed by keeping vehicles around?
Then others should not be breaking into my house. There is no correlation that shows a gun will make any individual kill someone. Those who already are willing to kill will do so with whatever tool is handy.
the EASY majority of gun owners don't kill people. you might as well be making the same arguement that Jack Thomspon makes against video games and the city of san fran made against city lights book store.
It really is the Tipper Gore fraction of liberalism that makes the left every bit as horrid as the far right.
suck my dick. It really doesn't matter to me that you want to disqualify an arguement that conveys your bias for personal convenience.
Thousands die every year because America understands that its the INDIVIDUAL, not the tool, that is responsible for casualty numbers. You can pick and choose your personal application, and lord knows that no one is forcing a gun into your hand, but the rest of us will go ahead and remember that we have a second amendment.
So somethings purpose determines whether it should be regulated or not? That makes a ton of sense.
Purpose is determined by the user.
Hey bern.. did you know that people were actually KILLED before guns were invented? It's the strangest thing. I coulda SWORE murder was invented on the same day as blackpowder.
Wow, really? Its so amazing that you would bring this up considering nobody has argued anything different . Oh, but I guess it would be too much to ask that you actually respond to the arguments.
are you fucking kidding me? Isn't it a little soon to start crying all over the place?
Indeed, IM the one who is lying. clearly.
Again, what you consider valid really deasn't amount to much considering your inconsistent application according to your personal enjoyment of vehicular transportation. You go tell a mother who just lost their kid to a highway accident how idiotic it is to compare the tool that is a car with the tool that is a gun. She will probably agree with you and buy you a beer instead of taking a swing at you.
Sure, it was probably pretty hard to eat the fucking deer while it's running away from you, eh dude? I mean, Im sure Ethan Allen was THE MAN but i'm not sure even Davy Crocket could pull that one off.
Say, killing the animal is probably not an integral part of food prep! Meat just magically appeared out of the sky until tofu was invented.

No, it's not clear that you are dumb by the opinions of those who post here. You do enough to make that case all on your own, buddy.
NEVER happened, eh?

You: Tell me how else are they used for self defense.
Hey, evidence is a bitch, eh?
Not really when you are too stupid to understand the evidence.
How ELSE are they used for self defense, NOT including killing someone or threatening to kill someone. Derr.
Killing a person is against the law. Im quite confident that the killer in VT does not reflect the rest of the gun owning people in VT who are not out killing people. So, yes, I will go on the record and state that I have no qualms with selling legal guns to citizens of VT.
Yeah and once hes broken the law the victms are already dead . Big help it was to them.
Would you like to go on the record again and tell me what the exchange rate is for a human life as long as they are killed by a car and not a gun?
When did I ever say one was worth more than the other? Oh wait, I never compared them. Nice lies again Shogun.
And, likewise, MASSIVE amounts of people depend on guns for protection, entertainment and food.. without which, they could be killed, SEE ABOVE ACTUAL EXAMPLES OF GUNS PREVENTIC SUCH, would have to deny their American Heritage, and may not be able to make ends meet on the dinner table. sorry if YOUR life seems more important to you than theirs are to them. Clearly, you are god and must be worshipped.
Wow, entertainment. A right to entertainment now? Pssh, thats not worth very much. Sorry the state took away your toys. Cry me a fuckin river.
Deny their American heritage?Thats rich. Keep making shit up as you go along, maybe you'll hit on a decent argument one of these days.
Curious how many people depend on guns for food? Not how many hunters there are, but how many people hunt for their survival. I doubt very many.
And again, vehicles are about as static of a social requirement as black and white televisions and AM radio. You can make excuses for YOUR accepted death machine all you want.. WE still have the second amendment.
You are retarded. Cars are integral to the US economy. Why do you think prices of everything goes up when gas goes up? Because cars/trucks/etc are used for pretty much everything.
I hope you realize that your approval really is necessary for me to sleep at night. For real. If you think there is little hope for me the I really can look forward to a week of stressed out insomnia. for realz.
Wow, I mean I said that really expecting you to care deeply about it.![]()
why are there more deaths by vehicle than any other mode of transportation?
yea.. though so.
![]()
Non sequiter. Obviously. Try anwsering the question, hotshot.
you may not want to believe it, clearly you never seek to polish your own turd, but you really are making the same arguement for restriction based on bullshit assumptions about a threat to the public as Thompson and San Fran.. I'll even toss Bruce on the fire too. After all, saying motherfucker on stage decays the moral fabric of our nation and MUST BE BANNED FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY!
![]()
Really? When did I talk about moral fabric? Oh wait I didn't. As i said, not quite, no. You repeating it over and over doesn't make something true.
Sure it does. And, just so you know, I really don't give a fuck if you wont admit it.
Alright, then keep on lying about it.
The FACT of yearly vehicle deaths remain a constant and you don't care as long as a taxi can take you to work.
Keep making shit up, won't you. I rarely ride in taxis either, and never to work.
Further, we'll see what the supreme court says about the validity of your arguement. Care to make a wager on THAT? Ad hominem fallacy? Indeed, it probably isn't ironic AS FUCK that you cry about ad hominems at the end of the very same paragraph in which you called me a fucking moron.
The USSC is actually dealing with intelligent arguments, not the ones you are making. Perhaps you could read their briefs if you wanted to get an idea of what good 2nd amendment arguments are as opposed to the bullshit you keep posting which you somehow, amazingly, think is a decent argument.
And you are a fucking moron. Does that make you wrong? No. That you are wrong is why you are a fucking moron, which I explained. Hence I didn't make an ad hominem. Learn the terms before you try and use them, son.
your consistency is as solid as a turd filled, shit flavoured jello mold.
/pat you. Stunning argument there.
Stealth bombers probably count now too, right? Lemme guess... chemical weapons are ARMS, right?

Is your argument then that nukes aren't arms?
Hey, I just wanted to clear that up a little before you start telling me how dangerous my butter knives are to society.
