They Said Biden Wouldn’t Come for Our Guns. The Plan Says Otherwise.

Thanks for the clarification, I was pretty sure I got it right.

Actually you weren't even close.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Would you restrict ownership of miniguns?

Why? Any criminal with the means to get one already can.

 

[ding]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Which is why I have firearms.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Just the ones that limit what any light infantry ought to have. Which today would be semi-automatic firearms with high capacity magazines.

And a fully-automatic rifle, and/or a belt-fed machine gun.

And a fully-automatic rifle, and/or a belt-fed machine gun.

That's already off of the table. Unless you want a pre-1986 one. Which pretty much all are now investments instead of tools.

U.S. Army Light Infantry primarily utilizes lightweight, mobile equipment for rapid deployment and engagement in various terrains, including rifles, machine guns, mortars, and anti-armor weapons. They carry all their essential gear on foot, emphasizing individual soldier skills and fitness.

Key Weapons and Equipment:

• Rifles:
  The M4 carbine (a fully automatic military rifle) and its variants are standard, providing a balance of firepower and maneuverability.
  
  
• Machine Guns:
  The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) provides sustained fire support, while the M240B serves as a more powerful, belt-fed machine gun.
  
  
• Anti-Armor:
  FGM-148 Javelin is a common anti-armor missile, while the M72 Light Anti-Armor Weapon (LAW) offers a more portable option.
  
  
• Mortars:
  The 60mm mortar (M224) provides indirect fire support at close range, while the M252 mortar offers longer-range support.

I like the way you are thinking. Unfortunately though, we are limited to semi-automatic firearms with high capacity magazines WHICH IS THE MININUM STANDARD FOR A LIGHT INFANTRYMAN.

Does 'unfortunately' mean all the equipment I listed should be available to the public?

I thought TX was still part of the US?

No. It doesn't mean that. It was a joke. You were just too wound up to pick up on it. The reality is not EVERY infantryman has all of those things. But at a minimum he would have a semi-automatic weapon with a high capacity magazine. Which I am ALMOST certain you would like to ban and confiscate.

Prove me wrong.

Unless you're claiming-with a straight face-that a huge, heavy weapon that costs more than a new car and needs a vehicle mount is something a criminal might use.

Call it whatever you like. You are on the wrong side of this argument.

Do you know why LEO and soldiers discharge their weapons in anger? There is only one correct answer and it's the same answer I would give if I had to use my firearm in anger.

Like most on the Right, your sense of humor is very poor. And no, I don't want to ban any weapons. You're welcome to have a fully automatic weapon if you are willing to have it infringed by some training, registration, and probably by some insurance.

Criminal use? Hardly likely, but it would have been an asset in the hands of Stephen Paddock, the 2017 Las Vegas shooter.

Me and the majority of Americans.

Paddock planned for MONTHS. Had he wanted to do so, he could certainly have gotten his hands on a machine gun.
