You need high capacity magazines to defend yourself? If so, you are either in the wrong profession or you need to move.
What do you have to defend yourself should the need arise?
Our government is NOT going to stand down because we've got AR's and pistols. They've got missiles, drones, tanks, etc. etc.
You do know what guerilla warfare is right?
Think afghanistan and vietnam....
The military would have to bomb indiscriminately,which of course means dead civilians.
Another fact for you, there anywhere from 150 million gun owners to around 100 million. No one really knows for sure.
Our standing army has 1.3 million troops of which only 20% are combat soldiers.
Do the math.
And do you really believe our military is going to fire on their own families and friends?
If the shit ever happens you can bet it will be due to a grave violation of the Constitution,which the military is sworn to defend.
I know you're not a deep thinker like most liberals but a little common sense goes along way.
You're truly out there on this one. I can't even begin to follow your argument, and it is not because I'm stupid; it is because this is insane nonsense. You start by saying we should have as many guns with as many bullets as we want, because we might need to defend ourselves against the government. Then you say we outnumber the combat troops in our military. THEN you say the military won't attack us.
And you think there's something wrong with
me. LOL
Almost as crazy as saying we should be able to go anywhere we like, without asking permission from our rulers, or say anything we like, even ideas that oppose our rulers.
What's wrong with you is that you're a statist thug openly hostile to civil rights.
Oh, quit whining. All of this over the possibility of limiting the number of bullets in your killing machine?
You're all sick.
If you call weapons, "killing machines", then why would you allow police and the military to have them?
Clearly the average population is more restrained and less likely to kill than the paid police and military.
And in fact, many of the police and military are way out of hand, and actually enjoy abusing their power, it seems to me.
When we spend 75% of our annual federal income on weapons for the military, why don't we call that "killing machines" then?
When these weapons are in the hands of average citizens, they are much more defensive than when the military has them.
It is when average people who are supposed to be responsible but instead refuse and hire unknown surrogates to do their duty with weapons for them, that these weapons become machines of murder instead of machines of defense.
So if you do NOT have a weapon and instead rely on mercenary police and the military, then it is YOU who are allowing these to be weapons of murder instead of peace.
