Many substances out there can be used for mass destruction that have not hit controlled substance list but I think I will quit talking about it I do not want to give loons ideas. My real point is leave my guns alone. Most people use them properly and I am tired of being limited because of idiots. Gun is a tool only as evil as the hand that holds it. I use it for hunting, have never had a reason to use in self defense but like to know it's there in caseReasonable? Quit worrying about guns. You can make a poison gas that kills thousands with common household products. All guns do is give ya a choice as to who dies. I would rather Reasonable people be able to have guns not only for protection but hey I put meat in the freezer with them. We have mass shooting because of crazy not guns. Gunna prevent people from buying clorox or coffee creamer. If ya know what you are doing you can create crazy havoc with those items.It's already legal to own a firearm "within reason". The "reasonable" part of firearms ownership means that first, you are legally eligible to possess them, and second, that you use them "reasonably." In other words, safely, responsibly, and legally.
The question is, what is a reasonable firearm? We already know that we have the reasonable right to own and possess as per where ever we are located at. But where to we draw the line at what is reasonable? And who draws that line?
When the crazies use the same poison to mass poison that poison is normally placed as a control substance. Arsenic used to able to be purchased over the counter but it became the poison of choice for poisoning relatives, co-workers, random people in coffee shops, etc.. Rat Poison is for Ametuers and doesn't work very well. Most people that get rat poisoned survive since it hits with a lot of pain and there is a very long time before death occurs. It's a quick trip to the ER for a stomach pump and an overnight stay. But with Arsenic, it's a slow acting poison administered over a long period of time and when it's finally noted,death almost always occurs.
A hunting Rifle is normally used to put meat on the table and makes a poor mass murder weapon. No matter how fast it can cycle, it's still too slow and cumbersome for changing of the Mags. Or it's too large to hide. In the case of the Mini-14, it normally takes two hands to change out the mag making it not the best choice for a Mass Murder weapon. Meanwhile, the AR is the perfect weapon of choice since it was never devised as a hunting, target or anything other than a weapon of war. The mag doesn't rotate out like the Mini-14 does. You don't have to rotate the rifle. You just press the release with a finger on your right hand and the mag falls out and you slam a new mag in until it clicks and you hit the bolt release with your right hand finger unless you decided to change mags before the bolt locked open. In the hands of a beginner, it's the fastest, most deadly mass murder weapon. But in the hands of a Pro, it's devastating. Luckily, no Pro has ever gone on a mass murder spree with one yet. Instead of the record of just over 50 dead and over 400 wounded, it would be more like 300 dead and 600 wounded in a matter of a couple of minutes.
So, if you compare guns with things that can poison people, know this, sticnyne and arsenic are controlled substances for the same reason some firearms are also or need to be controlled as well.
The AR is NOT the best for Self Defense. Not even close. It's the best for Offense. I won't go into it but I can think of many other guns that far shadow the AR for home defense or make a better self defense weapon on the street. But if I am in mind to shoot up the street, the AR is the best choice.
