the second ammendment was established, not so we the people could attack the government or any other country. it is plain and simple to prevent our government or another country from attacking us. its worked pretty well for 250 years. ask the Mexicans under Santa Anna or the Japanese under Tojo.
If you look through history people seem to put up with a lot of crap.Quote:

Stripper clip technically speaking
Someone please define "assault weapon". It has only been in our vernacular for a short time, and the term is used as a fear-tool more often than used properly.Quote:

BTW, guns have already been confiscated by the government with little notice. Google "Katrina weapons confiscated" and you will see denial and then admission. Look on Youtube and you will be shown videos as well.
The sound the clip makes when getting ejected out of an M1 Garand is something that is so distinct, you always recognize it. My dad rarely spoke about Korea, but when I brought home an M1 Garand, he told me some amazing stories. Part of me felt bad about bringing those memories back to him. Very few were pleasant. Thanks to all vets.Quote:

Arguing over something without a definition is the epitomy of stupidity. You have to deal in specifics to reach a specific goal. My belief is that people who hate guns dont want to define it because their ultimate goal is to remove guns from private ownership entirely. Gun lovers are smart enough to know that if one restriction is enacted, more will be sure to follow. I'm sure there is a middle ground somewhere but there has to be assurances that no other changes will happen. Obviously, though, we cant trust our politicians to make a promise and keep it (ie: Obama "taxes on middle class will not go up" LOL!)Quote:

An "Assault Weapon" for me is what ever I happen to grab to keep you from "Assaulting" me or my family.
I think this might helpQuote:
