you mean I can't keep an M16 in my car? outrageous!
how will I cope

And you need an assult weapon for? NOTHING that's what. Gun nuts getting a pissy at NOTHING. How come you gun freaks never step up to the plate for my right to possess a fully functioning tank?

I will bet you $1 million that the gun death rate in both countries is SIGNIFICANLY less than the US retard.

More cops dead from assault weapons.

It's way too convenient that all of these shootings are going on with all the gun ban bills being presented. There were reports all over the place of multiple shooters in the NY incident even witnesses seeing two people being taken away in cuffs. No mention of them ever again and one lone dead shooter.

key word..."Assault"....not handguns to protect property as in your domicile.

if you like Assault Wepons...join the US Military....and you can be RAMBO!

no disrespect to our active duty forces.

because this is the united states, and if i want to own an assault weapon, as a law abiding and responsible citizen i should be able to.

"...the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

if you ask me, telling people what guns they can and can't own is infringement.

this is one of my favorite quotes:

?Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State?

- Heinrich Himmler

hmmm what did Heinrich Himmler do again? i forget. :321GFY

It says "arms"... not guns.
So how about rocket launchers? nukes? torpedos? missile launchers?
Or are your rights being infringed upon?

The "right" to have "arms" doesn't mean you "have" to own anything that can be classified as "arms".

You guys cling to this outdated law like it's last bastion of freedom. Like you can't possibly live without the most powerful guns you can find simply because you're allowed to have them.

You're allowed to have pez dispensers too. Go collect those. Perhaps you won't cry so much then, unless someone tells you that you're not allowed to have the anthrax dispensing ones.

If you want to own a room full of those weapons, you should be allowed to do so. Be it you are a collector or just stocking up for the end of the world. A FREE MAN would be allowed to do that with the weapon of his/her choice.

So go on, let them take your assault weapons (while the cops, military and criminals gets to keep theirs) and sooner or later they will come for your handguns and shotguns. Then when the people are totally disarmed, you will have all deserved the fucking you will get from not being able to protect yourself.

It's not about this type or that type of gun. It's about your right as an American to have them. It's about them taking weapons from citizens who want them, while police, military and criminals will remain to have them. The end result is, YOU lose.

"Arms" mean armaments. It means weapons. A personal weapon. Torpedos and nukes are not personal weapons.

If you can pick it up to shoot it, you should be allowed to own it. :2 cents:

So lets just burn what's left of The Constitution then and start all over with "modern laws" made be honest and trustworthy politicians. Please let me know when you find these people.

That's quite the stretch. How did you get to "personal" in that? If you want to dig into the meaning of armaments, let's not get "personal" and look at the real definition:
ar·ma·ment (ärm-mnt)
n.
1. The weapons and supplies of war with which a military unit is equipped.
2. All the military forces and war equipment of a country. Often used in the plural.
3. A military force equipped for war.
4. The process of arming for war.

The Consitution, like many laws, was written at a very different time than the present. When it was written, the worst "armament" you had to fear was a musket. And one person's differing interpretation of one line in the Constitution from another person's interpretation hardly means that the rest of the Constitution should be burned, no matter how dramatic you make it sound.
But you get points for sensationalism.

Like this for example?

Sure, because that's exactly what will happen. Do you wear tin foil on your head too?

i'm glad we stocked up!

It was not just musket vs musket. Even if we do not advance to the mid 1800's when the Gatling gun was available, to think warfare was limited to muskets is funny. Will not go into rifling and how that really changed shit. Seems people forget there was artillery in use. People also used delivered explosives. Not to mention anything from armor to warships.

There really has not been a time when humans did not have weapons that were to be feared, just like there really has not been a time when a government did not have much superior arms over its populace. So simply stating that well they just had muskets so it was outdated is over simplifying it. Weapons have always advanced at an alarming rate, our forefathers knew this and yet they still wanted the citizens to have the right to arm themselves.

Why is Obama trying to take away everything we use to protect ourselves?

Fucking scary.

You better go hide then.

Why? :helpme

What's comical is how this is mostly a political issue for some of the gun nuts. I'm not going to throw out percentages, but i'd be willing to bet a good portion of those resisting this are conservative, voted for Bush and then McCain, and had no problem with the government heading down this crazy slippery slope with our freedoms, as long as it was under the mask of 'keeping the country safe'.

"Go ahead, wire tap me illegally, infringe on the freedom, and basically shit on the Constitution our forefathers fought to protect"

then months later...

"Wait, a black man wants to take my m16? Our forefathers fought for this freedom!" (even though he's not even thinking of taking away handguns, shotguns, rifles, etc)

Good for him! i'm Canadian and not a US basher, but when it comes to guns i am. Americans are obsessed with guns. Here in Canada we have big cities, the same basic tv/culture, yet we don't have a fraction of the gun related crimes that they have in the states, and it's because we have gun laws and people here aren't gun crazy. It's plain and simple, less guns = less crimes. If it were up to me ALL guns would be abolished, there should be nobody in the general public allowed to own weapons, that includes hunters. People don't need to hunt for food anymore, that's the oldest and lamest excuse in the book.

what about airports? They're one of the safest places in the world?

+ noone has a weapon in prison? What?!!

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you. :2 cents::winkwink:
