Anonymous Coward User ID: 30422424 United Kingdom 12/20/2012 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hate stupid...It is SEMI automatic. That means it fires once for every trigger pull. Quoting: Darrell41653 And there are plenty other semi automatics that are far more powerful than a .223 caliber. Everyone is afraid of them because they look mean I guess. And one more thing. The pistols that nut job used were also SEMI auto's. In a close quarters battle a shotgun is a devastating weapon, far more powerful than an AR 15 in .223, you can even get them in SEMI auto too. Also GREAT for hunting rabbits and other cut, furry, and tasty animals. I get so tired of hearing all these gun tards talking crap that they know NOTHING about. You can get full-auto 12-gauge shotguns, with a 30-round mag! AA-12! |

The Second Amendment exists to keep government tyranny in check. Gun confiscation is a tyrannical act. If government tries to do this it will start a civil war. |

That whole inalienable rights thing. Simply put, the government should have no say in how I defend myself. The Constitution wasn't written to tell me what to do, but to tell the government what they cannot do. Quoting: BioReaper On a grand cosmic scale of things, nobody has rights, just privileges.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20360291 United States 12/21/2012 01:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I will say it again. The right to bear arms in self defense is an inalienable right. The government should have no say either way. Self Defense is me being able to field a weapon superior to that of my enemy. If the government says my only means of defense is a little one shot pea shooter, while some thug is packing a tec 9 machine pistol, then my self defense is kinda meaningless isn't it. |

God gives you the right to defend yourself. The founding fathers insured the individual rights of the citizens. The radical left has referred to these things as privileges, and overstepping government agencies and leftist continue to erode the foundations of the United States. It is good to see people speak out about this. |

anonymous coward User ID: 28609512 United States 12/21/2012 02:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Over the course of history (continuing into today) there have existed tyrannical, oppressive governments/organizations, governments/organizations which wish to seize resources/countries, and groups which wish to wipe entire racial/ethnic/religious groups from existence. They often have the power of military force and law to back up whatever they want. How can an average citizen ever hope to change such circumstance without a way of defending/protecting their right to make a living, their community, their property, their family, and/or their own life? Do you think a knife or a small handgun has any chance against tanks, fully automatic weapons, large groups of armed soldiers? Maybe we have become complacent because most do not live in the midst of such strife. However, our ancestors did. We're playing for keeps here. No turning back. Do you REALLY think 50 to 1000 years from now that everything will be the same as today? Can we know for certain that our future, and that of our children and their decendents will not require such protection? Ever? What if we are invaded by another country? What if we have a large scale geological or solar even that wipes out electrical service to a very large area for weeks/months/years. Do you REALLY think you'll have your own private security detail assigned to you and your family 24-7 to prevent looting and keep your family save? How did that play out for Katrina or Sandy? What if a disaster covered a MUCH larger area? Do you REALLY think that banning guns will prevent any future gun related tragedy from occurring? Did making drugs illegal prevent deaths from drugs today? Think it through. |

All it means is each time you pull the trigger a round is discharged. It does not mean multiple rounds are fired while holding down the trigger. Eat to live. DO not live to eat. |
