So either no one can have a gun or we let everyone have as many as they want.

Asking for a friend.

The only brain-dead dopes around here are the ones who can't recognize a good analogy when it staring them in the face.

You are limiting the choice to two extremes of a spectrum, which rarely really addresses the issue. And which only an extreme minority on each side favor.

We have a compromise system that has largely worked. For the most part we allow people to have guns if they can show responsibility and compliance with the law, and we do our best to keep guns out of the hands of those who have demonstrated that they are likely to misuse them.

And can't present an intelligent argument against it, and have to resort to cheap name calling.

I'm not limiting it to two ideas, the country is.

A hundred and twelve years ago, in 1907...our great grandparents were first able to buy the rifle pictured. The semi-auto Winchester Model 1907.
This is a gun they could buy from a Sears catalogue and have delivered via US Post. It was/ is a semi-automatic, high powered centerfire rifle, with detachable, high capacity magazine.
About 400,000 semi-automatic rifles were produced before WW2. Civilians had hundreds of thousands of these for 40 years, while US soldiers were still being issued old fashioned bolt action rifles.
The 1907 fired just as fast as an AR15 or AK47 and the bullet (.351 Winchester) was actually larger than those fired by the more modern looking weapons..
The ONLY functional difference between the 1907 and a controversial and much feared AR15 is the modern black plastic stock.
The semi auto, so-called "assault rifle" is 110 years old. It isnt new in any way.
The semi auto rifle was not a weapon of war. The government MADE IT a weapon of war 40 years after civilians had them.
The semi-auto can be safely owned by civilians. The proof is that literally 3 generations of adults owned and used them responsibly and no one ever even noticed.
Want to fix the horror of mass shootings? Fix the things that have changed for the worse in the last 50 years. Family Values, Prayer from Schools, Ten Commandments from court houses, Spanking Kids, Morals, What is socially acceptable, Confusion on Genders, Left Wing Liberalism, Socialism, ect.
Cause the rifle technology in question was here long before this insanity. GOD SAVE THE USA.

put your gun grabbing ways down for a minute and think about holding the people responsible for their actions not the weapon.
They cannot do this. It is beyond them. Name a Liberal who has done that.

Yet they still wonder why they are viewed as they are.

Here's a novel idea...why don't we hold the gun user responsible (oh yeah, we already do that) AND limit the amount of firepower and individual should be allowed to own?


You think you should be able to own an uzi? How bout one of those black hawks I mentioned earlier? Fighter jet too? A fully armed tank?
Yes or no ?
Yeah...we do that, all right. Just look at Cities all over the Country (mostly Democratic-led...but not all). They hold Gun users responsible...Bullshit.

Radicals on the Left shit the bed for Democrats as a whole with the Idiocy of Defunding Police and Reduced/No Bail for violent Criminals. Yet you act like Gun Owners are the ONLY part of this huge problem. Another reason why nobody takes what you say seriously.

There are lots of illegal fully auto weapons out there on the streets.

Most are easily altered by bad guys. They don’t care …….if it’s illegal.

Like at Waco and Ruby Ridge? They both had a lot of weapons when the government came for them and a lot of them were killed. If the government comes for you the chances or you surviving if you fight are very low. If you're lucky you end up in jail for the rest of your life. I'm not saying what the government does is right but if you're in their crosshairs it's pretty well over.

No. Citizens shouldn't have weapons that the military uses to inflict the most amount of damage in the least amount of time. That has nothing to do with the ordinary citizen.
