Showing Original Post only (View all)Handguns, Shotguns, Rifles, okay [View all]
But when you own a 100 round magazine, there is something the matter with you.
I own a handgun and a shotgun, for good reason. I live in the South, and there are times when we are threatened by wildlife and must defend ourselves. We also defend our families from human intruders.
I have never know a single person that needs to own an AR-15 for a practical purpose, and if you own one, you are showing it off as an extension of something you don't have. Do you NEED a 100 round magazine? No. You are compensating.

It is easier to identify the guns rather than the people that are threats to society.

That's just your opinion. Do you believe you're the judge of rationality and truth?

Indeed it is my opinion that the penile compensation canard is not a rational argument

It's a perfectly rational explanation for irrational behaviors, such as buying semiautomatic weapons

I don't have one either, but that does not mean a need has to be demonstrated

Its a valid analogy about "need" There are others but I like to use the TB disc one since

Do you realize that a handgun, shotgun, and rifle is *exactly* what the theater shooter used?

Cho killed 33 at Virginia Tech using *reduced* capacity magazines that only held 10 rounds each.
