(65 posts)I was just having that conversation. These folks who cling so desperately to the 2nd amendment and following the constitution to the letter, if that's what you want then, give them the muskets. And only those weapons from that era. You want to live in the 1780's, go for it, but you have to do it just like they did back then. You'd get one shot off, and the mob would have ya before you could reload. The constitution is a living document, designed to grow and change with the times, with the population and technology. No one wants to take your guns, just want to take away those 30 - 100 round clips and assault weapons. We used to have a ban on assault weapons, it worked. What's the problem with that now?
I am so sick of hearing the same old excuses. No self-respecting hunter is using these kinds of weapons to hunt game. Or who needs these to protect their homes? Won't a normal gun or rifle do anymore? Automatics are just a power-trip, not necessary. Nobody gets mugged by a mob that they need to blow off 100 rounds, ok?
