there seems to be a semantics issue here concerning guns.new words might help.Offensive Weapons Ban [View all]

[farminator3000]

i think someone on this forum said something about GUNS, and somebody else got confused

maybe more than once.

Offensive- meaning ANY gun that is designed for the military. offense/attack.

people who aren't fighting a war (the public) don't need to have the same guns as soldiers.

are there any guns that hold more than 12 bullets that aren't for soldiers?

i don't understand how you need more than 12 to go hunting- if you need 12 to kill an animal, i'd say stop spending so much on bullets and take a hunting class and shooting lessons.

and for self-defense, why more than 12? if you are being attacked by so many criminals 12 isn't enough, you're in serious trouble. ANY gun isn't going to be much help. the best way a gun defends you is if the baddies run away, i doubt someone would base whether they're going to run away or not on how many bullets you have or the size of the gun. understand?

if you get mugged by 5 guys, either:
1. you pull your gun, they run away.
2. you shoot one, the other 4 run away
3. you shoot a couple, get overpowered, bad scene

you can't shoot in 5 different directions at once. they'll have weapons, too
more bullets wouldn't come into play when you're totally outnumbered

so OFFENSIVE WEAPONS BAN means you can't have a gun that holds more than 12. you can keep all your guns that you already have, just trade in your 30 round clip for 2 twelves.

ok, let's hear about how HORRIBLE this would be!
