16. No, see, that's just complete and utter paranoid bullshit blather.

News flash: No one gives a shit about your "ability to revolt"; certainly not the Government, because no matter how big and scary your gun is or looks, the government's going to have a bigger and scarier one. Fantasizing about playing Red Dawn in your basement is one thing, but the New World Order and teh dread UN Black Helicopter people -if they actually existed- wouldn't be any more or less afraid of you no matter whether or not you had an AR-15, or not.

No fucking difference.

There isn't going to be a "revolt", Yosemite Sam.

What this is about is regulating weapons that can kill large numbers of people in a short span of time - like kids-, without reloading.

And no one "needs" them.

If they really think they "need" them to "REVOLT AGAINST TEH BIG GOVERNMENT" they ought to consider going on anti-psychotics.
