I'm quite aware of ArmaLite and Eugene Stoner, thanks.
anything else?
good.
now, just forget all this Constitutional, ISIS, Obama, and technical bullshit and say it with me now.
" I want to own a weapon that I can. or may. kill another human being with if I so choose to do...possibly many, and allowing for lack of marksmanship on my part."
see?....feel better?
gooooooood.
That description covers everything from pump shotguns to .22 rifles with tubular magazines. How about let's not forget the constitution .The founders worded the second amendment as they did because they knew that tyrants would attempt to disarm the people by making small changes in the laws. They knew that a potential despot would first try and prescribe the caliber of the weapon then the size of the weapon then the amount of ammunition and so on. That is why the second amendment is written in clear on equivocal language.
Today it's "assault rifles".
Tomorrow it will be scoped hunting rifles that they dub "Sniper Rifles".
A week later self loading pistols "High Capacity Millitary Handguns".
A month after that revolvers "Saturday Night Specials".
Some time later bolt action small bore rifles and single shot shotguns "cheap guns".
Gun control is it about public safety. It's about making sure people do what the government tells them to do.
