Surprisingly, gun ownership is actually pretty even across left and right. The left are just hypocrites

But the niggers guns aren't registered.
[–] nubbyhubby 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Regardless the Democrat leadership will try and abolish gun rights! So anyone that loves the 2nd amendment and votes for the Dems is "suicidal".

It's the young ones coming out of colleges and universities that are scary brainwashed. Thank God for generation Z, I don't think we could withstand two or three more generations like those idiots.

In case people don't realize WHY they are going for rifles first instead of handguns I will explain it again.
It's because if the jew controlled police start knocking on peoples doors and searching houses, your neighbor can simply shoot the pigs down from almost a mile away if necessary.
It makes it almost impossible to enact a police state.
[–] perro_negro 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
Explains why it seems everyone is ignoring shotguns. They are really deadly up close and don't require that much training. Yet it's always about rifles.
[–] Feces_the_clown 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
They haven't gotten to them. Yet.
[–] HeavyBrain 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
Because shotguns cant shot a 30 caliber clip in half a second

It can shoot down a plane and penetrate police body armor. Sounds like just what our founders intended us to have - the means to defend ourselves from the government if necessary
[–] HeavyBrain 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago
I hate the Musket argument, when I explain that Muskets were the bees knees back then and that military and people were just about equaly armed in those times aka way heavier than today I get blank stares and then the reeeing starts.
[–] firedak 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
also that civilians owned cannons....
I mean, you can still own a black powder cannon and not need a tax stamp, but back then when the biggest weapons were cannons, and anyone who wanted to and had the money could own a cannon, it would be like owning a missile today.
[–] ShitPostMcGee 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
Speaking of body armor, the founders would probably want the people to have some too, but for some reason it is illegal to bullet-proof one's torso in this day.
Edit: Nevermind I am a dumbass

There's been at least one attempt to outlaw ballistic armor for civilians, but it failed obviously.

They're trying to outlaw everything down to the plastic fork while knife wielding muzzies run Europe. They look redick-yewlus.

When anti-gun people ask you why you need an AR-15, turn the question around on them and ask them why they drive a Mercedes instead of a Honda (or whatever car model fits). It usually shuts them up.
[–] superspathi 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I think I'd say "Because it's good for killing large numbers of people in combat."
[–] Plavonica 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Why do you have {iOs.device} instead of {plain.flip.phone}?
[–] firedak ago
The fun thing is that an AR is more like a honda than a bmw. You can build a cheap as dirt one and it will still be fairly reliable.
while you can buy a BMW of a bolt action rifle to shoot accurately at a mile.
[–] Rellik88 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
In AZ we use AR for coyote hunting. Great for not fucking up the pelt.
[–] HeavyBrain 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
What you are expecting from people who say that banning 30 round "clips" is good on the long run because once the gun nuts shot the 30 rounders only the small 10 rounders will be left.

inb4: Muskets are cannons and nobody(but the government) needs that kind of firepower.

What they don't get is there are a lot of people that will never go for gun control regardless of how many children are killed. How many have to die? All of them.
[–] HeavyBrain 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
When the exact opposite is what should happen in those cases.

The Illuminatus Trilogy is a sci-fi/satire book set from ~1975. It details how the government will use escalating mass shootings until the populace begs for gun control. Other "tragedies" will also be used to steer people towards the desired outcome. It's quite a read,
