Looking for conservative clarification

And the purpose of this is????? You have defined or clarified nothing. I did not bother to look at that GaT trigger but if you have a permit for full auto you may buy a gun that is fully automatic.  Again no gun shoots 30 shots in a few seconds.  Barrel would melt, warp self destruct.  Just like explosives, if you comply with what ever the regulations are you can have them and use them in a way that is consistent with the permit you have.

So if you get your way, you are implying that you would be safer.  However, there is zero chance that your safety was in any jeopardy if I had a gun or did not.  Now when your dealer or bookie does not get the money he has coming to him do you think that you are going to be safe when he comes to your house to light you up. I suspect that he will not be showing up with a fully registered weapon handled in a safe manner.  Whereas your safety will be greatly impaired because as a law abiding citizen your only means of defense will be some sniveling words of apology and a strong hope that he does not hit your vital parts.

During the playoffs on Sunday one of the players house was robbed at gun point as the crook held some people there until they could make off with some of his possessions including two Superbowl rings.  Lucky for those people the thief was not a killer so I think they were allowed to live.  I imagine that they are now very happy that they were defenseless as they faced that gun.   

Oh and the beauty of the Constitution is that it does allow for amendment but was so skillfully crafted that the basic concept is timeless.  Governments always seek more and more power,  Those in power will seek to limit the rights of the people and on and on.  The more I learn about the founders and all that went on behind the scenes the more brilliant I think that the document is. 

You already are protected from the rest of us because like I said in another post, I cannot come by and even shoot at you just for fun. I can own a gun but they limit my use to targets, hunting for edible game and killing useless varmints.  Hmm I think I need clarification to know if that only includes creatures that scurry about on four legs.

Be a man and protect yourself.  You can't have your ass wiped for you your entire life.

Yea yea, it's about protecting the average citizen from tyranny.  My question is, who's going to protect me from the average citizen?

When the Founders wrote the 2nd, they lived in the time of muskets, that could take between 30 seconds to a minute to reload. They could not imagine guns that could fire 30 rounds in a few seconds.


Interesting to note, the assault rifle of the day was the Pennsylvania (mistakenly called the Kentucky) Long rifle. With such a weapon Americans could body shoot a foe at 200 yds easily an ideal weapon for sniping and guerilla warfare style fighting that made the difference during two wars with England. The British Brown bess had less accurate range, you had to close with 100 yrds.

That is your job. No one else. Sounds like you're one of those people that are afraid to take a crap without Uncle Sugar there to protect you.

They also used quills and ink to write with. No fancy fountain pens or ball points. The printing presses were hand set with a laborious process.
