Gun rights people, do you really need 30-75 round ammo clips?

The truth is NOBODY knows what they intended. The Constitution is constantly evolving with new legislation and Supreme Court decisions. The Constitution uses the generic term "arms" which would include anything from a sling shot to a nuke. Obviously it's not good for society to allow private ownership of nukes. Even James Nichols agreed with that (See "Bowling for Columbine"). So if we all agree that the constitution doesn't cover nukes, then that means that somewhere there exists a line between appropriate arms and inappropriate arms. It would therefore be up to Congress to decide where that line is drawn. Claiming the second amendment automatically gives you the right to any type of gun is a flawed argument unless you also believe that there should be no restrictions on any other types of weapons (nukes, mines, grenades, flamethrowers).

rights dont come from the government

What's a detatchable magazine? is that where you just slap on a new bullet holding gizmo and start firing again?

You're using "Bowling for Columbine" as a referrence???

There will always be some kind of arbitrary line drawn in the sands of time for what is or isn't acceptable. If the British had been able to keep the patriots from having the ARMS necessary to defeat them this would have been a much different country.

actually, you can. they sell flares for those things.

thanks p0ink now whos the dumbass... Sorry twitch

just because you can buy a grande launcher, does not mean you can readily get your hands on the rounds. the grenades the m203 shoots dont just impact on impact, they have to complete 32 (i believe, may be 34) complete revolutions before the thing arms itself, then it has 3-5 seconds before it detonates.

good luck making one of those things. where are you going to find the casings, the primers, the arming system, the shell, etc.

I was referring to the part where that looney James Nichols (think OK bomber)gun fanatic actually agreed that nukes should be regulated because "there are a lot of wackos out there" (that was before he put the pistol to his head )

wasn't the co-conspirator named TERRY nichols?

either which way, dont start painting all legal, law-abiding gun owners as the michigan militia type.

James Nichols is Terry's brother. He was seriously investigated for a role in the bombing but they didn't have enough evidence. Assault rifle owners tend to be Michigan Militia types.

Assault rifle owners tend to be Michigan Militia types.

so if someone owns a gun that has more than 2 of the following, it means they are of militia mentality?

has a pistol grip
has a detatchable magazine
has a collapsable/telescoping stock
has a bayonett lug
has a flash supressor (this is not a silencer)
has a bipod

how do any of those make a gun more deadly?
