That was what sold them, however there was another reason.

BTW, congrats to Dilbert Firestorm for making a poll without whining or asking someone else to figure it out for him!

[dilbert firestorm]

responses by certain individuals to the poll has surprised me.

You can own operate and fire a tank if you want. Not against the law.

I stated that criminals fuck it up for the law abiding.

I believe the intent was not just to defend against an oppressive government but so that we could have a citizen defense force until a standing army could be mustered. If I am defending my nation, my family, and my home; I want as much fire power as I can personally handle. I do not want what the government thinks is appropriate.

You would think that since we are a government of the people by the people and for the people and that since we are all equal, why shouldn't I have the same access to arms as the rest of the people. I suppose you feel that it is ok to discriminate between citizens by stating that only some citizens should be allowed access to certain things. Maybe we would not have so many black people getting shot by the popo, or by each other.


There are a lot of arms that just are not cost effective to personally own, operate, and maintain. I doubt seriously that I could afford a nuke. I mean I am not N. Korea or something.

In the days of the founders a rich man could own a cannon or a warship. A man with money could put together his own company of soldiers. Many did during the Civil War.

And why exactly, are you buying one? Just cause..

And i bet all who do, have had to 'de-militarize it' such as plugging up the big main gun and removing /rendering inoperable all machine guns on it..

Thanks for the quick response..
Wow, seeing that the makers themselves, are flat out admitting its geared for people to 'make full auto' fire, cause they LOVE full auto, it seems to ME like they were designed as a way around the full auto restrictions..

These able-bodied gun owners seeking speed — and the feel of an automatic weapon — are apparently the device’s primary market. North Carolina gun store manager Dorothy Royal told the AP in 2013 that while she does sell bump stocks to wounded veterans, an estimated 70% of her buyers have no visible disability.

Just like with most other things out there.. The govt feels it knows best for US what we can and can't do for our own families..

That IMO Is how it SHOULD BE.. Though the Only people i feel who shouldn't have guns are CONVICTED felons..

I too am confused how a person with limited motor ability or control would benefit from something that does that.

I strongly suggest you find that Malaysian Airlines jet youbpve lost and fly back in time to the 18th century.

I hear rum was pretty cheap back then, JDrunk.

It's incorrect.

The Sig Brace was ostensibly made for handicapped people. The slidefire, et.al. never was.

The sig brace is a work around for short-barrel-rifle NFA regulations so that people in ban states, or people who don't want to wait up to 18 months and pay $200, can have AR and AK pattern "pistols" with a stock.

They can ban whatever they want. It'll be worked around in months.

We should ban package trucks and airplanes too.

Fact is less than 300 rifles of ANY kind are used for murder each year in America based on FBI statistics. In a country of over 324 million this is a pretty small %. far more are beaten to death by bare hands.

That is a very good point.. Hell here in Cbus, according to several cops i have spoken to... ONLY TWO of the shootings they have had in the city in the past 4 years, have involved long arms.. One was a shotgun, the other an AR.. THE REST were all pistols...
