I call bullshit.
why do liberals prohibit me from buying a machine gun manufactured after may 19, 1986? why do liberals believe that my right to free speech, firearms ownership, privacy, and equal protection under the law are not absolute but their right to feel safe is?
Because you have no legitimate need for a machine gun, which is a militsry weapon designed to sweep the street clean of uniformed adversaries, soldiers of an enemy state. There is no equivalent civilian use. It's not appropriate for target-shooting, as its accuracy sucks, with the recoil pulling up and to the right
on full auto. It's not appropriate for hunting, as it increases the risk of another hunter, backpacker, or camper catching a stray round. Too much chance of collateral damage, and beside that, as Barry Goldwater once said, "If you can't drop a deer with a single shot, you don't belong in the woods with a rifle." And don't even try to use the second amendment as providing a mans by which citizens can overthrow the allegedly tyrannical, socialist, nazi, communist federal government. This is an elected government, not a tyranny. Majority rule is not tyranny when the president fals all over himself to bring the opposition party into the debate, by discarding important parts of his policy to entice them, and they swat his hand away, stick out their lower lips like a bunch of fucking three-year-olds who are way overdue for a wood shampoo, and petulantly shout,
"NO!!", with a stamp of their little untied blue tennis shoes. Some tyranny. if you don't like the direction the country is taking, vote the fuckers out, but don't bitch when you vote stupidly for a once respected and independent-minded Senator who became a hack and a forehead kissing brown nose planting one on the frat-rat punk whose campaign lied about him in the 2000 SC primary. McCain was sucking up to a guy he should have been sticking a shiv into. Then he compounds it by choosing a completely unqualified, ignorant, lying, sociopathic bimbo as his running mate,and you knuckle-dragging morons vote for this bullshit special, because you can't stand the thought of a black man in the white house, and you are so clueless, you can't understand why your side got its head handed to it. Then you whine about tyranny when the super majority on the other side starts pushing the agenda they were voted into office to pursue. Your party's leaders pout that the d/ems aren't being bipartisan, when during the period you held power, your party defined bipartisan as, "Our way or the highway." Now that you were run out of town ona rail, you insist that GOP positions be included in bills despite the wholesale rejection of those policies by the voters. This is not tyranny, and the founders (Jefferson) did not intend the second be used to violently overthrow the republic they had created, just because you disagreed with the winners' agenda. The purpose of the second amendment is th edefense of the state: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed." You want to bear a flintlock, single-shot, Brown Bess rifle for your free state's well-regulated militia, have at it.
But Fuck your childish whining, "I want my machine gun, and I want it now. I'm going to hold my breath and turn blue. Then you'll be sorry." I'm not free unless i have my machine gun."
Get real. The rest of us aren't going to let right-wing retards have fucking machine guns. You'll either shoot your eye out, or shoot one of our eyes out, or some psycopathic redneck crystal meth head will steal the damn thing, and then we're all fucked.
