Stupid question.
We should make meth illegal, too. Then no one would do it, right?

Unbelievably, nobody except Israeli politicians and Trump ever need police protection.

Bravo! Yes, the 1911 is a handgun. The M1 Garand and M1-A are rifles. I'll sell you one, or all if you have the money (if you can pass the background check and have an inkling of how to load and fire one).
If I sell you one of my Garands, when loading the magazine, make sure to keep your thumb on top of the cartridges to secure them when the bolt slams shut
Oh, and yes, I'm allowed to vote(by the way, it's they're)
Ahhhh, once again a low IQ right winger demonstrates his lack of reading comprehension. Now, just so the fool can get a grasp on reality, the claim made by another of your idiot class is that is the RESPONSIBILITY of every American to OWN A MODERN MILITARY RIFLE. Is that too hard for your wee little mind to comprehend?
I trained with the M1 back in '62 you fucking asswipe. I am sure there have been changes since then. Of course, I can even remember when you could buy an M1 for 70 bucks at Montgomery Wards.

I don't know if the M1 had an auto-mode.
But I gather the current crop (M-4?) are basically shortened versions of the M-16-A1, which has a) safe b) semi, & c) auto-fire modes.
While it is technically true that, if a U.S. citizen is willing to hop through enough government hoops, they may be issued the special legal permission to have auto-fire weapons. But according to what I've read of it, that path to "shall not be infringed" is so onerous, so burdensome that very few do.
Isn't it interesting that in "the land of the free, and the home of the brave" the People are not allowed to buy & own guns that those in Switzerland are issued for free?

Do you just go off on nonsensical ramblings that have nothing to do with the previous comments? You said they should 'leave it up to police' if someone was robbing/attacking them. That suggests a constant immediately accessible police officer on hand. So your idiocy has once again been highlighted.

No, I don't.
Each is military issued, and in competent hands, is as effective as any modern weapon.
Yep, Wards and Western Auto sold shoddy welded and refurbished M1's, but believe me, mine aren't any of those.
As for fully autos, if I want to spray lead, I have shotguns for that.
Along side the 1911, my pick for a rifle would be one of my hunting rifles because one well placed round is all you need.
Then you should get out more.

I'm very familiar with MPs. Just stop. The military attitude has caused a lot of problems and not solved any. I don't want Sergeant Rock patrolling my neighborhood, I want Andy Griffith.

As usual, you miss the point, and you do so either ignorantly, or deliberately. So, read the sig of your BBF Rune, and tell me what it says.
And not all of the weapons sold by Montgomery Wards were garbage.
Shotguns have a very limited range, and for "spraying lead" you would need something along the lines of birdshot which is not very effective for stopping power. No. 2 buckshot would work in close quarters.
How many times have you missed a deer, or an elk, with your hunting rifle? That is why they have that full automatic.
I believe he retired.
Your neighbor hood must be like mine, rather quiet and peaceful. But not all neighborhoods are. Andy would have problems in those. Real assholes don't deserve respect.
Unfortunately, some with and without military training have left their badges go to their heads and developed an "attitude," yet don't use their heads under stress. I just
believe those with military training to assess a situation and act accordingly are better equipped.

And I disagree. I think they get violent first and that's why I don't like seeing them become cops.
First off, he isn't my BBF, we are worlds apart politically. And I have argued his sig before because I don't believe every American should own a modern military weapon. I read the posts here, don't you?
Most M1's given to gun clubs and sold publicly were 2nd rate. Of the 14 given to our gun club, some had worn parts, some misfired, some jammed and some had barrels as smooth as shotguns. My father and I took the best parts and built 2 that were rather decent from the lot. Those we lent to the ones who were serious shooters.
As for my shotguns, the ones I use have been patterned and loaded accordingly, depending what size shot I use. My 1100 3" mag. has good range with #4 shot.
Yes, I've missed a deer on occasion (no hunter hasn't), but an auto or semi auto would not have been any more advantageous. After the first shot you must reestablish aim or you're not going to hit shit. Recoil is real.
I don't think they all get violent, although some who have seen combat probably could. I grew up when some cops were WWII vets, they were all right and it was the younger ones who had an attitude. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree
I have got to hear this argument and the logic or the lack thereof. The 2nd amendment is subject to regulation but the 14th and its "jurisdiction" clause is not? Why?

Remembering your ignorant state of mind, the 14th. is regulated, just not by some wannabe dictators fiat.

Not many. Depends on the topic being discussed.
That is true. However, I found that most of those sold at Montgomery Wards were of good quality.
Their effective range makes them very problematic for any form of defense save for home defense. I have two 12 gauge "Home Security" types that would never work for hunting.
So those who argue that an AR-15 with a "bump stock" is needed for hunting are full of shit, right? I have two 30-30's (one lever, one bolt) that serve me just fine, and have for decades.
