re: Mass shooting reported in Texas; multiple deaths reported

Im not backpedaling at all. I state and continue to state that guns like the TEK DC9 semi-automatic machine gun were designed to kill human beings in mass. The designers and manufactures of the gun don't give one thought or another of how it kills innocent or non-innocent human just as long as it is good as causing mass carnage. I never said I was a gun expert far from it. I do know and you can correct me if I am wrong, that the TEK DC9 has a two handed grip so you can better spray bullets and the company had got in trouble previously for marketing its excellent resistance to fingerprints. I don't need to fear monger anything, this is reality I am not exaggerating any event. I am purely pointing out the absurdly and acceptance of having these types of guns at your local sporting good store and/or gun show that can be easily purchased to do exactly what they were designed to do.

Cool. Mine is when people try to blame the weapon for a tragedy, knowing full well that the issue is in fact not the weapon, but the evil person behind it. But hey, don't know how we can stop that, so I know, let's take the weapons away from law abiding people and ensure that only criminals can possess them. Hooray America. Wash, rinse, repeat.

That’s really not the point though.

It’s an argument I wish people would stop making. Not because I agree/disagree with the statement, but because it shifts the debate away from the original intent of the 2A. And believe me, the original intent argument isn’t one anti-gun people want to be having - the original intent was to have the people protected from their government. To do so the people have to be as well armed (or at least have the capability to be as well armed) as their government.

The founding father had just fought a bloody war against a tyrannical government - their own government nonetheless. They knew that in order to prevent that from occurring again they would need to assure the new government couldn’t use undue force against its people. But, that same new government would need to be able to defend itself against other governments. So how did they reconcile this? They decided to equally arm the government and the people.

This is supposed to be a system of checks and balances not unlike those of Congress-President-Supreme Court. The government should always “fear” the actions of its people: should a government abuse its power, the power it derives from the people, then the people should be able to defy with equal force. This could be an invasion by the government or simply an unjust intrusion onto personal property. (I’m not advocating that we take up arms every time congress does something we don’t like, but the threat should be there. Congress should weigh every decision it makes against the will of the people - and an equal armed people are much better represented than a populous of unarmed sheep.)

Furthermore, because the government is supposed to be limited in its role, the people are in turn supposed to be empowered to carry out personal defense of their persons and their property. The founders never intended the government to be the “nanny” of our lives; we aren’t supposed to run to government for every little problem that arrises. This works on all levels including a community’s choice to self-authoritate.

Lastly, because of the wording and the very nature of the 2A, it shouldn’t matter if a weapon is “useful,” or “necessary,” or any other qualifier you wish to attach. It is simply whether or not I wish to own it. If I “want” to own a gun that can fire x rounds per minute, or looks like a gun from a movie, or just because it looks like fun, then I should be allowed to because it isn’t prohibited by the Constitution and I haven’t had my rights to own such removed by due process. Someone else’s “dislike” of my property is not justification for inhibiting my rights.

Then you should know that a semi-automatic machine gun is a thing that does not exist.

Charles Whitman Killed 18 people and wounded 31 at the University of Texas with a bolt action, single shot hunting rifle, a rifle that can still be purchased at most sporting goods stores.

Bushmaster AR-15 used to kill 20 kindergartners. Wonderful weapon. Columbine used a Tec Submachine semiautomatic pistol.

Again, when you figure out exactly what you are trying to talk about let me know. I’ll be here. Until then, push your bullshite agenda on another website
