It used to be easier.

Why, I remember when a farmer could buy dynamite from his feed store just to clear out an old stump.

What's the purpose of "assault" rifles? To piss off gun controlls like yourself. Make sure to check under your bed for the AR15 boogeyman.

My original question.

quote:

Why do you assume a "tyrannical gov't" has to be the US gov't?


Your response.

quote:

Lol what? A tyrannical government is one that turns against its own people. So if your implying a local or state government will do so, that’s even crazier. If you are referring to a foreign government, than you’re just an idiot.


1st you stated incorrectly that the definition of a tyrannical gov't is one that turns on its own people.

you are wrong.

From that question you obviously inferred I was talking about local gov't.

Then you added some irony and went to name calling.

I’m against all weapon bans, but if you are going to argue for one why not ban handguns?

Handguns kill many more people every year. I mean, your argument is that the type of gun is responsible for the kills right?

May as well ban hands and feet too.

Murders via rifles: 374
Murders via hands, fists, and feet: 656

If this were about saving lives we would first:

Ban Using a cell phone in a vehicle

Make vehicles inoperable without a buckled seat belt

Blow-to-start in all vehicles

Allow stop and frisk in the hood

Implement those and reassess in a couple years.

Not right. Actually, just wrong. In fact, I didn't have an argument at all. Just a simple question.

A couple of guys even responded with simple and reasonable answers.

let me just throw this number out there. since the 17 people were killed in Florida 2 weeks ago, 30 thousand kids were killed via abortion.

if we were really serious about saving lives, i think that would be a better place to start.

If we were REALLY serious about saving lives, every time you jack off you are killing millions of potential babies.

For every one lunatic that goes on a murdering spree, there are hundreds of thousands that don't,and should rightfully own firearms.
Millions of people drive automobiles every day and choose not to plow into crowds of people on purpose...yes,banning guns is as rediculous as banning cars.

Come on man, people were having fun with this subject and you have to go and interpose your stupid, fricking religious beliefs into the conversation.

You have an argument. You are just trying to disguise it.

You talk about handguns in your OP. Handguns kill many more people. Why not ask, “what is the practical purpose of handguns”?
