You miss the point.

By banning the AR-15 you have done nothing.

There are very few actual AR-15 sold today.

I bet you have no idea as to what the AR platform refers to.

You may get some feel good ban but it will accomplish nothing except screwing with the law abiding citizen that wants protection, a hunting tool and/or just something to poke holes in paper.

I dunno, Because hundreds of thousands died to protect our freedom to own one or twenty? The better question to me is why do you feel the need to commandeer these rights which have been so nobly defended by our forefathers and squander them in exchange for the fantasy of a fleeting fairytale.

Riddle me this, what about the human condition begot the need for weaponry? Or are you under the impression that a wicked sky God dropped guns into the formerly blissfully peaceful fraternity of mankind only to unleash a plague of violence which otherwise never would have been known?

We need weapons to protect ourselves and that has not changed, nor will it.

Why do people need $75,000 vehicles? They don’t need one they just want one.

So, you are simply proposing to ban that make and model?

It’s like banning the F150, without regard to that fact that every other pickup truck is exactly the same.

Again, how would you word the ban?

i didn't peruse the thread, but i assume numerous people pointed out that:

1) you don't NEED to refuse a search that isn't based on probable cause without a warrant

2) you don't NEED to criticize the government, protest, or actually say anything in particular atall

3) you don't NEED to vote

next tier, arguendo

4) you don't NEED to have gay sex, or a sex change, or abort a fetus

If you are the former, than you should know the reason for the latter.

Wrong little retard, the 1994-2004 AWB didn't ban a single weapon. Simply created two categories firearms and made the AR-type rifles the single most popular rifle platform.

We ban fully automatics and you gun nuts don't complain about that. We ban grenade launchers and you gun nuts don't complain about that.


Neither of those things are banned and getting supressors off the NFA list is just the first step in dismantling the 1934 NFA.

You are typical of the uneducated bottom feeders that make up gun-controladvocacy.

National SOCIALIST worker’s party. The NAZI’s were fricking socialis


This is one of those controversial and intentional misnomers in history. The Nazis only claimed socialism to ease the populace into their radical system. Similar to how progressives are using the term "liberal" now.

They were right wing in every sense.

1. Jingoism
2. Belief in racial purity
3. Absolutism of government
4. Military Worship

The NAZIS are the main reason why we don't have a real right wing party in most West European countries. How do you explain that.

I'm not supporting the far left, but it's dishonest to say the NAZIs were anything but far right in all but name.

Why did Cruz kill 17 people?



Because he was mentally ill.

A better question would be “why didn’t the police do something about Mr. Cruz during one of the 3 dozen interactions that had with him. After being called out to his house a few times does it not make sense to say maybe we should do a psych evaluation on him?

Take that linear political spectrum you're used to, with socialism at the far left and facism at the far right. Now bend it until it makes a horse shoe with socialism and facism right next to each other.

They're two sides of the same coin. Call it what you will, far left, far right... It makes no matter. At the end of the day they are far more alike than different.

I don’t need to explain why I need anything in response to someone misusing it. Stop blaming inanimate objects. It’s stupid and it’s lazy.
