Check your facts. Say America has 4% of the world's population and has
42% of the guns in the world. Ask Senator Feinstein.

Then read about the Oath Keepers. Guns are my natural right birth.

If you are offended, ask me if I give ****.

 What Scott doesn't realize or refuses to acknowledge is that a large
percentage of those arms are owned by people with military training and
COMBAT EXPERIENCE .


The vast majority are owned by ordinary americans, survivalists, and
criminals.

Second, the guns are useless when you run out of ammo; and you can't
complete
with a government on that count.

Third, you're not paying attention to recent world history. Show one
example
where guns in the hands of the populace have overthrown their own
government
without any aid from an external government (even the American Revolution
was
provided arms and ammunition by the French).

I believe that hunting weapons should be legal (bolt-action rifles,
limited-magazine shotguns). I'm less convinced about handguns, but
could
support revolver possession. Not assault rifles, weapons that can
easily
be converted into automatic weapons (e.g. bump stocks or modified
semi-auto
handguns) or actual real automatic weapons.


The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was not just to allow us to just shoot
and hunt or protect our person. It was aimed at helping to keep an
oppressive government at bay.


And then the world moved on and anyone stupid enough
to try that like the Black Panthers, Simbionese Liberation
Army, Koresh and Ruby Ridge ended up dead.

Look at the huge thread here with Jefferson's comment about criminal and
government.


From the fool that had slaves.
