it means that I, as a US citizen, have a constitutional right to own guns. I dont want the king of England barging into my house telling me what do to, do you?

so you're saying the amendment wasn't created in an effort to stop possible foreign invasion by the british?

then explain why the quartering of troops amendment is in there...which is obviously DIRECTLY linked to foreign invasion.

Yeah, ok, thats great and all, but when will the restrictions be lifted? If the restrictions actually ARE lifted, I wonder if Boston will follow suit and no longer require assault rifles to be individually approved by the police chief. Man...I want an match AR-15 so bad... Its gonna be tough enough to get my Class A license, even though I have absolutly no priors, and have been a resident of MA all my life. The law says that target shooting is a perfectly good reason to own an AR-15, and to obtain a Class A, but I have a feeling that its not going to be easy. Might have to have my GFs bro sponser me (he's a police officer).

Why do we need assault rifles again?

As I understand if no new legislation is entered either as a rider or if possible new bill it will come to sunset September. Let me tell you I have wanted to buy some new clips and will have to wait. The funny thing is the Democrats added a rider to an existing bill and then voted down the bill directly after but what can you do?

Some of those reasons are valid but this one strike me as pretty dumb.

Full capacity magazines, (also banned by the 1994 act) are a requirement for this type of competition since every re-load costs a couple of seconds.

They arent a requirement..if everyone in the competition is at the same disadvantage it makes no difference.


Also another question since I do not wanna read this whole thing. Are they trying to make as easy to buy an AR as say buying shotgun?

[Southpaw]

They are now for the most part 845 Do us all a favor and go to the link and read or do a search there are a TON of pages on both sides! Also AR was never banned! Not to be mean but I dont want to spoon feed it to you.

Bush served as well. No he didn't destroy a village full of women and children, but he did serve.

how can u call serving in the natiional guard service, when his service is even questionable. Kerry went and fought in vietnam and bush hid behind his father in the reserves. bush is a coward, And why do u need an assault rifle. It is totally un-neccesary. Saying you need a assault rifle to target practice is just plain stupid. Use a hunting rifle.

Kerry destroyed a village of woman and children, and you don't call that questionable?

And why do I need an assault weapon? To kill anyone who tries to break into my house more effeciently.

As of current day, the 2nd amendment makes less sense, then it did when this nation was formed.

Simply because there is no longer the need for a militia to protect the US.

Assualt rifles to me, seem like overkill, there just doesn't seem to be a practical use.

But the fact is, say we abolished the 2nd amendment and made it illegal to own a firearm. I highly doubt there would be a noticeable decrease in shootings, etc.

Because most of those guns are bought illegaly anyway, thus doing nothing to keep guns out of criminals hands. But there would be a decrease in accidental shooting, which are caused by stupid people not locking their gun away safely, and letting their kids get to them.

in short I'm not really sure where I stand on this issue, besides the fact is all gun-trafficking should be closely regulated, and we should do everything in are power to try to stop illegal gun trafficking.
