latest media meme: why should civilians be able to own assualt weapons?
followed by: if they can be armed like the military, why not tanks and bazookas...?
Our reply should be:
How many more children must die at the alter of “gun free zones”?
Or we could state:
The largest mass murders in all of history have been governments with unarmed populations.
Too bad elected Republicans check their balls at the door to Congress....
We aren’t armed like the military.
Not even remotely close.
Where is my Cobra gunship with 30mm cannon and HEPs?
Where’s my aircraft carrier?
Where’s my automatic weapon?
Where’s my Spectre gunship?
We are armed with civillian weapons, stupid media. The assualt weapons you refer to are nothing more than military “style” weapons. they are not military weapons.
****ing idiots.
My answer is two part. First, come up with a viable definition of "assault weapon."
Then tell me why exactly I have to justify exercising an inalienable right based on "need?" No one asks you to show a need for another email account based on the 1st Amendment. No one is calling for a capacity limit of 10 friends or less for facebook pages in California. Hey, you have a facebook page, why do you *need* to communicate with that many people at a time? Ha!
I may or may not need an "assault weapon" (how-ever you try to define it) - but I absolutely, unquestionably need the freedom to own one. That is non-negotiable.
“...if they can be armed like the military, why not tanks and bazookas...?”
Yes, I want both...guaranteed by Amendment 2.

actually the Constitution does allow you to have any weapon if you have the money I guess...
“The right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed!”
“followed by: if they can be armed like the military, why not tanks and bazookas...?”
Which was the original intent of the 2nd amendment.
Don’t have any problems with private tanks and bazookas myself, except that I can’t afford ‘em...
One of the enumerated powers of Congress is to issue "letters of marque and reprisal" to privateers, authorizing them to attack enemy ships. Privateers were privately owned, heavily armed ships - probably one of the most powerful "weapon systems" of the 18th century. So yeah, why not a tank or bazooka, or a heavily armed ship?
