“Big enough” is whatever is appropriate to protect my land and my family. The range of predators and varmints goes from rabbits to #400 hogs. Sometimes I must work while armed because of coyotes and bears. The needs vary, so the weapons vary. None of it is the government’s business.
Just what is the implication here?..
my answer: Bigger than your women are used to, little man.
Rule of thumb: 1 caliber larger than the largest the government has supplied to drug cartels.
I'll take one of these.
Forget 500 HP. My 2011 Sonata has a speedometer with a160 mph top. Don’t know if it will do 160, but it’s done 130 with some pedal still left. Any 19 year old male has access to cars that go past 120. What’s more dangerous, some 40 year old good citizen with a mini 14 and AR locked in his gun closet or a 19 year old male on a Sat nite behind the wheel of a Hyundai Veloster with a 1.6 turbo?
BTW, did anyone know there are no laws regulating or prohibiting flamethrowers? Nothing says “stopping power” like a squirt of 2,200 degree Fahrenheit flaming jellied gasoline.
What I absolutely must have is the freedom to make that choice myself. Without that, we have tyranny.
I hear that those Sonatas have plenty of engine.
Problem is they run out of suspension at those speeds, and then...
BLAMMO!
Any firearm I can carry will still weigh a damn sight less than any cop I could carry.
Agreed. Hat tip.

I wonder if anyone has every come out of a firefight or self defensive shooting situation thinking: “I wish I hadn’t had so many rounds of ammunition.”
Although I feel offended by the “Damn Skippy!” reference ... I don’t really know your motive.
Nonetheless I agree it is not the bill of “needs”, it is the bill of “rights”.
every = ever
“when a cigar band will suffice?”
I prefer the pull tabs on beer cans. they don’t tear nor rust. :-)
jellied gasoline? how’s that on toast?
By God! Thar’s a reasonable solution that No one could be offended by!
No offense meant.
It was merely a SoCal colloquialism.

How big are the guns that the bad guys are carrying?
That big.
