A farmer with knowledge of chemistry can make a weapon of war...
Maxine Waters (D)emented, CA - “It is whatever WE say it is!”....................
A kitchen knife taped to end of a broom stick can be a “weapon of war”
The Founders knew what they were doing when they guaranteed that the citizenry has the right to well armed.
Please identify to me any weapon that we have today that has not been used in war.
Hint - you cant, simply because every type of weapon from rocks to rockets has been used in warfare.
A Mossberg 500 series hunting shotgun (perhaps the most popular shotgun for the last 50 years) is a weapon of war - the US Army currently uses the Mossberg 590. The most popular hand gun in the world, a 9mm semi-auto, is a weapon of war - the US Army uses a Sig Saur 9mm pistol. The Remington 700 deer rifle is a weapon of war - until a few years ago a version of the Remington 700 was the standard US Army sniper rifle. The AR-15 has never been used by the US Army and is not a weapon of war.
If I hit you in the head with a brick, have I not just ‘assaulted’ you with a ‘weapon’?
A High Capacity Media Transmission Device is a Weapon of War.
So does this make my AR-7 OK?
Trench guns (shotguns) were weapons of war, and I suspect they still are somewhere. If we register our MSRs, they’ll go after the FUD guns next.
I will give this guy’s article credit for one very important fact that even 2A defenders omit from their argument. The fact that throughout American history private citizens legally possessed weapons superior to our military. This even went as far in the early to mid 19th century to artillery as river flatboats often carried swivel cannon to defend against pirates, private forts, like Ft Bridger, possessed cannon, merchant ships routinely carried naval ordnance. In the early 20th century citizens, particularly in the West and Southwest possessed semi auto rifles like the Remington Model 8 and Winchester 1907. One can see bad guy Warren Oates using a Model 8 in Ride the High Country. When I first saw this flick in high school I thought it an egregious error. But director Sam Peckinpah knew his stuff.
I think this history of civilian ownershio should constantly be put forward as the norm, not as some modern day excess.
The gun grabbers seem to make the argument that any weapon that looks “scary” is bad. The AR-15 is no more lethal or powerful than lots of other guns with a conventional look and wooden stock, but is demonized because it resembles a military weapon. Of course the media is totally ignorant and perpetuates the mythology that any weapon that looks like a military weapon has almost mythical powers of destruction.
Liberals fail to note they eat with assault weapons and drive one to work.
...and now it’s simply a part of the muddy bottom of the last lake I went canoeing in.
Uh, what is this ‘war’ they are talking about?
The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.
And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?
It’s black...therefore it’s evil....in the minds of the Libs.
I dont care what they think it is. It is a legal firearm and if the red states have the guts they’ll nullify each and every friggan law these SOBs in FT Apache DC try to push.
Get in contact with your state reps..

A home defense weapon, maybe? Or a sniper’s tool for short range elimination of threats?
Anyone who lives on or near the southern border, in the rural lands, in the inner cities where home invasions and gang violence rules should have weapons of war.
