Errr.... I signed on to no such concept.
I think if the gov’t can own it, so should the people.
When I read your post, it seemed like you were utilizing an absurdity to prove a point. I do this at times. It’s absurd for us to own an F22, so it’s likely that a 50 cal could also be absurd.
Now that I understand where you are coming from, I am not sure I’d buy into the F22 scenario.
If you take that out to the end of the logic trail, you would have to be able to arm the F22 with the same munitions the government would be able to arm it with.
I am not advocating and overthrow of the U.S. Government or even to blackmail the U.S. Government. I am advocating that we make the government sit up and think when it bulls bogus operations.
In a prolonged fight, we will never be the winner over the government. Every tool at their diposal would be used against us. Most of the populace would stand up and cheer to see it too.
