In answer to your question a. The guns in question are not military weapons. They are semi automatic firearms. Secondly, you are quite arrogant to even assume to be able to make the suggestion that you know better than I what I need for my home defense. Third, the 2nd Amendment is about more than just self defense. It’s about defense of one’s person, home, and NATION. Lastly, if the Government feels there is a need for a particular small arm type, then we would behoove ourselves to follow suit. If the Government thinks we shouldn’t have a particular type of firearm, then what in the hell are they doing with it themselves? THEY have less need of any particular firearm type than the American citizen.
As for your other comments...
Romney is not a choice. I will not vote for that leftist piece of toilet paper. He’s shown himself to be no better than Obama or any other socialist idiot. I will no longer participate in electing the “lesser” of two evils. If a candidate does not meet my standards, he’s not getting my vote. Romney falls very short of my standards.
I hate to say it but Obama deserves to win if Romney is the GOP’s best option.
Romney is going to lose for several critical reasons. 1. He’s no different than Obama. 2. His whole campaign is basically “I’m not Obama”. 3. He hasn’t energized the base AT ALL. 4. He’s a lying leftist scum bag.
THOSE are the facts. DEAL WITH IT.
Now, stop bothering us and go pander for Romney where he’ll be appreciated... DU.
I will also suggest that the Constitution envisions private ownership of crew served weapons, as shown by the Letters of Marque and Reprisal clause. What is a privateer ship but a crew served weapon, privately owned, and authorized to be used in the service of the nation by a private party?
So machine guns, artillery, and even fighter aircraft are to be available for private ownership per the constitution.
