If the druggies can have their legalized marijuana ... why can’t I a law-abiding legal born citizen of this nation have a legal machine-gun without having to jump through all of the legalization hoops? I might need protection from the masses that aren’t in this nation legally. There could be an incident where my simi-auto would not be taking care of an approaching problem under unusual circumstances. I have an obligation to my community to uphold the peace. The illegally here, on our nation’s soil, would probably have fully automatic weapons supply by God only knows who. I deserve the right to defend and protect my community and my family. So what is the problem. Government says Mr. and Mrs. America, we decide. And that is the problem the government has no right to decide whether or not I perceive a threat. I know there is a threat. Our Forefathers told us there would always be a threat. The D.C. leadership has protection with full automatic weapons. My community deserves no less.
I have written on this subject here before and bares repeating. The best argument for this is, if a law enforcement agent needs a full auto M-4 and 4 to 6 magazines of the 30 round type because of the threats he or she faces then John Q Public needs the same. What threats does mister agent face that we in the public don’t (out side of those they create). If those threats don’t exist than why does mister agent need them? We in the public face everything day in and out for longer periods of time than any LEO. A weapon carried by the agent is for personal protection not your protection. So with with that said and we being denied the same who do you think it is they are afraid of? You first answer is RIGHT.

Read the SCOTUS verdict in _Raich_, and how it was used to dismiss _Stewart_.
The Feds haven’t made their move on Colorado et al yet. They will, nd it will get ugly.
