What’s The Coolest Gun You’re Probably Not Allowed To Own?(allowed?)

You’re talking with a friend about gun rights and the limits of the Second Amendment.

“Absolutely, you should be able to own a gun,” she says. “But who needs an assault weapon?” She goes on to spout a line explaining how bump stocks turn regular guns into machine-guns. “Doesn’t the sale of machine guns put the public at higher risk for school shootings? Machine guns kill more people faster, right?”

She has a good point. Fully automatic guns are dangerous when they fall into the wrong hands. You start to wonder: Do we really need them?

But then you read the Second Amendment again. And you remember: The amendment protects our right to bear arms, not just so that we can protect ourselves from crazy school shooters, but so that we can protect ourselves from any threat to our freedom — up to and including our own government.

Living in the PRNY I’m limited to semi auto and 10rounds at the range. 7 rounds to carry.

I would love an older, Chicago typewriter style Thompson with the 2,pistol grips topside bolt handle and an assortment of drum and stick magazines.

I mean I could move and get the BATF paperwork. The big drawback would be the price, artificially made extremely high because of the McClure-Volkmer Act ( thanks President Reagan…the one thing that you signed that I disagreed with you on)

Until someone comes along with 20 inch guns.

Design A-150 battleship

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_A-150_battleship

Design A-150, popularly known as the Super Yamato class, was a planned class of battleships for the Imperial Japanese Navy. In keeping with the Navy's long tradition, they were designed to be qualitatively superior to battleships that might be faced in battle, such as those from the United States or Great Britain. As part of this, the class would have been armed with six 51-centimeter (20.1 in) guns, the largest weapons carried aboard any warship in the world. Design work on the A-150s began after the preceding Yamato class in 1938–1939 and was mostly finished by early 1941, when the Japanese began focusing on aircraft carriers and other smaller warships in preparation for the coming conflict. No A-150 would ever be laid down, and many details of the class' design were destroyed near the end of the war.

“But who needs an assault weapon?”

I'd have stopped right there and asked this bimbo to please define the term "assault weapon".

No discussion can proceed without clearly defining the terms and words to be used in any reasonable discussion.

There’s a reason they always had the biggest trooper haul ‘the pig’ M60 around. They were big, heavy and hard to control.

Well, that's not necessarily true. From 1975-1977, before I was promoted to Sergeant, I volunteered to carry the M60. I stand 5'6" (as much as I could stretch) and, at the time, weighed 135. I loved that old hog and learned/taught myself battalion/depot level maintenance procedures. Never had a breakdown or anything more than a ammo misfeed.

When I joined my Cav unit in 1975, I wanted to be sure that, if I had to, I had a weapon that could really reach out and touch someone. I qualified as an expert (badge and drop) on the M60 in 1976 on a qualification range at Graefenwoehr ... the only time that I'd ever seen a qualification for M60 in my 20 years in the Army.

So even we Munchkins appreciate good firepower when it's offered ...

“Need” is not part of the equation sweetheart.

Back in the 2000’ I went on a couple of mission trips to Venezuela. The security guard at our hotel had a single shot 12 gauge pistol.

Venezuelans shot have bought guns when they had the chance.

He also gave vaccine companies immunity from prosecution for damages. And also signed one of Ted Kennedys amnesty bills.

If done correctly, this could be a golden opportunity to plant a seed of doubt about everything that person has been fed by the main stream media and lib politicians
