This photograph shows why we have a Second Amendment.
Older article, but I thought somewhat relevant. I read something earlier that somewhere in the Post article, the author made a comment ....
“The Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment protects the right to own guns in common use. That doesnt cover the semiautomatic weapons regularly used only in mass shootings.”
How the AR-15 Became One of the Most Popular Guns in America .... https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-11-07/how-the-ar-15-assault-rifle-became-one-of-the-most-popular-guns-in-america
inspired by Nazi infantrymen on the Eastern Front during World War II ... actually it was not inspired by the weapon used by Nazi infantryman on the Eastern Front during WW2. If I’m not mistaken, it was the Regular German Army that was doing all the fighting, while members of the Nazi Party, and its officers, were the SS types that didn’t get their hands dirty. And, the rifle that was based on the weapon of German soldiers was the AK 47, almost an exact duplicate.
Didn’t read their article, don’t care to. Until someone addresses the drug issue(honestly), the fact that kids today have no social skills, spend their days getting desensitized playing video games and always getting a trophy. Then reality hits them and they’re not special anymore and they can’t cope. Then we have these clowns..
turning them in as well might be an idea worth considering.

The fact that those will never be turned if is the entire reason behind the 2nd amendment in the first place. That picture should be plastered all over the media every time one of these mass shooting loving political ghouls appears to tell us “turn in your guns, trust us”
Honestly, all the weapons bans, and new law proposals are just so much hot air. With 250 million guns already in circulation they will never get them off the street. Anybody willing to possess one, legally or otherwise. will always have that option.
The chilling truth however, is that the legal system has already enacted enough criminal and civil statutes to make it almost impossible to ever legally use a weapon you possess. The criminal, the mentally deranged, and the revolutionaries willing to suffer the consequences will continue to prey on the rest of us. The law abiding, however will be castrated by existing statute to confine gun use to home defense used against non-governmental intruders in very specific cases.
I always wondered - who shot this picture? Is this a reenactment? Were there news crews on the Elian Gonzalez raid? Do any Freepers happen to know the background?
