What a GREAT way for the Feds to increase their stockpile of arms for use AGAINST US.

Don’t be so dramatic. No one is nuking anyone or threatening that. I’m telling you this is not the 18th Century. The argument that you would go to war with your government if an assault weapons ban was in place is ludicrous and inflames the gun debate. Which is what you want.

Fair question. Rifles. They’re more powerful and cause more carnage when used with a pistol-grip. See @ScottPelley @60Minutes piece. To reduce semi-auto pistol deaths I’d have universal background checks and mandatory reporting on mental health.

Joe, it’s sarcasm. He said he’s going to war with America if gun legislation was passed. I told him his government has nukes. God forbid we use sarcasm

America’s gun debate in one thread.

1) I propose a buy-back of assault weapons

2) Gun owner says he’ll go to war with USA if that happens

3) I sarcastically point out USA isn’t losing to his assault weapon (it’s not the 18th Century)

4) I’m called a tyrant

5) 0 progress

Said to King Leonidas of Sparta at Thermopylae with his 700 Greeks facing more than 100,000 Persians: “Surrender your Arms”.

His answer: “Take them”.

I didn’t buy any of my guns from the government so it’s impossible for the government to “buy them back” from me.

Might as well “return” them bullets-first because death camps are the next step in the globalist blueprint.

How does one ‘buy back’ something one never owned to begin with?

He thinks that the government can “buy back” all the guns owned by citizens of the USA for $15 billion. United States citizens own approximately 400 million guns. That comes to $3.75 a gun.

Since most guns on here were lost in numerous boating accidents maybe a government dive team could go get them or something.

“How does one ‘buy back’ something one never owned to begin with?”

It’s funny you mention this.

This is called “Registration”. When you “Register” something, you’re giving the entity you’re registering to dominion of one sort or another over it.

Regis = To the King.

The police can take your car if it’s registered. They can in many places if it ISN’T registered but that’s a whole ‘nother story.

If your car is impounded, they aren’t “supposed to” if it’s not registered. I know the whole thing is up in the air, but that’s the way it used to be.

Define “assault weapon”.

My definition, an Assault Weapon is what you call a Baseball Bat after you hit someone upside the Head with it.
