Can someone tell me where in the 2nd amendment it says you can carry machine guns?

You got me on that one. Dang, I need to try harder.

BULLSHIT and you know it.

I don't want all firearms banned. Saying you don't need big clips or spray riffles does not mean an all out ban. Saying we don't do enough to prevent the mentally ill or violent felons or domestic abusers from getting them, ALSO NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT BAN.

You can legally buy a car. But you cant drive a an armed military tank on a public highway, much less own one. 

Seat belts are not anti car. Speed limits are not anti car. Saying we need to get off burning fossil fuels, also not anti transportation.

Idiots like you would rightfully agree that you would not want your gun used unauthorized. I agree ONLY YOU should be using it. But you are so stuck in the past, and paranoid you wont even consider makers moving to smart guns which would prevent unauthorized use.

The Second Amendment was never intended as "anything goes" free for all. Just like "no taxation without representation, never meant no taxes at all" With rights come responsibility, and with political pluralism which is what the west rightfully values, one lobby does not get to dictate by itself. Not getting everything you want all the time is not oppressing you. 

YOUR EGO, is the problem, not your right to own a firearm. Your "anything goes" bullshit is the problem, not gun ownership itself. But more importantly FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, your "nothing bad will happen because I was legal at the time of buy" is mental laziness, and FOR YOU, for your own safety, that alone makes you far more dangerous to yourself.

NOBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU. How is it you can apply rightful skepticism on religion, but when it comes to guns you scream like a fucking brat "BLASPHEMER" when nobody is out to oppress you for pointing out your lack of pragmatism. I cant oppress religion either, but when when it gets out of hand, it should be challenged to a manageable level.

We have a gun injury death epidemic. You like right wing Muslims and right wing Christians blindly defend a topic when nobody is arguing an all out ban, or should for that matter. 

GROW THE FUCK UP. Safety isn't a call for a ban. Regulations are not a ban. Your attitude sucks.

Hi Brian. 

I am not sure that I ever wrote that you won't to ban all guns, but I do get the sense that you are anti-gun and anti-gun ownership.  

What we have in the US is a crime epidemic and a murder-by-any-means epidemic and a drug epidemic.  We do not have a gun injury and death epidemic.

You seem to believe because you do not call for a ban on all guns that NOBODY is out to do so....and that is just uninformed nonsense.  The anti-gun and Socialist bunch have been out to remove all guns from all private citizens for decades.  Perhaps because you sort of agree with them, you never noticed.  

Sarah Brady said long ago, "Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."

Of whom do you think she was speaking?

Janet Reno said, "Waiting periods are only a step.  Registration is only a step.  Prohibition of private firearms is the goal."

Charles Schumer said, "We're going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy!  We're going to beat guns into submission."

Sounds to me and to many others that a whole bunch of powerful people want to take our guns away and just delete the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights.

And...of course, Lenin told them, "A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie."

I appreciate your not wanting to have a gun around you, as my sister is the same.  Although she once broke a wine glass to slice her wrists when she had suicidal ideations last time many years ago.

Men do tend to like to make a show of it and guns certainly do that.  

My way of looking at this is that the law-abiding gun owners have already grown up and faced reality and we will continue to proceed accordingly.
