wishin said:In theory, there should be no restrictions. In reality, to live in a civilized society of law and order there must be controls. Many RKBAers see the issue through rose colored glasses, thinking that all of our citizenry are of good judgement and as law abiding and responsible as they are.

Tyrannasaurus' were around long before machine guns.Yes. A full auto ban is a step into tyranny. Granted a small one, but maybe the most dangerous one in that it opens the gate to strip us of our ability to fight the next steps taken into tyranny. Until eventually there is no freedom.
hso said:Wow! There's so much mis/disinformation being tossed around that we'll never get anywhere.
Tyranny? Do you really feel that we're ruled by tyrants? Or is it that collectively, through democratic process, we've gotten what we asked for?
I agree with shephard19, as we "are" the militia, or at least we are supposed to be, although I seriously doubt we would ever be allowed to act in that capacity these days.

If guns are outlawed, then the only people who will have guns are the outlaws. That is making me to make a choice; be an outlaw or a victim.

If the government doesn't trust its subjects with a weapon should the subjects trust the government with the same weapon?
Then again, I think they have a ball game on TV and beer's on sale again.

However, the Second Amencment doesn't say some arms are more free than others. So the ban on machine guns or RPGs or even Nuclear Weopons seems unconstitutional.
Having said that, I really hope none of you has a nuke.
I meant "allowed" in another way. In other words, it would be squashed before it happened.Allowed? For crying out loud since when did we decide we needed permission to be men, and do the moral thing? When the time comes we'll not have permission, but our conscious will demand that we act anyway.
Why? Whats the difference?It just seems like a bad idea to allow anyone a machine gun.
I havent got one yet, but I'm still trying. I'm just not that good at MW2 yet. Those 10 year olds have much better reflexes than a 55 year old old fart with short arms, and I havet got a 25/0 kill streak yet. I do curse them out better though. Still, being called a wanker by someone whos voice hasnt yet changed just adds to it all.Having said that, I really hope none of you has a nuke.
One of the dumbest things ever posted on THR, that one. And it's completely dishonest. Why do you have to lie to argue your point?
If you feel I'm wrong in what I say, feel free to point it out, debate it and prove me wrong, but to start making accusations and characterizations right out of the blocks is immature.
