Nah, I didn't say there wasn't a need, I said I don't see the need, and I still don't.
Suppresive fire by militia? Ever laid down suppressive fire before? Whose going to have the tactics among civilians [ maybe a few militia groups who are operating in the country, but certainly not every tom, dick and harry will know what to do and how to make the suppressive fire work ]. That would take training and tactics which most civilians won't have at their disposal.
Hell, if it was that easy the military would not have to train as hard as they do for the tactics to work. Your neighbor know how to shoot and scoot while another lays down that suppresssive fire? How about the guy up the street?
Even if the neighbor has tactics, he may be at work, away for whatever reason. Some of you folks really think military tactics will just appear on everyones door step and you'll all be in step with each other. Thats hardly realistic, and if it isn't realistic to think civilians untrained in such manuevers won't know what to do, are you thinking maybe you'll be able to show them, if you knew yourself in an hour? a day?
Ever seen the cluster created by combat? thats what you are talking here. I guess the military just spends their time training for something to do as the tactics come naturally. It's all so easy from the armchairs though.
And this IF the country was invaded or the gov types started door to door. Thats a big if to my thinking. There will be utter confusion on civilians parts with very few [ relatively speaking ] who actually understand what is required. You thought process would have every civilian with autos and suppressors automatically be able to perform these functions. If you believe that I can't help you.
B9mmHP: I see, there just is no way to keep the piece in your neighborhood without suppressors. Very interesting theory there. How about you leave the dog alone or better yet call the police/animal control officers. These are potential avenues for you to take besides killing a dog, which probably breaks some law, hence the suppressor needs. Maybe thats why you want to be so quiet about it. You have premeditated [ here on the forum ]to kill a domestic animal, you need the suppressor so you don't get in trouble. I see now why everyone wants one, and exactly why I don't think you need one. You make my case very well there sir, thank you. You are about to break the law and need a silencer to make it easier to get away with it. Geesh, thats a good reason to let you have one right?
Yep, everyone should have a suppressor like Gordon. He's already got a plan to break the law with his. Real strong cases are being made here, can everyone see that people come up with all kinds of dasterdly things to do with one.
The home defense theory doesn't hold with me, it apparently does with you. People have been getting by defending their homes just fine without them, but we need them now. Can't defend your home without one, theres a need if I ever heard one. Right.
You got the wrong feeling there about carry issues with me. If you had read the posts you would have caught my posting about being an NRA member, my money going to the same place as yours I presume, to defend the rights to carry. Thats different than needing full auto and suppressors though to my thinking.
Art Eatman: I'm not an optimist where they are concerned, I'm more apt to worry about guys like Gordon above using one to break the law cause he can be quiet about his killing an 80 yr old mans dog, theres just no other way around it, he has got to have a suppressor to do the deed or get caught. No one believes he would be the only one to think of ways to circumvent the law with one do they?
