    But you know what I really don't need? I don't need mommy government telling me how to live my life and shitting all over my constitutional rights.
    How are they shitting on your rights when the law they are proposing is constitutional???

    I just hope you take that same mindset when the issue of gay marriage comes up.

    I support gay marriage and you will not find a post by me that says anything otherwise

    Glad to hear it

    That is one aspect of hypocrisy that I struggle with, when somebody wants government to stay out of their lives, but then are fine with it impeding on others' lives.

They are all made by knock off companies because respectable manufacturers know they are a joke. The Aurora shooter had one and his jammed after firing less than 30 rounds.
    I have yet to see a cogent argument on how banning fully auto guns (or other arms like rpgs, landmines, etc) is constitutional (according to the SCOTUS), but further restrictions on the type of arms you can own are not. You seem fairly reasonable, though entrenched in your view. Can you argue this?

    I've ignored this statement by you multiple times already on purpose. You're trying to get into an argument over semantics and I don't feel like wasting my time.

    You left off the first part:

    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.


    Call me when you're signed up for your local and well-regulated militia, and I'll let you bear some arms, bro.

    I would say because a rocket launcher, grenade, landmine, sawed off shotgun etc. can not be used for self defense without running the serious and unavoidable risk of injuring the wrong person. They are too imprecise.

    Genuinely speaking how does this law specifically infringing on your right???

    You can oppose the law because you believe it is not effective but I don't see how you can argue that it infringes on rights.

    We do not know the extent of the new law but if they throw in some healthcare mandate, that will prob infringe on the rights of millions of people due to the fact that every single thing is consider a mental illness in some way or another.

    It certainly shouldn't be based on any diagnosis (not scared of people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for example). But I'd be more than happy to know that people with paranoid schizophrenia or who score really high on the MMPI Psychopathic Deviate Scale are not allowed to have guns.

    Those things have a purpose beyond inflicting harm/damage upon something. The Constitution partly tells you how to live your life.

    I'm just curious what people need an assault rifle for.

    Because the reason why they shouldn't is based on a fallacious argument of that they will go shoot up a school if they have an assault rifle.

    Come up with a perfectly sound argument as to why they should not and I will support your premise, as is, it is full of deception and lies.
