True but I was also being facetious. An imbecile knows people have them specifically because of the second amendment and fear of the government. So for Biden to try and exploit this is truly laughable. Not to mention crime being off the Richter Scale and defunding the police! This article was so spot on! I have never been a fan of guns until now and seeing what the government is doing. You gotta be out your mind not to see it. If I wasn't so uneasy about having a weapon in the house I would definitely own one solely to defend myself against the government. Thankfully I have friends who are trained whose homes I will be running to should things get worse with the government take-over.

Uneasy feeling about having a weapon in the house? How about the stove in your kitchen... it might catch fire. Or a power saw, Lord only knows what could happen if that's placed in the wrong hands. And what do you use to carve the turkey on Thanksgiving? It requires little imagination to realize what severe damage knives can leave in their wake. Yep, gotta always be on guard against those pesky inanimate objects, as at any moment they just might take on a mind of their own and come right after you.

I believe in a person's right to own guns--just not WAR GUNS. You don't need AR15s to defend your home or Family. And, statistically speaking, those who keep guns in their homes have a higher probability of dying BY their own gun--either by homicide or suicide. "Between October 2004 and the end of 2016, adults in the state who didn’t own a gun but took up residence with someone who did were much more likely to die a violent death than people in households without a handgun, researchers from Stanford University found.

Those who lived with a handgun owner were almost twice as likely to die by homicide as their neighbors without guns, the researchers found. More specifically, adults who lived with the owner of a handgun were almost three times more likely to be killed with a firearm than Californians in households where no handguns were present." https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2022-04-04/california-adults-who-live-with-a-gun-owner-face-twice-the-risk-of-death-by-homicide https://www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000422/11-facts-about-gun-violence-in-the-united-states

So, you don't think governments have been hijacked and are in war against their own citizens?

The Americans who have been purchasing 20 million guns a year might disagree...

I personally agree with those who believe that a hunting gun is sufficient for the currently-possible modes of guerilla warfare, but an AR might come in handy once the zombies are coming! :D

Not sure which one to expect first, but I would vouch for the zombies! :)

There's a good reason why an AR15 is a weapon of choice. And of COURSE it's something I need; it's something to have at my immediate disposal, in the event that some other brainwashed imbecile should turn up, presuming to inform me of what OTHER inalienable rights I don't need. I might also add that the dubious twaddle that you're presenting to advance your half baked argument is every bit as questionable as it is fatuous. But it is nonetheless quite effective in its ability to persuade intellectually disingenuous snots such as your sorry self to gobble it right up and subsequently regurgitate it whenever your need to feel important arises. You've had your say, now finish your slop serving of Stupid Flakes and leave the discourse to the adults in the room, Nancy Boy.

Nancy boy? Lol…How droll.

Look “Desperately Seeking Manhood,” a couple of points.

First, anytime someone says leave the conversation to "the adults" you know they're the child in the room...

Second, performing coitus on a thesaurus and smearing the result all over a page does not make you erudite (that means smart, lil Timmy) It just reveals your desperation to be thought relevant & finally be perceived by someone as having gravitas. Stop trying to sound like the smartest cat in the room and speak to the issue or feel free to crawl back into your basement and play your little keyboard-warrior games. You boorish, angry lil basement-dweller…NONE of Us are in need of your lexicological largess. That said, how about I provide the opportunity for you to spooge all over the page again?

BUT ONLY IF you can tell us all exactly where in that tiny timtim Timm-y mind of yours do you draw the line on the 2nd amendment right to bear arms?

Bazooka?

RPG?

Javelin?

SAM?

APC?

Tank?

Like the guy suggested below…A-10 Warthog?

How about an F-22 Raptor?

How about an F-35?

How about A NUCLEAR WEAPON?

Just exactly where does Scalia's constitutional lie end in that warped lil mind?

Just exactly what arms—IF any--are you NOT allowed to bear?

You know what I expect from you lil man?

I expect you to either vaporize or to come back & puke a thesaurus all over the page again whilst saying nothing, except perhaps attack me again. You certainly won't answer the question.

So, tim tim...prove me wrong…WHERE’S THE LINE?

"First, anytime someone says leave the conversation to "the adults" you know they're the child in the room..." Oh, you keep track of such occurrences, do you? How else could you discern that they do/mean it every time? As far as your list of weapons are any concern of my own, if a government stooge is good enough to have those at their disposal, so is the private citizen, and for reasons most apparent. "where in that tiny timtim Timm-y mind of yours..." Do go on, tell us all more about the adult in the room.
