Assault Weapon Ban Expired !
If you banned all weapons but hunting firearms, then of course people would want to ban those also. And if all law abiding citizens didn't have guns, because they were illegal, then who would have them then? Maybe the people who don't obey the laws??? hmmm Well if you knew what a flash supressor was, then you would know that hiding the flash is not the purpose of one. You can't hide the flash of any firearm in the dark. A flash supressor directs the flash forward, so the shooter is not blinded by the flash. Like a camera flash blind. The ban was first introduced by ignorant people like you who banned cosmetic features of firearms. If you don't like guns that's your opinion, but I sure hope this country is never lead by people with your opinion wanting to take my firarms away. I also hope that you never have a situation where you'd need to use your shotgun or your baseball bat. But what gives people like you the right to say I can't use what I want to protect myself and my family? I'm sorry but my family comes before your opinion of what is right and wrong in this world.

I'm all for hunting, I'm all for protecting your family, but do you really need a semi automatic weapon to do it? What's wrong with a regular hand gun? Semi automatic weapons should only be used by the military. I doubt that your home is going to be invaded by 30 or 40 robbers at a time. Unless your like Torog, who thinks a group of Muslims is coming for him, because we all know that when terrorists want to attack America's intelligence, they'll go straight for some guy in Texas. After that, they'll head to another real threat, a trailer park in Arkansas....

Yup,with crackheads and meth heads and those on pcp,a semi-auto in a large caliber,is a good thing to have handy,because anything less than a head shot-may not stop them. Ever hear of home invasion robberies ? It usually consists of several sob's coming in at the same time..in that instance,it is usually best to have all the firepower you can muster.
I don't believe that a group of muslims ,is coming for me,although,if they found out that my girlfriend is Jewish,they just might.
The military,prefers to have real assault weapons,which are select-fire,with single,semi and auto fire selectability..the Founding Fathers,believed that the citizenry should be equivocably armed as the military,so that we are capable of reserving the in-alienable right to alter or abolish our goverment,as we see fit.
I'm not advocating violence,but I do believe in the in-alienable right to self-defense,those who don't-are not citizens,they are subjects and sheeple.

I don't use my assault rifles for home defense. I have them because I like shooting them. Who has the right to say I can't arm myself with what I choose? I have no right to say what someone can or cannot use to protect themselves. The assault weapons ban was the most misunderstood firearm law ever. It did absolutely nothing at all except increase prices on some ammo and firearms. That is it. If you think it really did anything and actually stopped these weapons from being purchased then you are gravely misinformed. All my assault weapons were purchased legally during the ban! Now I will be able to put some minor cosmetics on them, but they are still the same firearms. There are plenty of semi-auto weapons used in hunting and for home defense also, that were not even on the ban. Why use a baseball bat, that is excessive force, just use a broomstick. That is pretty much the argument I am hearing. You have the right to your beliefs and the right to not arm yourselfs, but don't interfer with other people's rights.

Gun Control Means Being Able to Hit your Target
http://www.badnarik.org/Issues/GunControl.php
If I have a "hot button" issue, this is definitely it. Don't even THINK about taking my guns! My rights are not negotiable, and I am totally unwilling to compromise when it comes to the Second Amendment.
Let me reiterate an axiom of my philosophy. Rights and privileges are polar opposites. A right is something that I can do without asking. A privilege is something that a higher authority allows me to do. It is utter nonsense for us to accept government permits in order to exercise an inalienable right. Allow me to point out some fallacies in the arguments frequently used by the anti-gun movement.
First, it is impossible for the Second Amendment to confer a "community right", because communities HAVE no rights. Individuals are real. Communities are abstract concepts. You can have individuals without communities, but you cannot have communities without individuals. Ergo, individuals must come first, and only the individuals that make up a community can have rights.
Second, the phrase "well regulated militia" is frequently misconstrued to mean:
a) lots of government regulations; and,
b) only the National Guard is allowed to carry guns.
It is necessary to understand the definitions common in America during the time of our war for independence. "Well regulated" used to mean "well prepared". Every man was expected to have a rifle, one pound of gun powder, and sixteen balls for his weapon. He was also expected to be ready to USE that rifle within sixty seconds of the alarm being sounded. Hence the term "minute man".
It is disingenuous for anyone to promote the argument that "militia" refers only to the National Guard in light of the fact that the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791, and the National Guard wasn't formed until the early 1900's. This argument is totally without merit, unless you want to imply that our founding fathers were able to predict the future.
I sincerely believe that statistical evidence supports the idea that crime increases exponentially wherever gun control is instituted as the governing policy. Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have the strictest gun control policies in the United States. The cities with the highest murder rates are Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. It doesn't take a PhD to be able to draw the proper conclusion from this evidence. England and Australia have recently instituted strict gun control measures, and both countries have seen the statistics on violent crime quadruple. In contrast, I am told that the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a municipal ordinance that requires homeowners to have a firearm available. Home invasions have dropped to less than 10% of their original rate, indicating to me that criminals value their lives more than they value your property.
I have no doubt that members of the anti-gun crowd would be happy to offer statistical data which appears to contradict the numbers I have just mentioned. Even if they could, their alternate statistics are not enough authority to strip me of my inalienable right to keep and bear arms. My rights are non-negotiable. I don't care if someone else doesn't like it. I don't care if they toss and turn at night, anxiously worried about what I might do with my firearm. My rights are not predicated on whether or not you LIKE what I'm doing. You only have a complaint when I present a "clear and present danger", which is not the case if I have my firearm in a holster.
Repealing unconstitutional gun control laws will be one of my first priorities as President of the United States.
I'm Michael Badnarik, Libertarian for President. I ask the tough questions---to give you answers that really work!

What you think and what is fact are two different things. If you look at crime data and surveys you will find that over 80% of firearms used in criminal activity are handguns
Oooooh sawleaf you are cold as ice. Maybe because you couldn't buy them during the ban is why they used other weapons. You're saying that you could still buy them during the ban but you'd have to go to alot more trouble and risk getting caught with an illegal weapon. Even tho in the ghetto there are some illegal guns. Even with several SOB's coming at you, you could still take them out with a shotgun or a light pistol quickly, but now its more likely that those SOB's have the assult weapons too, seems more like a change for the worse because you're more likley to catch your daughter, son, wife, or dog with a stray bullet. Dude you're a redneck you should know it's not that hard to get a headshot.

[QUOTE=Sedater18]The military, the swat team, and the police?QUOTE]
If a head shot is so easy, why would the swat team and police need semi-auto, and even full auto weapons? If all law abiding people gave up their guns, why would the police need fully automatic weapons? I'll tell ya why, because like now with all the laws against guns, criminals still have guns. As with the drug war, prohibition only creats more crime, not less. The more you prohibit, the bigger the black market gets. Violence levels follow right along with that. Gun laws are creating more violence then they are trying to get rid of.
