You realize the guy I used as an example has pretty good qualifications too, right?

I kinda take offense to that. A mechanized 11B (infantry) is no parallel to draw with me. Hes no better qualified than the thousands of other Infantry soldiers the wear a blue cord. My guys and I are a different breed of animal all together.

[quote name='venomrx7' date='Jul 23 2005, 11:19 AM']Does anyone here acctually know why the right to own a gun exists in the first place?

To keep the king of england out of your backyard.
But since we got off on the RIGHT foot with england we really dont have any need to shoot at...our ally...back in the day, there was no real need to.
In recent times though, the law shouldve been amended considering england helped you out in the iraq thing.
(the previous was learned completely off the simpsons and not through any actual study of your fine constitutional law)

The 2nd ammendment was established so that if it became necessary the people of the country could forcefully overthrow the government if it becomes tyrranic and corrupt. If THAT government is the one regulating the peoples rights to arms, then wouldn't that leave them at an advantage against the people. THe people would effectively be left defenseless when the government goes corrupt (worse than it already has)

[quote name='yayer' date='Jul 23 2005, 12:46 PM']in that case.. we need more guns.. tanks.. jets and rockets.. and bears that shoot lazers from their eyes.

Meh. not really. If an overthrow was launched, I'd bet that about half of or more of the military would join the revolt. Its not gonna happen any time soon, but its a possibility if things keep going the way they are.

Anouther reason for the 2nd admendment is.... If any country decided they were going to invade the USA they would be nuts... Lets invade a country with a few hundred million snipers. Iraq is bad enough with the few they have, but there is no country in the world that could possibly invade the USA and survive even if they did take out our military.
Also the 5.56mm (.223) is an excellent hunting round for small game from dog size down and it is not illegal to hunt with it. It has good acuracy and range.
anouther fact is that when the Brady bill was passed gun sales in the USA went up 400%
How many criminals use assult rifles? very few...
Why do the criminals that use assult rifles kill so many? it's not because they are using an assult rifle... It's because they are wearing body armor and the cops can't take them down.

firearms still don't kill people, the person behind the trigger does...
The 2nd amendment does guarantee the right for American citizens to bear arms, and they dont mean the appendages swinging from either side of the torso.
Keep your politics away from my firearms and everything will be fine.
If not, the dime club says i'm a member because I can put 5 rounds inside the diameter of a dime at 300 yards, I doubt putting 1 in your chest at 100 yards will be hard.

I had a 7.62 mm mag that I could damn near do that with.
I could put the o out of a skoal can every time from ~275-300 (we shot across a field at the hunting lease I am a member of we don't have a set position. just wherever we set up)
I run down a balance about 5 skoal cans... however many are availiable at the time, and shoot away. Put at least part of the o our every single time. The scope that was on it came with it, and had no brand name on it or logos or anything. It had windage and everything though
I sold that gun for car money. I miss it pretty bad. It was ****** awesome.
