I think there's some pretty good stuff still in here.
Surprised to see this thread reopened. I feel like the mods should have left the responses of that guy threatening the wives and children of LEOs so everyone knows what type of "man" he is....just sayin.
Earlier, before the Mods locked this one up, I was going to say that that dude is the type that you see on the nightly news sooner or later. But then I read these comments and figured I would just get back to work.
you all have guns? Interesting.
I've seen that before and remembered it, because he was speaking from experience if I recall .....
I think I will leave this one alone!
It's really cute when you beat your chest and go all native but consider this.
The National Firearms Act was enacted in 1934. Before that it was perfectly legal for Joe Sixpack it own a full auto gun (Thompson submachine gun), a short barreled or short-stocked shotgun, or a smooth bored pistol. Smooth bored pistols were produced by various manufacturers, and were quiet common for "varmint control" - pistols that would shoot a small caliber shotshell.
Today most of the forum members have never seen a smooth bored pistol, held a sawed off shotgun or fired a Thompson sub-machine gun. When WW II started 10 years later, all of these weapons had been eliminated from general commerce, and the only ones commonly available were those registered with the government.
Despite fighting a world war with millions of automatic small arms, virtually none reached the United States. Same for the Korean War, and the Viet Nam War, where every soldier had a full auto weapon. None of these made their way back to the US and those that did were quickly confiscated.
So you can shout "live free or die" all you want to, but history says that when the ban comes, most people will surrender their guns one way or another. Look at Australia.
To paraphrase, "those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it".
The irony of all this is in the computer age, determining who has a gun and who should turn it in is so much easier than it was in 1935. Look just at this thread. You think the internet gives you any kind of anonymity? Check with Hillary Clinton about that.
