Oh my bad, I didn't think the last sentence needed a whole lot of context. It's pretty self contained. My apologies if I completely misread that.Hoss said:BrazosDog02 said:Quote:
I can't think of a good reason for anyone to need to shoot full auto. Unless you're laying down cover fire or shooting into a large crowd of people or animals, it's wasteful, ineffective and in many cases even dangerous. I'm okay with the fact that you can't just go buy a full auto gun off the shelf.
I can't think of any good reason to buy a 6.5CM or .300 BLK and think it fills a niche and problem that doesn't exist. I also think that having my AR15 is largely a giant waste of money and resources that produces no useful advantage over any other weapon I own. I think bump stocks are ******ed and a great way to burn up a lot of ammo and do it without any accuracy. And I think YOU are completely wrong. I am NOT ok with not being able to own fully auto weapons. I am not OK with knowing my government has better weapons availability than I do. And I think that if you want to own AR15's and take out a second mortgage to do it AND have multiple weapons in the calibers I listed above, then you, by all means, should be able to do exactly that. I also think you should be able to waste your money and ammo with a bump stock.
My opinion of what YOU can do is of zero consequence to anyone else. You are missing the entire point here.
We should not, under any circumstances, support or generate legislation 'just to appease'. We are readily admitting we will give up rights for no other reason than to make someone else feel better.
Thats not cool.
Speaking of missing the point, you took a portion of what I said...quoted it out of context...and completely ignored the actual "point" of my post.
If you'll actually go read what I said, you'll see that I don't support this legistration either.

Mature. Perfect example as to why we push those in the middle away that we should instead be influencing.
Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen anyone say anything should be banned. We're discussing them on their merit. Name calling doesn't prove your point.

You are right. My post was ****ty and dicky. I realize that, and it's not even your fault, frankly. But this is exactly the point I have been trying to hammer home. The lines and side for this argument are now at a point where they are very black and white to me. You are either fully on one side or not. I hear people every day start out a conversation with "I own an AR, but...." And right there, it shows the fragmentation of our stance.

And there you have it. The reason we'll lose everything in the end. We can't articulate our stance intelligently, so we alienate everyone. People like you think you're the gold standard for pro 2nd amendment, but you really do more harm than good.
I've never voted anything other than conservative and oppose any anti 2nd amendment legislation. If we aren't on the same side, what side are you on?

I wasn't advocating for anything, just pointing out that your argument is not sound. You obviously don't agree with any form of gun regulation at all and that's fine, just state that instead of trying to pretend that the point of the device is not to increase the rate of fire.You may be the first person to ever call me a lib, I'm very far from it.BreNayPop said:

I even had someone tell me that we will eventually lose the 2ns altogether because of this. And I think that is probably right as well. To that I say, great...then I have nothing to lose now. Im digging in, hard lining.
My argument is sound. I do agree with some forms of gun control- many of which are in place now (where did I say I didn't agree with any gun control?). Why are you switching to "device is not to increase the rate of fire" when that is exactly the point of my argument against calling something a 'full auto immitator'. Full auto is one trigger pull, one action, results in multiple projectiles down the barrel. If you wish to limit rate of fire, which is my point, you must maintain what is a maximum rate of fire acceptible. When someone breaks into your house and you empty your mag in under 1 second fearing for your life, that is apparently full auto for you... when someone like Jerry Miculek can pull his trigger just as fast as full auto, that is to be banned according to you. It allows PERCEPTION OF SPEED, not actual mechanics of the gun itself to become outlawed/illegal- which will be abused against good and legal gun owners- and opens the door to other possibilities like mag limits which has nothing to do with crime prevention, rather increased govt control over citizens. It is definitely a "feels bad" argument rather than a logical argument- thus the lib moniker...1939 said:I wasn't advocating for anything, just pointing out that your argument is not sound.

I'm not that clueless, I know that having a bump stock does not make it the same as a full auto, but it is closer than if you didn't have one. I would say that the maximum rate of fire is how fast you can pull the trigger with your finger without using a device that helps you do that. I also understand that people are worried about a slippery slope, but if they move toward more restrictive laws those can always be debated, banning a bump stock or similar device is not going to cover magazine sizes unless that is included in the law, at which point I would be against it.BreNayPop said:My argument is sound.

Schmellba,
That's because I've stopped reading your long condescending rants. You are a wealth of knowledge on this board, but the second you step on the soap box, I check out.
It always leads to this though. The debate is predictable as sunrise and sunset - let's start with banning something "stupid" and "pointless". Then what is defined as "stupid" and "pointless" seems to always have mission creep - it expands from bump stocks to flash hiders to having to have bullet buttons to those shoulder things that go up. It never stops. It's always "just one more thing". And it only applies to guns, which are among the bottom of things that we should be worrying about if saving lives is the real objective.1939 said:I'm not that clueless, I know that having a bump stock does not make it the same as a full auto, but it is closer than if you didn't have one.

So if you go out and pick up a dude cause you wanna explore the other side and you get donked, only it turns out to be a chick with a strap-on, it doesn't matter, right? She got the job done.
If those financial institutions decide to go that route, they will undoubtedly lose business from gun rights supporters as they should. That will impact their investors who should be up in arms about such ignorant business decisions. If they do so, I hope the gun grabbers invest in their stock and lose their ass. You have to be unbelievably stupid and completely ignorant of facts, not to mention a disgusting human being to think that gun control is a good idea.bigtruckguy3500 said:
