Just woke up from my 2 hour nap.. Feel better with a little sleep.. I would have slept longer but my dog Charlie decided it was a good idea to jump up on the bed and lick me in the face. Yuck!!!!!
And he was standing on me. All 70 pounds of him..
I am grateful he is not larger...
I am in agreement that civilians do not require or need rocket launchers, bazookas, and maybe a few other large weapons of destruction that military forces may carry in time of war.
In a civilian population we are nor at war and those type weapons were designed with only one purpose in mind. Kill enemy combatants and take out smaller pieces of equipment or disable tank treads .
I do not know if today's bazookas can actually explode a tank..
Anyway, imo, there is not a good reason for real military weapons to be in the hands of civilians. We see what gang members and thugs do with the weapons they get their hands on now. Do we think the outcomes if they got better and more lethal weaponry would be less and not more?
As I see it, leftists are always trying to define weapons that are military by the way they LOOK and NOT how they fire. One trigger pull, one round fired. That is a semi-automatic weapon. Period, end of discussion..
It matters NOT how it looks or appears. It is still a trigger squeeze to get one round to fire... No better than the average saturday night special..
But most dumbasses in Washington pretend they don't know the difference and so they call AR14 and AR 15 rifles assault weapons even though they are semi-automatic.
They are hung up on the way they look. Ultra modern and lightweight materials in some. Mine is heavy because it has a lot of real steel components which is what I wanted. To me it stabilizes the rifle more when firing.
Like any other firearm, can they be misused in a criminal's hands? Of course. And they, like saturday night specials, are sometimes used for the wrong purposes.
Do I trust ANY politician who is anti-gun and therefore, anti-constitution ? **** NO!
So Mr. Kennedy better himself abundantly clear about his real position on the 2nd amendment.
Hitler had the same approach that many of todays Democrats have.
FIRST they disarmed the people. Now the population could not fight back.. Game over... Tyrannical government is now in control and not much one can do about it.
THAT's why American gun owners should never surrender their weapons.. They own them legally. The Constitution protects our right to own them.
Its almost mostly DEMOCRATS that want to take them away from us. And Mr. Kennedy is another democrat. And he is not being clear about his support on the second amendment which he does not get the right to add his opinion to or change the meaning thereof. As does NO ONE else either.
IMO, one reason why many unfriendly nations would not think it is a good idea to try to invade the U.S. is not because of our military in uniform but because the civilian population is so heavily armed. And we know how to use the firearms we own.
Don't ya wonder how many million former military men and women there are in our population that are gun owners?
I'd love to know that number..
Anyway, imo, Mr. Kennedy needs to be a lot more clear about his real thoughts and intentions and intimating anything is not the same as stating it as an absolute position that he firmly believes. He is being a weasel...
