magley64 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 So your argument is that the ability to carry weapons should be predicated by your intelligence or job standing?That sounds...idiotic.No, my point was regarding the average intelligence of the public...It was in no way to be used as a limiting factor on your rights, but to point out that rights apply to everyone regardless of their intelligence.

Bad324 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 "legally obtained" is the part we're discussing here. the arbitrary line where the government says "no, that's not legal"now you're starting to figure it out when you go into all your crazy scenarios I prefer to get semantic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 let's define misuse (use for other than it's designed purpose)...what are assault weapons designed for?Assaulting. Or defense.So, then, assault by motor vehicle is OK..?. Shooting paper at the range is bad, since it is misuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Assaulting. Or defense.So, then, assault by motor vehicle is OK..?. Shooting paper at the range is bad, since it is misuse?Like vehicular manslaughter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fat2fly Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I gotta ask...What are we to do about guns in the hands of criminals?Outlaw them. I'm sure the criminals will happily surrender them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner75 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Outlaw them. I'm sure the criminals will happily surrender them.....Wait.. Then why are they criminals?

Pokey Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Wait.. Then why are they criminals?

Gunner75 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 True terminology is combat pistol. Every weapon can be used for combat, so to say that a Glock pistol is a combat pistol is a moot point. A derringer pistol can be used for combat.

CoolWhip Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I think the ability to defend yourself against criminals and a criminal government (were the need to arise) is a right not a privilege.

Never in history has a government used nuclear weapons against its own people. That would be counterproductive. When dictators like that get into power they only want to kill the people that disagree with them. They want power. Therefore, they need people and infrastructure to support that power.
