Serious question from a Scottish lass about American gun control?
Ok so I agree that American citizens should have the right to bear arms if they wish, what I can't understand is how anybody can buy a machine gun style gun or why it's allowed? Surely the way to solve the argument is better gun control and a restriction on what type of gun' members of the public can buy? surely possessing a handgun is enough firearm to protect yourself and immediate others?

This is a genuine request for information. In the UK the argument that is projected is a straight out ban on guns or not! With not much coverage of any compromised arguments.

Thanks to GLP I have the resources to root out this info for myself.

Many are ok with an assault weapons ban, but others think it's a slippery slope.

It is an Unalienable Right, you can understand that right?

Every male American from 16 to 45 are to be Armed with military grade Arms to protect from insurrection, Tyranny, and/or foreign invasion. Still understanding?

This is the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution.

Do you get it now?
Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.

You know how Scotland use to be it's own nation until the English took your weapons away, slaughtered those who would not comply, and subjugated the rest?

That's why.

A lot has changed on a technology level in the past couple of hundred years, but the basic motivations of governments has not.

Re: Serious question from a Scottish lass about American gun control?
What I don't understand is how people can be so dense. The AR-15 like many guns you don't hear about are our best tools to fight an oppressive government. I don't know why that isn't clear to people. Don't you find it weird that they ALWAYS use the same fucking gun out of thousands you can chose from they always pick an AR-15 because it pushes an agenda and hammers the image home. Our government are complete accomplices to allowing these people into our country. Does anyone for a second truly believe these crooked politicians have the best interest of the public at heart? Of course not they want our guns because you cant fully oppress or indoctrinate a country that is so well armed into the new world order. They start small with little regulations and bans and chip away little by little until its gone. Death by 1000 cuts which is why we cant give them an inch. Look at history the ONLY people to ever go for gun rights have been tyrants.

Re: Serious question from a Scottish lass about American gun control?
Dear Lass,


I own an AR15. I also own an M1 Garand from WWII era. I also own a Chinese SKS.


They are all semi automatic weapons. THE M1 holds 5 bullets. The SKS can hold about 9.


The AR magazines I have hold 30.


None of them are machine guns. They are called "semi" automatic. You shoot and the rifle loads the next round. Then you have to pull the trigger again and it shoots.


They are not machine guns. Your press is lying to you.


Look we don't have a history of lords in castles ruling over all the UNARMED serfs below.

History repeats endlessly. Those with weapons will lord it over those without.

Just wait till this world wide currency bubble really pops and things get very very tough again, world wide.


You may just wish you had a "semi" like I do.


Anyway darling, the GUN didn't kill anyone.


In this country the majority of murders are committed by 12% of the population.


I'll go for disarming most of them.


I don't blame the gun, I blame the democrats and leftists that have brought so much hatred to this country.

Even if they did ban semi automatic carbines. There would be 5 million AR15s still in the hands of Americans. That doesn't count the other carbine style rifles we have.

They would try to confiscate these weapons, and all hell would break loose. I for one would not give them up, and I know most gun owners wouldn't either.

Re: Serious question from a Scottish lass about American gun control?
the semi autos sol;d do not fit the definition for assault rifle, shows what ignorant Politicians and media proclaim, I was in LE when winchester made a round called the black talon, the media called it the cop killer, was to expand like two saw blades and penetrate body armour, the truth is, from the FBI ballistics reports we as LE see, the black talon was a worthless round, so the politicians and the media in their normal ignorant state, over played the abilities of the round, Winchester pulled it off the markets on their own accord, shows how stupid the media and the politicians are, there were over 20 rounds that did a better job and not a word said about that.

Re: Serious question from a Scottish lass about American gun control?
In a country that sends its young men and women (and drones) all around the world to kill any and everyone that one man on a throne decides must die, do you really wonder why we feel the need to be armed?
He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect towards others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself.

The US government is supposed to adhere to the Constitution. The constitution is a document that says what laws the government is allowed to make. The Second Amendment says "Arms". It doesn't say "handguns, except in places that serve liquor."

First off, you can't purchase a fully automatic weapon in America unless you have a certain license that cost many thousands of dollars and has a ridiculously stringent application process. So nobody but dealers owns fully automatic weapons.
That means, most people own semi-automatic weapons, which means you have to squeeze the trigger once for every round fired. Much like a revolver used in the old west days.

The main difference is the appearance of the weapons. Semi-automatic weapon look exactly like fully automatic weapons. And they semi-automatic weapons typically hold more rounds per clip than a revolver.

And to the main point, No law abiding citizen owns weapons for evil intent. We own them because we are fearful of the future and what may come our way someday that is beyond the control of our government. They are an uncashed insurance policy and every law abiding citizen, wants them to stay uncashed. In the event that society collapses or portions of it do, say during a natural catastrophe, and we have no help from our government, we at least have some way to defend our loved ones from the evil in this world.

how can citizens revolt against the govt if they do not have access to own weapons which would enable such an uprising, if an uprising / revolt is needed????

enabling citizens with the power to revolt is the basis of the 2nd amendment. HELLO.

If they were legal, I would pick a machine gun myself I a woman and I can not see as well as I used to, so a machine gun would protect me good enough even those it would not normally be used for protection I could mount it better than my bazooka.

Not exactly. A citizen who submits to a background check and has 10 fingers printed and pays a $200 tax stamp (per application) can legally own select fire firearms. The citizens that do own them are some of the most respectable level people you can meet, they aren't the ones to worry about, but they're the ones who are demonized by the libterd media.
