POLITICAL THREAD

An AR 15 isn’t a very powerful rifle, it’s round is a .223, which to put in perspective is the smallest legal size round to deer hunt with in KY.
It’s detriment is that it looks like a military style rifle. In a nutshell that’s why it’s a popular rifle.
Best position I've ever seen USSCJ RGB ever take:
"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks colleges and universities are violating the due process rights of students facing sexual misconduct charges."
"Ginsburg: Well, that must not be ignored and it goes beyond sexual harassment. The person who is accused has a right to defend herself or himself, and we certainly should not lose sight of that. Recognizing that these are complaints that should be heard. There's been criticism of some college codes of conduct for not giving the accused person a fair opportunity to be heard, and that's one of the basic tenets of our system, as you know, everyone deserves a fair hearing.
Rosen: Are some of those criticisms of the college codes valid?
Ginsburg: Do I think they are? Yes."
She's finally woke even though she's nearly dead.

Feel the need to ask it? It seems pretty relevant to a discussion/debate that only becomes more and more divisive after every incident involving the type of weapon, no? I was looking for an answer with more substance than "because it's our Constitutional right" but perhaps I'm asking in the wrong place. I felt the need to ask it because like I said, I really don't know much about guns. There is a reason to own a Honda Pilot over a Honda Civic if you have a larger family. Just like there is a benefit to owning a Ford Focus over a Ford Explorer if your job requires you to be on the road all day and you need better gas mileage. So when it comes to firearms I just assume that there is a benefit in buying a more powerful weapon because it serves a purpose and a function for someone who uses guns as part of their lifestyle.
Basically, you can get an easy to use, quality AR that holds 30 rds and costs less than a glock pistol.
And believe it or not, this may sound crazy, but people buy guns to protect their family and property. Most people don't leave the house with their weapons. They are there just in case. Youtube people defending their homes from bad guys. Happens almost every damn day.
Ha not quite. That would require msm holding them accountable for obviously inconsistent idealogies
Then yes, you probably are in the wrong place. That is the only necessary answer.
I don't have to justify to you why I need to say the things that are protected under the Constitution. I don't have to justify to you why I need to exercise my right to vote a certain way under the Constitution. I don't have to justify why I need to be free from illegal searches and seizures as protected under the Constitution.
I don't have to justify to you why I need to exercise my 2nd Amendment right any way I see fit.
It has absolutely nothing to do with need. It's a natural right you're born with and you're free to exercise as you so choose.
He is probably drunk again. Freaking Canadians can't hold their booze either.
So then, you understand the benefit of having 30rds in a rifle opposed to 10? And a 5.56 is not anything as powerful as the hunting rifles your buddies use....which you somehow know nothing about even though you hang out with guys with safe fulls, and have been shooting 10 times. You're playing dumb on purpose, but anyway...
Often times, bad guys don't come alone. Let's say 3 guys are coming inside your home, you're calling the cops who will be there eventually, but in the meantime, what are you going to do?
that's a question for you: do have a self defense plan if someone comes for your shit?
Only Marches I have been on start with "FORWARD!" But the only March I really like is "Madness!"
I would cry but then, go after the one/one's that did it and not blame the gun.
Top 1 worst. He really was an evil SOB. What he did with the FBI and DOJ are borderline unforgivable.
I do - "here, take whatever you want. I've got insurance."
Can you explain how the above situation would play out?
You're sitting in the living room watching TV with the wife. The kids are in bed in 2 different rooms. Three guys storm into your house, heavily armed. What do you do? Run as fast as you can for your gun safe? Or have you got your AR sitting on the coffee table?
My circle of "friends" (the actual people I see outside of work) is diverse, 2 African Americans, 2 Mexican Americans, 1 Asian American, 1 Native American. Of all of these only 2 voted Trump. Me and the Asian American. However, we do on occasion discuss politics and really don't get heated in our discussions. All but 1 served with me in the military and it is because of that we respect each others opinions and understand where each is coming from.
I feel so sorry for what these kids went through, it really is a crying shame that they can't see that they are being used. The dems and MSM just want to use them to attack Trump. They could actually care less about those kids.
I know Obama isn't the most popular guy in these parts, but he hit the nail on the head when he said try talking to someone in real life instead of arguing with someone on the internet. I'd guess that the vast majority of us on this board, if we were introduced in real life, would probably enjoy each other's company and spend most of our time talking about things far removed from politics - and if we did get into them, it would be much more civilized than what happens anonymously on a message board.
I'd even bring some killer bourbon to said gathering

I mean, I don't have a dog in this fight, but isn't that the very definition of an erosion of rights?
I've said before that I'm not the biggest Shapiro fan but this was a great tweet.
Well, a place where the leader thinks makind is sexist & feels free to correct a citizen for using the term is pretty socialist imo.
That's a lib thing too. They were largely behind the idea/movement that just because you're unstable that you don't need to be locked up because you have rights too. Net, far fewer in mental institutions today than 30-50 years ago.
So you think socialism means how a country's leadership feels about male/female verbiage?
The internet has lots of great info and lots of not so great info. You might want to spend some time researching the former.
There's no telling. They might want your wife since you're so accommodating. You have no clue.
At the very least, since you will have advanced warning before they make it inside your house, you would tell your kids and wife to go to a bedroom and lock the door, call 911, etc. Then, you have no control. Good luck.
In my case, I would run to my room and I'm not leaving that room. They're not coming down the hall. I have control of that.
First, three dogs alert before they get in. 11 guns positioned in various rooms in the house including an AR15, a Mossberg Flex 590 Tactical 12 Gauge shotgun and various pistols loaded but not chambered. Chances are, I start shooting before they get through the door.
i keep a .45 on the table beside my recliner.
i have another .45 in a Velocity gun safe in the coat closet near the front door.
criminals do not call ahead or advise you of their schedule, and i believe in being prepared.
That's a fair answer. Hunker down in one spot and keep everyone safe, let the possessions go. This makes sense.
Banning only the AR-15 is pointless and silly. There are more powerful and more dangerous firearms out there that are not even in the discussion.
The reason they're not in the discussion is because they lack the tactical look and they're not the ones being used in mass shootings. This is a clear sign that those leading this discussion are actually clueless and fear mongering.
In my opinion, I think what's going to happen, if anything happens, is background checks will get more aggressive and intrusive, making it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase a gun, while criminals continue to break the law and easily purchase them off of the black market.

I almost added to my post "unless you're warrior and you've got a gun within arms' reach in every position in the house
Define Assault Rifle and I will attempt to answer your question.
Just throwing this out there, but if Fergie really wants to apologize for butchering the National Anthem, then she should get naked for us all. Show us she really means it.
