America's guarantee to its peoples God Given Right to have weapons has never been about dangerous animals. Its always been about overthrowing and executing dangerous politicians.Thats not correct. There were weapons that fired multiple rounds in development back then and the founders were well aware of them. The most important concept to remember tho is that the founders believed in the peoples ability to overthrow a tyrannical government FIRST! I understand your country is different and thats perfectly fine. However, the founders ALWAYS intended the government be in fear of the people and they said so!Thats what happens when you're a democRAT who talks about banning guns your entire campaign. Thats resulted in 9mm ammo going from $0.34/round to $0.80/round.
Gun and ammunition sales are booming as firearm background checks surge, and the CEO of Vista Outdoor says millennials and women are leading the charge.
In 2020, the FBI processed a record 39.7 million firearm background checks - the most of any year since the agency started recording the data. This year, data indicates there could be another record set, with firearm background checks up over 30% from this time last year.
Thanks cho. Now we know who to blame for next month's mass shootings. Oh wait, it's the dems leading this charge. NM..
That train is never late. The gun manufacturers are thrilled a Democrat is in the White House. Cha-ching!!!
The hard truth is Americas founders stated we have the right and moral obligation to overthrow a tyrannical government and the God given right to own the weapons to do so.
American founders weren't agreeing to semi automatics though. They couldn't see the future where pizza-face kids could mow down ordinary people going about their regular ordinary lives.
I understand America's fears and the need for semi rifles. Hundreds of years (before civilization ) living in a place with Indians, bears and big cats, and the idea of owning guns was for self defence. Oz doesn't have man eating large animals like that although abo were spear chuckers. The only place we really need them now is in our, "top end" against salt water crocodiles. I saw these two bastards trying to fix something in a hip height flood on TV, one was doing the fixing and the other was standing guard very nervously with a single shot rifle, cursing our gun laws. He had a point. He didn't stand a chance against a salty with his pissy single shot rifle.
This may put it into perspective:
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
Lokmeer...if you lived in China , Russia or Turkey or an equivalent authoritarian dictatorship and you merely 'joked' about overthrowing your government, they'd throw your ass in the slammer & then force you to do hard time performing prison labor.
You ought to be grateful you live in a country which allows freedom of expression, because 90% of the world aint run like that. Even many democaracies might flag your comments & next thing ya know, the police would show up at your front door demanding all your weapons.
Places like China would track your IP address, likely raid your farm take all your weapons away from you. In this regard Putin's Russia aint too far behind, Bud.
