You don’t think it’s strange the BATFE had to make the rifle intentionally slam fire, by using too much lubrication and soft primers?

And what’s this about ‘absolutists’? You don’t believe the Second Amendment to be absolute?

Actually I do believe the 2A is absolute. It is appropriate for its time, before there were millions and millions of gangstas and drug addicts like we have now, and before automatic weapons and grenade launchers were even dreamed of. Second Amendment absolutists want every gun control law abolished so that they can own any type of weapon they want, just like the Revolutionary War era citizens could own any kind of firearm including cannons.

The absolutists conveniently ignore the unintended consequences of making every kind of weapon readily and cheaply available to the millions and millions of gangstas and druggies as well as themselves, no questions asked, no restrictions or regulations of any kind whatsoever.

I don't want to live in a Mad Max movie myself. Reality forces me to support a thorough background check and the same kind of tax stamp and registration procedure for automatic weapons and destructive devices. I do not support any other gun control laws. I just cannot accept every knuckle dragging gangsta zombie being able to walk into a gun store and carry out armloads of $50 MAC-10's and Uzi's, like everyone else wants to be able to do themselves.

I'm a firm believer in Unintended Consequences, and there is no other human activity that is as totally unregulated as the 2A absolutists want gun ownership to be.

Reality sucks.
