"Aren’t armor piercing bullets already banned"

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think that is only new production sales. I have 3 unopened spam cans of the stuff in .308, that's 1620 rounds if I'm remembering correctly. It's buried in a pile I'm not to enthusiastic about digging through, but I known it's in there somewhere... I just haven't seen it in a couple of decades.

True, I don't need an assault rifle.

I need a 2nd Amendment rifle.

Wow. This beautiful union that President Lincoln fought so hard to preserve may be coming to an end soon...

Don’t look now but there’s not much union left. We are anything but united.

Why does my government require hollow point bullets which are not even allowed by the Geneva Convention?

The soldier smells like a plant.

Everything for the cause.

I don’t own an assault weapon. Maybe a few thousand Americans own actual assault weapons. But the bad guys do, and that creates a need for the good guys to match them.

If we could just get the gangs, the drug traders, the government alphabet agencies, the Chinese and the Muslims to discard their automatic weapons, we wouldn’t need all this citizen firepower.

Hey Leon!

How many legs does a cow have?

Four, you say?

Well, let’s call the cow’s tail a leg.

Now, how many legs does that cow have?

NO! You damn idiot!
Calling the tail a leg doesn’t make it one!

The “don’t need” argument is quite a mixture of ignorance and effrontery.

The notion that “I can’t think of a legitimate reason to own a semi-automatic firearm, therefore no such reason exists” is grotesquely illogical.

The notion that “I have a right to have my preferences and beliefs about other people’s needs—even the needs of people I don’t know—imposed upon all people by force” is arrogance at its worst.

I’ve been duck hunting since I was 10-years-old.

I wonder if somebody can fact-check that. It seems that every friggin' anti-gunner in the country is a "lifelong hunter". It's a wonder that there are any game animals left alive in this country.

I agree. The country has already divided into producers and takers. A conflict appears to be inevitable.

Without my semi-automatic rifle what will I use to protect myself from the Government?

“I need a 2nd Amendment rifle”

Thanks very much for reminding me of that term. It was popular during the 2000 campaign when Gore/Bradley wanted national licensing & registration.

BTW, nice Kalashnikov. I’m an `AK snob’.

I didn't know anyone had used the phrase before. It's fitting.

I wish I had any AK variant but that one above would be fantastic. I hate to even
think how much one like that would cost now ... if you could find one for sale.

When the administration moves on to banning SUVs again, panetta will be referring to them as “assault vehicles.”

It’s very offensive, that the Sec. of Defense would take a position against the Bill of Rights, while talking to our troops. Panetta should be fired immediately.

I would need them if the bad guys were wearing armor.

Every tool has its purpose. I buy tools either because I need to do what they can do OR because I think they are cool.

I might ask, why does Panetta NEED to be Defense Secretary?

“But for the life of me, I don’t know why the hell people have to have an assault weapon.”

Probably because of either the astounding ignorance of public officials or because our government has been taken over by G*D* commies.

Why does DHS need 1.6 billion rounds of critical defense ammo? I think that answers Panetta’s question.

Homosexuals don't need to get married.

Women don't need abortions.

Police departments don't need armored vehicles.

Congress critters don't need separate health care plans or lifetime retirement pay.

Americans don't need the Federal government.
