What he meant was why cannot we own machine guns manufactured after 1986? Why was this amendment tacked onto the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986? Well the reason is because some lawmakers think that owning machine guns is evil. So they tacked on this amendment, to drive up the price of machine guns to the point that it keeps most people from owning them. As the supply of machine guns is not increasing, and the demand for them is. So the prices are sky high. $20,000 is a common price for many of them now, or even more. All because someone has decided that owning them is evil, and we want to discourage this ownership. Why? Why do we as a society want to do that? There is no good reason.
No not really, what I said was exactly what I meant to say. He just didn't read the quote or just read out of it what he wanted to read and shot from the hip hoping to hit something.
But what you wrote is correct about how the gubment will often times create an overly inflated commodity with their well intended one size fits all ideas for us peons to live by. This is exactly the main reason the framers gave us the 2 amendment in the first place. It was so that the people could have the ability to reign in these well intended know it all's and put them in their places. Sadly for us we have been too busy trying to scratch out a living, paying taxes and minding our own business to keep and eye on these people.
Politicians have gotten totally out of touch with the people. Once they spend 20, 30, 40 or more years in office they truly feel they know everything there is to know about everything and how
WE all should live and act where we go, how we get there. Just send us your money and we will take care of you.
It's not just the gun thing, it's everything we do, what we eat, drink, smoke or how we even heat our homes that they want to regulate. A little here a little there and no one ever notices until one day you find out you are some kind of a felon by just lighting your wood stove or drinking that 32 oz big gulp you got down at the 7-11.
I've heard the same ol argument many times and read it several times in this thread of how no one wants to take away your guns. How stupid of an argument is that?? Do you people really think the idiots in states like calif, NY, and a lot of the democrit controlled cities and DC don't want to see, not only the people in their state and cities but all of us as well stripped of our gun rights
that means all of them.
The liberal cess pool states and cities do this and get away with it because their democrit politicians have a willing mass of ill informed people that they can throw out a carrot here and there and a promise or two of how they will keep them safe and secure without any worries in the world. If it just wasn't for those bible toting, gun loving, neanderthals in all those other states we would all be one big happy family.:laughing: Yeah right!!
They didn't do this over night cause even some liberals like their guns. They just think they should be allowed to have them but everyone else is too stewpid' to to get out of bed in the morning let alone have a firearm. When we let these politicians stay in office 40 or 50 years they have a long time to shape the rest of us into the model they know is best. So they stomp on a few of the peoples rights along the way. No worries because as history over the past 60 or 70 years would show no body is paying attention anyway. They have been too busy doing their own thing to notice what has happened.
The best argument I can offer to support my idea on this is the fact that this country just voted an admitted and practiced socialist to the highest office of this land. The sad part is that even after they saw what he was the first go around they had to vote him in a second time just to see if what they saw was true. And.....if any of you have any fantasy that this king want a be would not like to erase the 2 amendment and a couple others all together then I know where some really nice swamp land is for sale really cheap.
