Re: Gun control (your thoughts on one thread)

A couple of weeks ago, I drove over a car in a tank. The original plan was to fire a tank, but that tank was out of commission while my friend was in town for his birthday. We debated firing a howitzer, but decided on driving over a car.
Should I be allowed, without any type of background checks, training, licensing, fees, registration, etc., to buy a fully operational tank, and tank ammunition? Basically, go to a sporting goods store, buy a tank, some rounds, and maybe an artillery trailer too, to pull behind (two long-range explosive round firing guns is better than one, amirite?). Fifteen minutes, and money trading hands, and I have a tank, artillery, ammunition, and a dream.
Should someone who just served 30 years for murder be able to walk across the street from the prison to a mobile weapons truck, and buy whatever firearm they want, as easy as buying an ice-cream bar?
The vast (vast) majority of Americans, even the most ardent mis-interpreters of the 2nd Amendment believe in limitations to the “right to bear arms.” Very few would read the above, and think “Goht dam right people should be able to do that, cuz ‘Merica!” The gun control debate is constantly hijacked by bought politicians, and their cultists, with the majority of America left helplessly waiting for the next mass shooting, and “thoughts and prayers.” Almost everyone believes in limits, yet a subset of America allows limbic cultists to do their speaking for them, insinuating it’s only leftist who believe there should be common sense limitations and responsibility associated with owning firearms.
If for personal protection, you need more than a revolver (concealed) or shotgun (home), then I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors as a drug king pin. If you need more than a low-capacity repeating rifle for hunting, perhaps you need a different hobby. Maybe one that doesn’t require skill. If you want something simply because it gives you a gun boner, then be willing to go through steps for the privilege and responsibility of owning it.
I think guns are incredibly fun. I love shooting. Even with my intention tremors, I am a pretty decent shot. Give me an iron-sight .22, and a shovel to use as a standing tripod of sorts, and I’ll drop a sparrow from 100 yards easy-peasy. I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t use a shotgun for clearing jackrabbits from alfalfa fields. Basically, just pre-empting the “libtard just hates guns.”
Semi-auto shotguns are an absolute blast -- especially with a 10 round mag. Machine guns… well, they’re cool to fire, but incredibly overrated (in my opinion). The fun, excitement, prestige, and thrill of holding/owning/firing guns is tangible, and can be intoxicating. Everything else is mostly smoke and mirrors trying to justify that fun/excitement/thrill as being more important than the lives of others. You aren’t going to prevent another country from invading the US because you have 3 banana mags for your Savage. You aren’t going to win against the US military because you’ve got a custom painted P320. The home invader isn’t going to be less of a threat because you’ve got an AR-15 instead of a Mossberg 590.
Them’s my thoughts, anyways.
