With the threat of an AWB coming up...

You need a hell of a whole lot more than small arms to fight a tyrannical government these days my friend. At the very least you need some equipment capable of defeating armor.

.......and drones.

[Fatass]

I love my 60.

[Nash B.]

Even with blanks, it was fun.

[Jimbo]

I love my 60.

Solid barg.

And if you have the cash, you can do that.

Yep, unfortunately at this juncture I am not in that position.

Of course, but I wont be greedy, I'll just man the 60.

And again...you don't need it. Just say you want it...and that there's not need in passing a law as an emotional reaction.

In technical terms, any rifle can be handled and used without a magazine (stop calling them 'clips' unless you're just wanting to ruffle feathers). Pull the bolt back, insert a round, release bolt, rinse and repeat.

However, semi-automatic firearms were created for a multitude of purposes all of which boil down to one specific point: reloading after every shot SUCKS. It takes time. For a target shooter, it messes up tempo and lets your semi-auto opponent post better times on the plate. For the hunter, it causes a delay that means missing a trophy buck that was the reason for $3K+ in deer lease/rifle/gear/stand/time etc. For the soldier, it causes a delay that can get him/her killed.

The problem is deciding where to draw the line. What number are you comfortable with regarding magazine capacity? Regardless, I'll pose a bit more of a Dirty Harry-type question (that oddly has a lot of merit considering the recent shooting sprees) ... Do you care if the psychopath leveling a gun at your kids has a 10 round magazine or a 30 round magazine?

It's purely semantics, and magazine capacity laws don't do jack shit.

If you want to bring your own interpretations into it, I need an m60, to protect myself against a tyrannical government, because the 2nd says so.

Hahahaha god damn you're a moron.

First, I guarantee you don't have the onions to stand up against anyone coming to take your shit. You're on a tuck your tail like a beat dog.

Second, you really think you have a chance at defending against the array of autonomous weaponry with you lack of a sack and an AR?

Im sure the same was said to our founding fathers when the "unbeatable" brittish army was coming. Or how about all these taliban members with beat up ass AK's, seems they have been holding back our militaries for quite some time.

You should deposit all of your savings in my bank account. You aren't currently using it, so you obviously have no "need" for it.

With the great logic spewing from his mouth, he probably doesn't have a savings with anything in it...

[Jimbo]

If need is the end all argument, you are going down the wrong road. Need has nothing to do with freedom and personal rights and responsibility. If you boil it down to the last common denominator on most national issues, our society doesn't actually need the bill of rights to survive, or our entire constitution for that matter, but it was not created based on (or to provide for) need.

99% of the shit in our lives we don't need. But the great country that we live in allows us to have our wants.

why bring race into this?

...

why don't we need it?
