Take it up with the US government. After all, I pointed out that this was probably their logic for why you can't do these things.
Also, like I said, it's a matter of degrees. Just like it's easier to buy a black powder rifle for civil war re-enactments or deer hunting than it is to buy a pistol than it is to get a CPL than it is to buy a fully automatic rifle than it is to own an operational tank than it is to own your own personal nuclear device. Just because I don't think that there's any problem with a law-abiding citizen owning a pistol and taking a CPL class so that he can carry it to defend himself and his family (and maybe his property) doesn't mean I think it's ok for him to own a nuke.
Oh hey wait, I also already talked about that too: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...&postcount=163 |
I guess we disagree on what degree it should be then. No offense to the founding fathers, but the 2nd amendment is so poorly written compared to the rest.. i mean they should know that "arms" would not always be swords and mousquets like in the 18th century. Who knows what "arms" is gonna be in the next 2 or 3 centuries ?
Props to you for arguing without being an asshole, it gets rare in these areas.
To the 2 nazi-wannabe: a tank without his 105mm canon and shells is not a weapon, idiots. Nukes aren't available to the public ? that doesn't mean it can't be. There's already private rocket launching business, so it must not be that pricey to make a rocket with a nuke.. if a 3rd world country like Pakistan can do it, why can't the hard working regular-joe donald trump (lol) get his own ? for his own safety, of course. Arguments based on "hurr it's too pricey" are laughable in the wealthiest country in the world.
As a conclusion, i should say that i don't really care, i'm not even an american citizen, so it doesn't even concerns me. It concerns me when i see some of you saying that if europeans had the same guns laws as the usa, we would be safer. Saying that is just denying the reality of the numbers. I have literally 4 times more chances to get killed in the usa than in france. I also think that the usa will change their gun laws at some point. I don't think it's gonna be soon, but it's gonna happen at some point.. just like you're gonna change on death penalty and abortion (way sooner for these).
Just my 2 cents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
