first, best, biggest!

So what? I’m an American and I have the right to be armed. Grenades are arms.

People like you are taking away my rights…..

I heard that some busybody leftists were able to amend the constitution to outlaw the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages.
I suspect we can expect the same epic results if they can do the same with guns.

^ It was at this moment I realized I owed the special needs community an apology. Is it still abuse if I didn't know he's handicapped?

Dude, stick with YouTube.

Facts and logic are not your strong suit….

What do you call an octopus with one eye?
An octopus.

Wrong! His name is Bob and he's a lovely octopus. Had dinner with him just last week. Ofcourse none of us would dream of pointing out the loss of his eye. He's a vet you know...

Geez Memorial Day was only two days ago and SOB is already making fun of vets.

So neither side is happy? That's successful negotiation. IMO, while not speaking for the entire gun rights community, we can manage with what's currently available federally. I fully welcome states and local governments to F off though. Restriction isn't doing anything for NY nor Chicago

In what way is the AR-15 overkill exactly?
Size and power of the round? Several handgun calibers are larger and do more damage, not to mention rifles.
Rate of fire? Semi automatic means one trigger pull, one bullet comes out, just like 90% of the firearms out there.
Or are you going with the "high capacity magazine" thing? AR15 again is not the only platform capable of 30rnd mags or more.

So continue to attack the platform you demonstrate having no real knowledge of. The one that, again, was responsible for only a piece of the 3% of firearm deaths in 2020. The one that, until the Pulse nightclub and Vegas incidents, wasn't even part of the worst mass murder in US history. That would be 9mm handguns at Va Tech FYI.

The bazooka thing is just stupid. A) You're responsible for every round that leaves the barrel and whatever damage it causes. B) Tactically moronic to blow up a heavy vehicle moving towards you at speed because of the explosion, the shrapnel, and the now flaming mass of metal that is still moving towards you and your family. Find cover ya dumbazz.

Your energy would be better served determining how to deal with the mental health issue that leads to this chit as opposed to trying to disarm gun owners, the vast majority of which are responsible with their weapons. Proof? Almost 400 million guns in the US, 40 million sold in 2020. 45k deaths in 2020. Leave the law abiding people alone

I don't disagree, but this topic triggers me

If you are looking for agreement that disallowing civilians to have high capacity semi-automatic guns saves lives, you have a lot of work to do. Other countries have great success with this. Uvalde is pure American exceptionalism.

A rifle that fires 45 rounds per minute, or much more with a bump stock, and can have 30+ round in the magazine is excessive in terms of civilian self defense. Unless of course self defense also means fighting a war. Does it? Bet you think it does.

The bazooka theory shows that insisting that weapons are never the issues, it is the criminal intent is fallacious. But it helps sell what many American want - any kind of weapon for anyone any time. Are you saying you could not reasonably handle a bazooka? No NRA patch for you!



Americans honestly don't care if allowing access to any level of truly dangerous weapons winds up killing people.

If a Bunch of kids get killed because some other kid decided to pop down to the store and arm himself like Rambo - well that is a fair price so that others to have their toys. And the security (?) of a genuine big boy bang bang.

Now tell me why one would "need" an AR-15.
seriously, aside from it's cool, fun or I am so scared that I think I need the best and badest to protect myself - what is the need?

Yes - I know it is already worth the risk and sacrifice of others.
We are Americans.

But why does anyone actually need these effin things?

No.

You may see guns and cars as the same thing. It is a false equivalence. I do not.

Cars have a clear benefit. Civilian guns not so much. Does a gun allow you to work? Will it save you if you need a quick ride to a hospital - or just need to pick up your kids?

All tools have a risk/benefit ratio. So you may have a hammer or steak knife, but not a machine gun or bazooka.

Guns largely have a singular purpose.

The reason we do not have bazookas is the risk/benefit ratio.

What is the benefit of the AR-15 with 30 rounds?

Do you know?

here's an article about effectiveness of gun controls laws...seems the restrictions on large capacity magazines can reduce the number of fatalities...otherwise, not so much...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/27/what-research-shows-effectiveness-gun-control-laws

Delta, I'll see your article stating the LCM restriction is effective at reducing casualties in mass shootings which by the way only accounted for a few hundred deaths out of the firearm death total, and raise you an article stating that the studies these arguments are based on are not well researched.

https://reason.com/video/2022/03/31/do-studies-show-gun-control-works-no/

I realize stating it the way I did sounds callous, but mass shootings, as horrific as they are, do not make up the bulk of the problem. I'm not opposed to reducing deaths in the country. I'm opposed to, say hypothetically, magazines restricted, then when that doesn't work, ban the AR-15s, then when that doesn't work, ban semi-automatics, then when that doesn't work, ban everything. This feels very much like the end goal, and it's why people fight every step.

I've read several times now where someone should not have been allowed to purchase a weapon, yet is able to due to a lack of reporting to the right agency. Enforce the laws that are already on the books before claiming they don't work.

Here is Texas you can buy anything you want - no background check. It’s called a private sale - just go to any guns show (they got ‘em all the time) and look for one of the private sellers.

Extra handy if you got a felony problem or are cray-cray.

God bless Texas.





Oh, and them kiddos too…








Ya know, guns is just like cars…
But without the license.

Is it magically legal for a felon to buy at a gun show?

Laws don’t stop evil bro.

That is illegal in California. All you have to do is check our results. Hasn’t been a single murder since we passed that.

I can easily tell you the value in having an AR. They're safer for the average person to use over any handgun. They are easier to handle, be accurate with and a lot harder to shoot yourself accidentally with. Took me longer to type this than it did to think of it.

There ya go thinking again. Freak!

Cars kill more people than AR-15's. By a YUGE margin, too.

While it pleases me to know that he chooses to exercise his constitutional right to own a gun, I am still troubled by the fact that he is using his personal value system to try to affect my decisions. Maybe Brewha owns guns that only hold 5 rounds, and therefore does not see any value in a 10, 20 or 30 round magazine. Maybe Brewha is a master sharpshooter and feels supremely confident in his ability to deal with any threat completely and decisively with only five rounds. Good for him. He is the only "him".

I am a really good shot with a pistol. I have pointed a pistol (and other various assorted weapons) at people many times while in LE. Luckily, my amazing smile and infectious charm (and sometimes a Belgian Malinois) allowed me to end every one of those encounters without the hammer falling. However, and I think anyone who has had to use a gun in anger will agree, EVERY SINGLE TIME I focused on the front sight and switched off the safety, I wished I had a truck full of loaded magazines right behind me. If I could have figured out how to carry 15 1000 round magazines, I would have. Minigun with a backpack hopper? You bet.

The notion that what is right for Brewha or me HAS to be right for everyone is silly. Who gets to decide? If my mother gets to choose the top speed of all cars based on her use of cars, you better leave for work early, cause you are not going more than 40 mph. Ever.

Liberty is being able to make decisions that imact you in a way that works for you. Our laws balance the liberty scale with personal responsibility. Instead of reducing our liberties, let's start moving back toward a world of greater personal responsibility.

This is about what is safe for society, not personal views.

And yes - rights and freedoms have limits in the face of public safety. Not to mention domestics tranquility...

Let's break tis down, a lot to unpack here...



OK, so one of the leading causes of pollution, climate change and death (by vehicle accident) in the US has no downside, right? Because YOU see value in them, it's ok to ignore the negative impacts they have. Once again, you use your personal belief system "none that I can see" to try to impose on a constitutional right. Not going to work this week or next week.




Help me find the spot in the constitution that spells out the right to an abortion? Which ammendment was that? I did a word search and, not suprisingly, the word "abortion" isn't there. Anywhere. I see that the second ammendmnet spells out a right very specific to guns, though. I appreciate your consistency in injecting your personal belief once again with "there is no real reason to have them..." Tell that to this lady: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/home-invader-fatally-shot-florida-pregnant-woman-ar-15-n1076026 or anyone who has ever used an AR-15 to stop something bad from happening.



Once again, I searched the constitution for "automobile or car or drive" and found no specifically delineated right afforded to citizens regarding driving. Therefore, States are free to regualte it as they each see fit. Additionally, do you really believe that having some requirement for a "minimum standard" test to own a firearm would increase safety? Has licensing drivers caused an end to speeding, red light running, crashes, etc.?

The problem most 2A propenents have with proposed restrictions on guns (versus addressing real, difficult causes like mental health, social media, lack of parenting, lack of morals, etc.) is that we know they won't work, and as soon as everyone agrees that 30 round magazines are too big and only 20 rounds are allowed, some nutjob will shoot up a bunch of people with a 20 round magazine. Then you will cry out that the solution is to ban 20 round magazines, and we will be down to 10 rounders. Lather rinse and repeat. Eventually, we will have a rediculous web of dumb laws that do nothing to prevent any violence whatsoever. Please see Exhibit A: California.

That's how we got everyone to stop doing drugs... we made them illegal, so now nobody does drugs because they're not safe for society. Ya know?

Somebody should limit your freedom to post such stupidity.

Brew, you're all over the map like an epileptic honeybee. Bazooka desire, gun running gun shows, useless AR-15s....

Value of an AR was clearly relayed to you. Gangbangers aren't loading up at gun shows. It's like you're flipping through a deck of flash cards with random gun control talking points.

Public safety? Est 500k-2.8m defensive uses of firearms. That's a lot of public, and you're attacking the smallest fraction of firearm deaths. You want to save the public? Stop drug overdoses. Stop unintentional poisoning. Stop maniacs from walking the streets. I'm open to ideas

To harass da black peoples..??

You're right. You won't.

Violent crime is on the rise in Australia. I bet the increased victims aren't feeling safer. Go ahead and throw Britain out there. Violent crime also rising and they even have knife control now
