[quote=gothicaleigh]I was just asking because that first post you refered to sounds like the same unfounded anti-government sentiment that I have heard from some of it's members. The supreme court can not possibly see every case that is sent it's way. So ones like Silveira are tossed. The Silveira case has too many aspects attached to it. The vocal gun nuts out there only cry about the one that they perceive to be harmful to their cause and ignore the rest. The Supreme Court typically does away with overly complex cases.
As for that one aspect that worries 'the people'... Semi-automatic weapons are not protected under the constitution. What exactly do you need such a gun for? Anyone who needs to fire that many times in a row to take down an animal shouldn't be hunting. Of course a gun like that is only intended to hunt one animal. Human. END GOTH's quote
You must realize if criminals and those non-dogooders from the black market have them, then in a free country, why shouldn't you be able to?? Agression must be met with equal or greater force. If this were not the case, we would all be forced to say "Sig Hail" right about now.
Ifgiven the choice, I'd rather be shot AT by an untrained idiot wannabe with a full-automatic, than a humble hunter with one shot in a bolt action, that he knows he must make that one shot count! It all comes down to training, so don't just think that a semi or full auto is some kind of "Death Ray" that is the type of brainwashing the antis have been shoving down our throats for the last 20 tears. No firearm is a death ray, as you have a 76% chance of surviving if you are actually shot! (Professor Gary Gleck)
Why are good citizens that fight for what they believe in always called "crazies!?" This is even more offensive and insulting that being a firearm owner and having to deal with all the beurocratic(sp) BS.
Yes, we have the Bradys come up here once in a while to spread their fear, and crap, you can keep these idiots at the border IMO!
I am so sick of this discussion, people will never learn logic!
