Gun control is damn near the equivalent of car control

Narrowly prescribe conditions of use or availability does not equate to the generic legitimization of automatic weapons.
Grenades are used by the military. Does that make them "legal"?
Once again, you prove your lack of knowledge.

Grenades are legal. They are just registered under the NFA with a $200 stamp tax per item as a “destructive device”.
 
Only if they're dumb enough to stand there and get shot. Did you know Australia had a war against emus and lost even though they had machine guns to shoot them down.

Turns out an emu with its little Walnut sized brain nose to get out of the way when it hears a gunfire so people do as well
Yeah no man you have no idea what you are talking about.
Had you spent any time in the military especially in a combat arms MOS you would understand this.

It’s doesn’t matter how much weaseling you try and do. They are not outlawed.
You got caught talking out your ass again and now rather then have the integrity to annoy you made a mistake you just keep digging that hole.
 
In other words, you have no productive response.
lol. Keep telling yourself that. Automatic weapons are not outlawed. You were wrong.
You just lack the integrity to admit it.
 
I understand that you want to communicate that automatic weapons are no different from semi-automatic weapons. That is incorrect.
That is a lie.
I am just communicating the fact that automatic weapons are not outlawed like you claimed.
You bs is what was incorrect. And everyone can see that no matter how much you try and deflect.
 
Automatic weapons are equivalent to cannons, dynamite, mortars, grenades and tanks which can be owned under specific permitting processes. That does not make them equivalent, as you wish to imply, to commercially available over the counter firearms.
No matter how much weaseling you do your claim is not getting any more correct.
That you lack the ability to admit you were wrong says all one needs to know about you.
 
Yeah no man you have no idea what you are talking about.

So people just stand there and let you kill them what do you need a machine gun. Just use a muzzleloader.

I don't doubt people manage to kill some people with them. But I seriously doubt it's like in the action movies.

You seem to be under this weird believe that machine guns can not be moved or aimed at moving targets. Not sure what that is all about. But it’s kind of silly. A private straight out of basic training would understand that concept.

Here’s the thing. I don’t have to go by what is in movies.
I have real world experience.

There is no permit required to own automatic firearms.

See nobody goes for cover when you start firing at them or do machine guns fire through cover?

Till you kill the bunch of people with a machine gun do you think you wouldn't have been able to kill them if she had to pull the trigger once every round?

If so why are you just waste a little less ammo
 
If you are against the right to own firearms in the United States, even if you just want to legislate out things liberals call "assault rifles".

How do you plan to work with the fact the there are approximately 400 million (probably way more) in circulation.

There are more guns that people in the US and guns last longer than car and a human.

Gun legislation is not a new thing, guns have been continuous legislated every decade to no effect.

So if gun legislation is the answer, then why hasn't it worked the countless times its been implemented?

And how do you do so without clearly violating the bill of rights?

When is it time for the left to focus maybe just even a little bit on things like uhhh...... prescription drugs, metal health, culture or media handling of mass shooting.

even if you still believe in gun legislation somehow, do you really think you have great take on the issue, when the issues just above are seldom talked about or given attention by your side of the isle by any sort or recognizable degree.
What a dumb arguement.

Cars are heavily regulated. Guns should be too.
 
Guns are more regulated than cars are.
Lol.

No.

You need a liscence to drive a car. You need to register your car. Smog checks, traffic rules. Mechanical rules, safety rules like seat belts and air bags and the kind of glass you can use. Etc. Etc.
 
lol, yes.

A felon can’t own or buy a gun. A felon can own and buy a car.
That is a good thing but its Apples and oranges

You lied when you claimed cars are more regulated than guns. I proved you lied.
You need a liscence to drive a car.
No you don’t. You need a license to drive on a public road.
You need to register your car.
No you don’t. You need to register a car to drive on a public road.
Smog checks, traffic rules.
None of which apply to operating one on private property.
Mechanical rules, safety rules like seat belts and air bags and the kind of glass you can use. Etc. Etc.

Guns are more regulated than cars are. I’m sorry that you got caught not knowing what you are talking about again. But it’s hilarious as always.

Do you deny that you want to equate the access to automatic weapons is no different than to semi-automatics?
 
Lol.

No.

None of that matters to own a car.

None of that is required to own a vehicle or operate it on private property.
 
What a dumb arguement.

Cars are heavily regulated. Guns should be too.

Let's start with ownership and possession...

So as to belay any attempts at obfuscation by tossing different metrics into the mix.
 
Do you deny that you want to equate the access to automatic weapons is no different than to semi-automatics?
There is no difference. If you are legally able to own and purchase a handgun, you can legally own and purchase a machine gun.

Look I am sorry but your lack of knowledge and experience here is making you look foolish.

There is a reason that infantry units refer to their machine guns as their most casualty producing weapon. It’s why when you set in an ambush the most attention goes to where you set in your machine gun and it is given the best field of fire. This stuff you learn in basic training.


But I am sure you are right and all US military doctrine is just wrong.
 
You lied when you claimed cars are more regulated than guns. I proved you lied.
No i didnt lie.

They are.
No you don’t. You need a license to drive on a public road.
Oh stop.

You own cars to drive them. 99.9% of cars are used to be driven on roads.

i have an old farm truck that I only use here. But the vast majority of cars are used to travel the roads and they are heavily regulated. Way more than guns.

Silly arguement.
No you don’t. You need to register a car to drive on a public road.

None of which apply to operating one on private property.

None of which apply on private property.
See above.
Guns are more regulated than cars are.
Nope. Cars are way more regulated than guns are

If you want to use it the way 99.9% of people use cars it does.

The fact that some fraction of 1% of cars are exempted from the regulatiins does not mean cars are not heavily regulated.

Just stop with the silliness.
