Why do we have the gun rights in our country! Answer me that ZillaRider87!

You cannot control a terrorists methods of acquiring any guns like this with these laws, can you?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

That's kind of like saying why do you need a 500cc two stroke ATV when you can get by with a 250cc 4 stroke machine.

There are many people that own firearms not for the purpose of killing things. The .50 BMG is a very capable long range target shooter and is widely used in recreational and competition shooting. As long as they are used in an area that is appropriate for them to be used safely I see absolutely no reason for them to be regulated. They are too unweildy for use by a common criminal because it is nearly impossible to conceal a weapon that is about 5 feet long and weighs about 40 pounds plus or minus in a trench coat. Completely impractical to say the least!...

 

lol can you fire that with one hand? or would you break your nose trying? lol

 

Or like saying do you really need to mod your 4 whlr? Why? Faster? Why? More power? Wastes fuel doesn't it? Still America, buy what you want. And do what you want within reason, law. 80cc with gearing can move us all around the trail. Not too many would want that, not as fun. Or tell a Grizzly guide he can't carry a .50 cal self defense gun. It's his life he's protecting.

 

N.J. wants to ban a gun? Now that's shocking. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

I agree 100% with squeege!!! How many murders and robberies alone would it stop if they took all our guns away ?? NONE !! That's right NONE !! because the people committing the crimes are not going into a store and buying the guns. They are abtained illegally in the first place and used in a crime so what would they care if a gun is banned. The only thing banning a .50 cal. or any other firearm would do is leave the honest law abiding families and sportsman unprotected while the criminals go unscathed because nobody is allowed to have a firearm to protect themselves. Also letting the anti's ban any form of firearm just opens the door for them to banning the next and the next and pretty soon we have a total ban. I will give up my guns when they pry my cold dead fingers from around them !! Men fought and died for our constitutional right to keep and bear arms and I won't give that up without fighting for it.
Nuff said.

 

well if they took all of the guns away, how would there be illegal firearms to obtain since there wouldnt be any....... unless criminals are smart enough to manufacture there own.

and my original post's meaning was do you need a gun THAT big. wouldnt a 9mm or a .45 be sufficient enough for the average citizen for protection, not carrying around a cannon. hell even a little .22 pistol is enough for most people just to feel safe.

 

Funny you say that, Years ago.....I had a schoolmate build his own "zip gun"(yes people will build there own) cause he was gonna be in a fight over a girl in school.....he was shot in the head at school with one of his own guns a week later....shocker for our small town

 

A small, cheap gun is exactly what the average criminal is looking for. They can use it once, and toss it in the trash. A person that purchased a .50 caliber weapon isn't buying it because it's disposable.

Which is more dangerous, a person unloading a 9mm that they hardly ever shoot, or a person using one round from a .50 caliber that they have more than likely became familiar with, to stop a threat.

 

The real "SHOCKER" was that the "zip gun' was built during class in our metal shop in the school.......

Laws don't stop criminals from obtaining ****
