RCF sponsored Range Time? lol :chuckles:
there is technology available that prevents anyone other than the guns owner from shooting that gun.
Why the hate for assault weapons? Most of the already gun-related homicides are caused by pistols, murder by assault weapon is almost nonexistent.
The purpose of the right to bear arms is to protect ourselves from our government, if it is ever necessary.
Our forefathers had the foresight to know even a democracy could one day become corrupt and oppressive. The 2nd amendment is a small step to prevent it.
1 - pistols aren't used for things like the Virginia Tech or the Dark Knight Rises shootings. It stands to reason that less people would be injured or killed in incidents like that if the shooters only had pistols.
2 - there is zero chance civilians in the US could defeat the US military. The 300 million guns in the country would be no match for tanks, jets and bombs.
so your'e saying because people die nothing at all should be done to improve safety? That the death of Kasandra Perkins is part of an acceptable number?
I just googled "child accidentally shot" and hit news to get the recent news stories on this topic - there were 9,370 results. Just ignore the issue and consider all of those children to be part of an acceptable number?
You have to study and pass a test that shows you are a responsible driver to drive a car. Show you are irresponsible and your driving privileges are revoked. People on this thread talk about if gun owners are responsible, accidents can be avoided. The problem is, irresponsible people are also able to get guns with no training whatsoever on gun safety. The problem is they aren't just putting themselves in danger, they are putting other people in danger.
Would you be in favor of reducing the speed limit to 40MPH on the highways and 20MPH on regular streets? It would GREATLY reduce the number of accidental deaths and easily improve safety. 10's of thousands die per year in car accidents. It would probably save 20K lives, right? That's a lot more accomplished than by banning assault rifles.
It's pretty clear your not a gun owner and certainly have no idea what an "assault weapon" is other than what the media tells you, of which you would be wrong. Why not go to a shooting range? Excercise your second amendment right and purchase a gun and become educated. Hell I will take you shooting so you can speak from experience.
It just bugs me to no end when people have no hands on experience, and somehow think they're qualified to make an opinion, after seeing a biased and wrong news cast for 5 minutes.
Offer stands to anyone who would like to learn how to shoot. PM me and I will take you out shooting.

Theres only one purpose for assault weapons during peace time and thats to shoot bullseye.
Switzerland supplies these guns to their Citizens. Acountry that has no standing army yet was able to avoid invasion during both world wars.
Assault weapons are currently a private citizens best protection and deterrent to domestic or foreign invasion.
The US government was still made for the people and by the people. It is upon each citizen to protect their own civil liberties not solely rely on the Military and Police force to do it for them.
A career path shouldnt dictate who can own what type of guns. A well armed citizenry protects liberties that millions have died for and would continue to do so.
