#2 A knee-jerk reaction to a problem that has little to do with any problem.

#3 Hand grenades, RPG's, M14 Toe Poppers, Claymores, M19 Anti-tank mines, C4 Exposives, dynamite, and bumpstocks.....all stuff the average citizen has no business with.

Just my opinion.

#4 My understanding is they classified them as a machine gun which is still legal with the appropriate paper work. I don't see the point of them myself but I don't see why they can't be bought over the counter.

#5 Besoeker -- the Constitution specifically permits citizens to own fully equipped ships of war. That whole "letters of marque and reprisal" thing.

So your opinion is noted, and ignored.

#6 Not to be argumentative, but there is no language in the US Constitution (just rechecked to make sure) that prohibits the private ownership of an atomic bomb. Somewhere along the line however, someone decided private ownership wasn't such a good idea.

#7 "Hand grenades, RPG's, M14 Toe Poppers, Claymores, M19 Anti-tank mines, C4 Exposives, dynamite, and bumpstocks..."

One of these things is not like the other ones. One of these things, isn't the same...

Giving up rights you don't personally care about is not something I can get behind. And giving the gun grabbers anything is just bag of hammers dumb.

#9 What about issuing Letters or Marque and Reprisal for the State Govt of Kaliphornia?

#10 Well, that doesn’t make any sense without the image.
