These are your Gun Owning Neighbors.

To follow Grady's analogy: We all drive cars and trucks. How safe do you think it would be on Highway 285 if some of us drove stock cars with souped up engines and dragsters mixed in and decided our own speed limit?

To continue that analogy....

You are correct. Hwy 285 is full of stock cars, and a bunch that aren't. Just because the vehicle (gun) is capable of more doesn't mean the owner uses it that way. Would you like rev limiter's on all cars that automatically limited the vehicle to whatever the speed limit is?

Ya mean speed control?
A rev limiter limits the RPM. So you don't go over the redline of the engine.
A speed control or govenor limits the speed.

There are plenty of "regular hunting rifles" that are semi-automatic, one trigger pull one bullet down range, just like the AR-15 types. They just don't look as scary.

That was the point of the picture, while the 2 cars or rifles in this case look different they are exactly the same under the hood.

Tell me, do you think the 2nd Amendment allows you to own your own atom bomb?

Do you think you and every American should be allowed to own an atom bomb?

It's a weapon, too.

Cost too much to build.

And we as individuals can own Cannons, imagine that.

What a stupid statement.

The "

right of the people to keep and bear Arms

", the constitution didn't say weapons. The right is to keep and bear arms.

Although I think I should be allowed to own an Apache attack helicopter, fully loaded of course.

An atom bomb is an armament. Weapons and ammunition; armaments: "they were subjugated by force of arms". Military weapons and equipment: "chemical weapons and other unconventional armaments".

Do you think you should be allowed to own one under the Second Amendment?

I know it's not your description, but it's mine.

I agree...And I'm not interested in the wild off-the-wall irrelevant analogies either.

Yeah cause you guys can't understand weapons so you should'nt have any.

Do you think you should be able to own an atom bomb under the 2nd Amendment?

Cause if we all had atom bombs, who would want to screw with us?
