Why I just bought an M4

Look out, we're dealing with a badass here!

Where did the OP insinuate that he purchased his rifle for the purpose of self defense? And further, so what if he had? That doesn't make one a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

 

Room full of people....How many people can someone kill with a bat in 30 seconds? How many with an M4 rifle?

According to TFM, I guess it's "almost the same".

 

So what will you be doing then? I'll still be here $1100 richer.

 

Yep videogames, football, game programming and development. I'm an "expert" on those too. Pays the bills.

The voice of someone who supports death of children and massacres....

See how stupid hyperbolic comments can be returned.
Hyperbolic much? Never have I said people in general should not be allowed some form of self defense.



Hey how bout I be allowed to own a tank. I'm a nice citizen. I should be allowed to parade my mother (*)(*)(*)(*)ing tank in my city just because of freedom. Hey you never know when the big old "guvernment" is going to come attacking. Free country (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)es.

 

Okay, but which one is easier to use, which one would kill more quickly and frequently?

In a situation such as this, there are only two ways to address the issue, either we address the culture, or we address the weapons themselves. As I have no faith in humanity, I think we will have better success with limiting weapons than we will with changing cultural problems.

 

Baddass? Not really, all I'm saying is I often hear such fear in the words of the gun toter... like, "You aren't scared to go there unarmed?" It makes me laugh, because no, I'm not.

 

How is a parameter "fake"?

It is IMPOSSIBLE for a person to be standing 40 feet (my original distance, go back to my first response) away from 20 people holding a large knife or a M4 rifle???

Such a thing CANNOT occur? Ever?

Because if it CAN....and there is "no difference" between the machete and the M4....they "do the same damage" when used by the wrong hands in 30 seconds.....then the casualties should be "no different".


Or just to finish the point....your statement was ludicrious, but now you're too embarassed to admit it was, so you attack a LOGICAL QUESTION rather than admit it.

 

So you are going to fight the US Military with your gun? You and your buddies who practice by shooting beer cans? I can't wait! I would love to see Obama declare marshall law and try to confiscate all guns! I want to see how many of you put your money where your mouth is and fight the US Military!

 

Mmmmmmmm, an M4! I'm getting a woody just thinking about one.

 

This contributed to the wealth of the gun industry executives as they expect their stocks to spike after every mass shooting.

Aside from that, the English believe liberty must be strictly regulated that is why they have a safer society than America.

A safer society has to come from limiting liberty, so banning assault weapons as Clinton did in the 90s helps the collective at the expense of the individual.

 

Okay, but you obviously projected that onto the OP, since his stated reasons for buying an M4 demonstrate no such thing.

Just out of curiosity though, in the case that you're accosted by an armed thug while 'walking the inner city unarmed', do you plan to (*)(*)(*)(*) or (*)(*)(*)(*) your pants before having to succumb to the demands of the armed thug?

 

Thurston and Columbine happened during the ban.

 

Not so fast.If you were programmed under the technology that has existed for
some time to mind control you would be easily suceptible to the urge to kill.
What about certain drugs like Prozac where right on the label is a warning about
possible Increased Risk of Suicide or Violent acts. Suicide being the nation's
number one killer.
It is manifestly obvious that James Holmes was not in his right mind.
Yet he,too had absolutely No prior history of ANY Violent act.
Yet like Adam,out of the clear blue,Holmes UP's and decided to shoot up a
Theatre.
Explain how that works.2 males around the same age with no history of
violence or even being troublesome,up and commit atroicty.
To be that is proof that something else is the common demoninator.
Guns don't kill.Humans who pull the trigger kill.

 

During the Gun Ban of the Clinton administration, FBI statistics shows evidence of a massive drop in mass shootings and gun violence.

After the 2004 expiration of the gun ban by George W Bush, those statistics showed a massive increase in mass shootings and gun violence.

The facts state that legalizing Assault weapons are irresponsible concerning the general safety of the collective.

 

I hear words of fear from the gun control advocates.

ERMAGURD WE NEED TO BAN X BECAUSE VIOLENCE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!1111

Then out the other side of your face:

ERMAGURD YOU ARE SO PARANOID FOR CARRYING A GUN THE ODDS OF ANYTHING HAPPENING ARE NULL!!11111

 

Nope.

Citation needed.

 

His "**** you" had Gorn Captain implied.

 

You mean it jumped from 0.003% of firearm homicides to 0.005% of firearm homicides?

*spidy hand you*

 

Percentage Decline of Assault
Weapons Traces Between Pre-Ban and
Post-Ban Periods
66%

I agree that the odds are null for the most part... The gun control would only be to stop maybe mentally ill people from getting guns and stopping the sale of high capacity assault rifles that no civilian needs. I agree people should have guns, just have them regulated as to type, who can get them.

Face it, you are NEVER going to fight the US Govt. with your assault rifle! No matter what they do, NOT HAPPENING, no matter how often you day dream about it.

 

Oh wow, such a victory.

Now, how about the overall homicide rate?

 

What is a "high capacity assault rifle"?

You are aware that assault rifles are Class III items and are very expensive? Lime $20,000 for an M-16?

Find a post where I advocate war with the government and you get a cookie.

Find at least three posts where I am critical of the non-sense and receive a second cookie.

 

Pointless.

Why not run just the gamut?

tennis shoe
stone
rear naked choke
rope
tinker toy
fisticuffs
candlestick
baseball bat
knife
derringer
bow/arrow
machete/sword
semi-automatic gun
car
mortar/grenade
RPG
artillery
tank
F16
flamethrower
automatic weapon
biological weapon
explosives
nuke

Still wouldn't mean anything. Intent does.

FINDING #1: Assault weapons banned by name in the Federal Assault
Weapons Act have declined significantly as a percentage of guns
ATF has traced to crime, and in absolute numbers of traces, since
the Act was passed. Had this decline not occurred, thousands
more of these banned assault weapons would likely have been
traced to crime over the last 10 years.
