    The 1689 Bill of Rights allows,

    The thoughts of John Locke influenced the Brits, then the Colonists who wanted the rights of free men in that tradition.

    This seems unlikely given the absolute state of the UK today.

    One, where did you get that idea?
    Two, can someone defending themselves from a gang not use an AR-15 for the very reason you mentioned its intended goal? Again, as you all keep trying to ignore, the 2A was meant for ones own protect, whether that is from one assailant or an invading force. This was clear because those who could afford it had cannons for protection.

    AR15 MAINTENANCE TIPS

    [​IMG]

    CLEAR A JAM AR15, M16, M4 MISFIRE


    [​IMG]

    This is a comic that was given to troops during Vietnam when the M16 rifle was issued. The steps on clearing a jam have not changed. This is an interesting piece of AR15 history should live on. No m4, ar-15 owner is complete without knowing the steps needed should a jam occur. Hopefully your rifle never jams but if it does know how to fix it quickly. Most jams occur due to lack of proper ar15 cleaning or poor quality ammo.

    There were a lot of problems with the early model. I have both, but they should have said if it jams find an AK-47.

    Apparently the initial jamming was due to a decision to save something like 3$ per rifle by not chrome plate the chambers and also substituting untested ball power for IMR powder.

    No there has not been an unconstutional act yet if you ignore the "assault weans ban " that was not renewed. If younalso ignore the fact that we cannot own fully auto weapons such as machine guns with special permission. The second amendment does not outlaw machineguns. In fact it does not mention guns it mentions "arms" . Arms can be anything from a dagger or a sword to an atomic explosive device.

    Well as I said O'Roarke is behaving iodiotically but he did not claim to want to ban all guns. He pointed out "AR plstfirm and AK platform" because those are the current popular ones. He did not mention any H&K or Belgian ones or other of similar function.

    Saying you stand ready to respond when armed brigands are sent to your door to take your property and kill you if you resist is not a threat of violence in the way you're using the term. Saying "I would defend myself and my homestead" is not a threat of violence against someone ffs. Saying "I'll send armed men to your house to take your property and kill you if you resist" IS.

    If the AWB was so constitutional, why did the dummies limit it to 10 years?

    A member of the gun grabber gang is now screaming about banning high capacity magazines = https://www.latimes.com/opinion/sto...-gun-control#nt=liL0promoXSmall-7030col2-main

    That demographic has been behind every gun control law in the recent past.

    Wouldn't take them long to figure out that there's other makes and models of 'scary black gun'... which need banned... even though they account for an infitessimally small number of over all gun related deaths... and there's 'not-scary guns' which have equal potential.

    But the mass killing cases were committed with rapid fire high velocity weapons for the most part.

    The majority of mass shootings, and homicide via firearm, are committed in minority areas, most likely with handguns.

    And gotta lol at "rapid fire/high velocity".

    Absolutely inaccurate. Start with Aurora, just for the hell of it go to Orlando, Parkland , Sandy Hook, Texas church, San Beradino, Whaffle House , Sante Fe, El Paso, Odessa, Stoneman Douglas, Port Arthur.

    I am sure there are others .... you are correct that hand guns where used on minorities such as that Dylan Root guy did in the Afto-American church in Charleston. A .45 Glock was used.

    Save your LOL for funny stuff mass killings are not funny.

    Literally though, the majority of mass shootings and deaths by firearms are just blips on the MSM radar. The ones you're aware of are the ones the good folks in the media industry want you to focus on... even though they account for far less death by firearm.

    I'm not laughing at mass shootings, I'm laughing at your lack of firearm knowledge, but I think you've gathered that.

    So, the "blips" don't count, only the inner city firearm crimes do.

    Got it.
