Question for folks who want to ban civilian use of semi-auto firearms:

there will be no mutiny aboard this ship

America is a first world, civilised, democracy, it is not a third world nation where civilians can deputize themselves willy nilly for unlawful forces.

the Commander in Chief of lawful government forces banned bump stocks for civilians, if He bans semi-auto fire arms, civilians must comply and rely on the government for protection.

 

Thank you for your reply.

It surmises how you see 2A.
I think most everyone has their own opinion of what 2A means.
As you said, some will think citizens need what the military has, since it states in 2A about a well regulated militia. Also, some will claim 2A is also for citizens to protect themselves against a gov't militia, foreign or domestic. I think.

Then there are those who would like to rid the 2A altogether.

And most people fall in between those extremes.
So what it boils down to is the interpretation one has of 2A. More importantly what the USSC has ruled in past and likely in future.
I don't see the USSC every banning all weapons unless there is some amendment to 2A.

So these 2A arguments is mostly personal opinions, IMO.
And I don't see a ban on most semi auto firearms. If any.

 

I can't answer anything about shooting feral pigs.
I've never seen one. I saw your video. They used bolt action rifles. How many rounds in those magazines?

I assume they used a bolt action rifle because they are the most accurate rifle.

 

Having hunted white tail deer for a few decades, I have observed most everytime there is a shot very near them, if they have not dropped over from being shot, they run away.
They don't stand their until a round actually hits them.

Maybe your feral pigs are different, I don't know. I've never actually seen one in person.

 

Snipers picking off hogs at long range need a rifle with a scope. The bolt action adds very little to accuracy unless your 800 meters + away.
Would you be looking through your scope during a feral hog attack?
Note that while the rifles eventually work the scopes are useless for these hunters when they encounter 1 hog.

 

So no need for 20 round mags?

 

Best choice: Shotgun with buckshot if you think you may encounter feral hogs at close range.
M-14 with a 20 round magazine and steel sights would also work and would be more versatile if you are a good shot.

 

Untrue, once the team breaks loose they begin running and trying to shoot them while pursuing them in a moving swamp buggy often results in a number of near miss's or a wounding shot, which must be followed up with a humane kill shot.

In the end this requires a higher capacity magazine, some guys I cull hogs with use 30 round mags, I prefer 20 round mags, they are in my opinion less prone to a feed problems and much easier to load.

The idea is to cull as many as possible which brings in a much better payment from the farmer who hires us, many of the older hogs are left in place to be consumed by vultures, other wildlife and insects, younger hogs are commonly picked up butchered and used as food, and because of the sheer numbers culled, much of which is donated to local food banks.

In the end it is a win, win, the farmer gets rid of some very destructive animals, we make a little money, and people who cannot afford to buy meat get supplied, for no charge, with some very good and nutritious meat.

 

I use an AR-15 with hollow points and have found it to work very well, low cost ammo and easy on my shoulder.

 

A very effective weapon to deal with all kinds of threats, and ordinary working stiffs can afford to own and use it. No wonder they want to ban them.

 

Good luck with that.

 

Or as a former Chinese leader once stated, "it's impossible to invade a country where their is a gun behind every blade of grass" and the same applies to internal to the U.S., so called leaders, who might want to invade this country with their socialist agenda's.

Which is why they and their useful idiot minions are pushing for the disarmament of the law abiding people in the U.S., a conversion to socialism is not possible until the law abiding is totally disarmed within the U.S..

 

i didn't know that, but Israel's Iron Dome has a 90 percent success rate

So some special needs for high round magazines.
But most of the general public really has no need.

 

Then precisely how much ammunition does any given member of the general public truly need access to at any given time, in any specific situation? Explain such. Prove conclusively, beyond reasonable doubt, that the general public truly does not have a legitimate need of access to magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition at any given time.

 

Where did I say to limit ammo?
I only said, most Americans have no need for 20 round mags.

Where would the ever have a need to fire off 20 rounds in about 1 minute? Maybe some mass shooting? A shooting range?

 

If the objection is not being made on the amount of ammunition a private individual may choose to carry on their person, then there is no legitimate reason to object to the amount of ammunition that is carried in a particular magazine.

In any situation where such would be necessitated. Just as law enforcement officers have need for magazines holding such a capacity.

Those who find themselves present when a mass shooting is taking place would most certainly have a legitimate need for the ability to return whatever volume of fire is necessary to preserve their own lives. The only other alternative is being left unarmed and helpless, unable to do anything but run and hide, and hope that someone will come to rescue them before they are murdered.

 

Sure, multiple people firing rounds as fast as they can all around is sooo safe.

 

As opposed to what, precisely? The person who made the decision to initiate the mass shooting being the sole individual in possession of a firearm, free to murder at their leisure because they will face no opposition? Just as was demonstrated in the Pulse nightclub shooting, and countless other mass shootings?

 

Fix the broken mental health issues in the country.

 

So what do you operate, nuclear bombs? From what I know nuclear bombs cannot be operated by just one person. And besides the government would never use nuclear bombs against American citizens as they would be nuking their own soil.

 

Attempt at off topic deflection duly noted and ignored. The discussion started on the part of yourself was an objection to the amount of ammunition contained within a specific magazine, rather than the amount of ammunition an individual chose to carry with them at any given period. Mental health has no relevance to such and will not be discussed. It was yourself who made the comment about how only a mass shooter would have need of a magazine capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition, thus suggesting no private individual could possibly use such in a legitimate application. As well as suggesting the belief that a private individual is compelled to discharge all of their ammunition at once in a single application, and that they cannot possibly discharge anything less than the full amount of the magazine.

Which, once again warrants the previous question. When operating a motor vehicle, or a piece of electronic equipment such as a stereo, is the maximum speed and volume utilized by default, in all circumstances even when such is not warranted, simply because the maximum output is physically available and can be used?
