Agreed 100%


ignorance at 100%.


Not ignorance so much as logic.

Take that premise that the second was created so that a citizenry can stand up to a tyrannical government to it's logical conclusion for a moment. I won't argue that it was the reason for the second,which I believe it was.

With today's armament however,does anyone think citizens would be suddenly weakened in their attempt to resist if 100 round mags were banned? If we take that thought of resistance to tyranny as a basis ,then citizens definitely need more powerful weapons like tanks and fighter jets,at the least we need gas and explosive hand grenades.

Now does anyone here want one of these mass shooter nuts to get his hands on that kind of weaponry? I wouldn't think so.

Is then the reason not to ban certain things about resisting or not resisting tyranny, or more about the fear of someday not being able to resist tyranny?
