limiting mag capacity or bump stocks isn’t an infringement on your right to own a gun. it just makes it so you have a gun that can’t shoot as fast or as much. or do you think automatic weapons should be purchasable? what about heavy weapons like autocannons? should i be able to throw a .50 BMG on the back of my pickup and drive around with it?

And those limits do little to protect anyone that would be victims of a crime. Swapping magazines can be done faster than you think, and full auto is difficult ro control. Banning them does nothing to actually help people, it’s just security theater.
Also, the states that ban larger magazines also are more likely to ban suppressors, which is ridiculous because suppressors are personal protective equipment. Pretty much every other country leaves suppressors unregulated, because there’s no point to regulating them.
Going with the other stuff I was saying, I definitely think you should be able to purchase 50 cals and machine guns and everything else, but like, you shouldn’t be allowed to keep them at your house.
They should have to go to a public storage facility where they are kept under lock and key, and only let out to the registered owner or to the people that the registered owner permits, like a gun bank that also serves as a volunteer militia registration and training center.
I’m totally okay with people having their cake and eating it too, as long as that is done with the overall safety and happiness of society in mind.
Blowing shit up is a hell of a lot of fun, and if you have the money to do it, you should be allowed to do it. It’s a great stress reliever, it’s an excellent opportunity to hang out with your boys or your girls or your pals of indeterminate gender.
You are describing the national guard. It’s a public service you join up, get training, and have service obligations.
If you want to blow shit up become an explosives engineer or work in demolition. Just because you have a personal fetish for high calibre guns is a pretty bad reason to claim everyone should do it too.
No. They’re describing Switzerland, not the National Guard.
And no, thats doesn’t translate to the US well, because Switzerland (like every European country) doesn’t have gun ownership as a right that’s baked into ther constitution
Casting aspersions on the person you’re debating with is generally not a good way to communicate your point.
I don’t have any fetishes for high-caliber weaponry. I’ve never fired anything stronger than a shotgun, and that was just when I was learning how to use a shotgun.
I am well aware that the National Guard exists, and I know that there are reserves and army reserves that the average person can join, but I also know that it is a multi-year, high-level commitment that takes you away from your career, your friends, and your family, and it’s not really appropriate for everyone.
Saying these things to me doesn’t actually address any of the topics that I introduced in my earlier statement.
It’s perfectly fine to disagree with me or to say that you believe all guns should be melted down for scrap.
I’ll do my best to debate reasonably as long as we aren’t just insulting each other.
