[ZombieApocolypse]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

It was NEVER a question of necessity.

I love how every single one of these anti-gun people begin their rant with a statement pledging their support of the 2nd Amendment or Americans right to bear arms. What a total crock of $hi!!. It befuddles me as to why anyone would take the opinions of an uneducated journalist seriously. These people know nothing about firearms so how do they feel knowledgable enough to write these articles? I don't read em because it just lowers my IQ.

Because the fools in the audience they are talking to are either "far superior" persons to worthless, dangerous rednecks who have guns or complete idiots and fools who don't know anything about history or freedom. The same demographic the normal Democrat appeals to.

"And the NRA is just as wrong when it opposes efforts to restrict drum magazines that can hold 100 rounds, such as the one the gunman in Colorado used to mow down moviegoers.

Seriously, please offer me a reasonable and rational explanation as to why someone who isn't a law enforcement officer needs to fire off that many bullets?"

Why would a police officer need to fire off that many bullets?

+1!

Where we're missing the boat on educating people is the real reason the founding fathers wanted the 2A - to protect us from an overreaching government. Every time this argument comes up that we don't need those kinds of weapons, someone needs to point out their writings that support this line of their thinking.

The other half of that where we've failed is the "well trained militia" part. How far would Homes have gotten if we we truly were a nation of riflemen and *trained* arms-bearers as the founding fathers had intended? two shots maybe?

I just read a Fox News article on my phone (sorry I can't link it) where they stated that the Wisconsin shooter was taken down by Ofc. Lender who "returned fire with his department issued rifle".

Wanna bet what the rifle is? A department issued assault rifle!

What does NEED have to do with anything? You're starting to sound like one of them.

That I have jackass progressives telling me I do not need assault weapons is exactly why I need assault weapons.
