Favorite "comebacks" or analogies when debating gun control advocates

[Bill of Rights]

To All,

I am not afraid to show my ignorance and learn something new:

What is a barrel shroud?

Here are some examples of barrel shrouds:

I don't think that hand guards and fore ends are considered "barrel shrouds."

I consider them to be hand guards and fore ends. Barrel shrouds are barrel shrouds. Like clips are clips, and magazines are magazines, but clips are not magazines.

It's OK to strive for greater accuracy in nomenclature. However, gun control advocates operating in the legislature shouldn't even be given the benefit of the doubt, because they don't care. They want it banned, mainly because its appearance offends them. Point being, whether the item in question is a barrel (or magazine tube) extension, a heat shield, a forend, handguard(s), etc, they want it banned because of the way it looks.

It's even worse than that. They want things banned when they don't know what they are OR what they look like. Is it part of a gun? BAN IT! Hence the barrel shroud/shoulder thing that goes up that we all laugh about.

...a visual aid:

Rep coming. Hope you don't mind my "stealing" the pic. There're some folks I'd like to have see it.

BTW, almost all Dan Wesson revolvers and many new S&W models have "shrouded" barrels. Does that make them extra evil and deadly?

Magazine Capacity (all deadly...to a point):
Super Sized Fries
Large Box of Donuts
Extra Large Carton of Cigaretts
Keg Of Beer
Car with extra large gass tank
King Size Candy Bar

How do you plan to keep your family safe?
What will you use to stop people and children from being murdered in front of your eyes.
How will you stop a crazy person that will not stop killing?

Assault Weapons (could be banned):
Cars
Beer
Knives
Clubs
Cars
Bats
Fists
The Ground
Rocks
Bricks
Bows
Arrows

To the "our founding fathers did not intend or dream of assault weapons" argument. Do you think they would have used them against the British if they had them? Do you think they intended to have the right to bear arms (meaning slings and arrows) and to have the potentially tyranical government to have muskets and cannos? They also did not forsee submarines, tanks, nerve gas, biological weapons and missles, but governments, including our own have them. I think we are still out gunned! (I do not really advocate individuals having many of these BTW, but that is a different argument that I do not intend to start or end)

I still do not have a rel good one for most americans do not need assault weapons, other than... Most americans do not need most of the stuff they have, but that is no reason to ban people from having stuff! And of course the second amendment.

Going agains the second amendment is treason.

Anti-gun politicians are liars and traitors for swearing to defend the constitution and then turning against that.

The constitution sets up the rules and guidelines for the opreration of our government. Do we just throw it all out and start over?

The second amendment allows us to maintain the rest of the constitution. The first amendment would quickly vanish without the second.

The press are so eager to lie and spread junk stories out there. How would they like it if they lost the first amendment?

Good post man, funny.

I told my son that a car is a GUIDED MISSLE if the driver is an idiot. Perhaps we should ban the vehicle. But then the idiot driver will start riding a motorcycle won't he?

No thank you. We have enough idiots in our sport driving up our insurance rates and just generally giving us a bad name and causing knee-jerk-reactive sheep to call for laws regulating our tools. You keep them, please.

Cars are worse then missiles, and cause way more deaths, then missiles and firearms combined. And thats not even what its designed for. Next war, lets just send over a bunch of our drivers and we will be good to go

I always liked the fire extinguisher analogy.

"Why do you have a gun?"

"Why do you have a fire extinguisher? Do you WANT a fire? Are you planning to set one? No. But you want to be able to protect yourself if there IS a fire."
