    that was not a gun control bill. it was merely and dishonestly reinterpreting existing laws to cover firearms with bump stocks. Guns are useless against Jets? they work well against those who order jets to attack citizens and they work well against pilots. BTW one of my law school classmates was a Phantom pilot in Nam. He said he mainly did close support missions. NVA knocked down several other planes with small arms fire. his plane was hit by what the mechanics figure was a pistol round

    The Taliban sent Biden packing. They had no F-16's.

    Amazing story. Almost defies belief in each individual part.

    they can get hold of fentanyl or Oxy without prescriptions and they can get all sorts of firearms as well. so what do you want to ban? a block of aluminum because someone with a machine shop can turn it into an AR 18 receiver? or someone with a 3D printer can make a serviceable AR 15 lower? or a glock auto sear

    I think you've worded it perfectly we fought fighting those wars. There were stupid rules of engagement, we put ridiculous geographical boundaries on our troops while the enemy escaped to places where we couldn't peruse them. We tied one or both hands behind our backs while the enemy engaged in TOTAL war. And, NO, they weren't poorly armed, read an account of Dien Bien Phu to get an idea of the arms the Chinese and Russians were supplying the Vietcong. And that was very early on against the French, it only accelerated and became more sophisticated as the war went on. I'm certainly not as familiar with the Afghan war but it appears to me we fought under rules that limited our troops while the Taliban, again, fought total war.
    Yeah, the whole U.S. legal code. What are you playing at.

    Do I want to ban a block of aluminum?

    How an earth did you reach that conclusion from what I stated.

    Now I realize that these strawmen will keep getting birthed no matter what I say, but really, that one was completely ridiculous.

    here's a tough question Biden supporters never will answer

    if someone wants to keep honest americans from ever buying another AR 15 rifle, do you think that politician is happy with Americans owning the ones they currently possess?

    No problem since no one can define "assault weapon". Fifty states... fifty definitions. And the military definition is different than them all.

    i am a relatively wealthy man and i pay a number of taxes that are specifically designed to protect me. i don't want to own an f-16 and i don't expect to ever have to worry about being attacked by one. that the president of the united states would make such a statement leads me to worry about the aims of the federal government. what such a statement shows us is that the executive branch of our government sees a different sort of america than i was raised to understand, that there are "the people" and there is "the government". this is a frightening revelation.

    i do know of several groups who could easily bring down an f-16, but none of them hope to ever be put in such a situation. we live in an age where even secession should be dealt with in a civilized manner. the arms that we carry are meant to protect us from civil unrest or even localized governmental violence. that the president would even consider using military aircraft against the civilian population can only lead one to believe that the stockpiling of weapons is entirely justified.

    yeah, I question whether you actually support the right of citizens to own firearms

    I am not quite sure why you would question that. I have clearly stated my thoughts on the topic.
