TTG_l0g4n wrote I regret to inform some of you that a nationwide ban own private firearm ownership is not going to solve crime problems at all. the majority of people committing acts of violence through the use of firearms are not obtaining the firearms through legal means. The black market thrives on illegal sales of firearms and by banning firearms you will be increasing the trafficking of illegal firearms into the US. How is making a market that is worth hundreds of millions of dollars illegal (handing it over to illegal traffickers) making this country safer? The people that are already doing the trafficking stop at nothing to get their 'product' into the country. Giving them the motivation of millions of dollars isn't going to make them any nicer or easier to stop.

Where is it in the constitution that says that someone cannot own a machine gun if they want to? There are enough (my opinion) regulations already in place to negate a 'crazy person' to have purchasing power of such weaponry. For people that don't know, to buy a fully automatic firearm of any kind in the state of Oregon you need to pass a in-depth background test, pay a fee to the federal goverment (I believe its around $250 per weapon.), and you have to have a chief law enforcement officer sign off on multiple documents ( to my knowledge a course must be passed in order for the signing of these documents.)

Maybe instead of focusing on 'taking guns off the streets'. A better use of money, time, and resources would be to implement firearm safety courses in school. The only thing I ever heard in school about guns as a kid is that they were bad and if I see one to tell an adult. If not for the way I was raised I would not be able to safely operate a firearm. A good percent of shootings in the US are from accidental shootings from people that don't know how to safely operate a firearm.

I understand that at this point the his proposal does not ban all guns. But, if I were in the presidents place I would know that trying to pull ever gun out of every citizens hand in the US would be near impossible. If I wanted controls, elimination, or limitation of gun sales and ownership in the US I would start small and slowly increase restrictions. Which is what I believe is happening.

The Constitution was written 300 years ago. Assault weapons haven't been around for 100. Please explain how they would have figured "Hey, in three hundred years people will have large capacity, semi-automatic Rifles! we should probably put something about those in there!" The constitution was written when half the population lived in isolated environments where you could be killed by Enemy troops any day. We have police, we have an organized army, we have law. You don't need an assault weapon to protect yourself from an intruder. Get a smaller caliber handgun. It scare off 90% of intruders, and kill an intruder if they feel lucky. People don't need Assault Weapons :p

Assault Rifles are banned. No citizen can own a fully automatic rifle of any variant. It's extremely illegal. Assault weapons refer to rifles such as the AR-15 Civilian Variant. They normally have larger magazines, but only fire as fast as the trigger is pulled. I don't support them though, and don't believe citizens should own them. :p

Actually you can get fully auto weapons in some states if you have the money, licenses, background, and have something to lock them in. They also have to be made before 1986. If you want to get technical, anything and everything can be an assault weapon. It's a tag they place it with to make it seem worse than what it is. It's a semi-auto rifle, nothing more. My brother has two AR-15's and I guarantee you he won't give those up. It's unconstitutional and no one in the government has the right to take them away. The government has created many laws in the past 15 years that are unconstitutional and it's getting quite ridiculous.

Tell me please, when has your 25-30 Round Magazine really improved your hunting experience? Do you really need that much power for Elk?

Please tell me, When the zombie apocalypse happens. Do you intend to buy quick reload for your 5-10 round mag? Because if not, you're SOL.

Obviously it's unconstitutional. There were no Assault weapons when the second Amendment was put in place. Obviously because the founding fathers wished us all to carry trench knives and M4s. On the serious side though, I don't believe that simply saying "Because I like them" Is a fair argument to use when defending guns rights either. And I doubt that half the people who say they would rebel against the Government if all ballistics weapons were banned would actually bear arms and fight our Army. Most would turn tail and run, or submit to the laws. Just the way it goes :/

I disagreed with you at first, but your past few posts are now making sense, I can agree in some cases.

Off topic - An assault weapon would be of no use in the Zombie Armageddon. It would just attract more zombies, and no use unless you wish to die. Go with an actual hunters rifle. Easy to maintain, ammo is plentiful, and great for simple kills. And with the 30 round magazine, you'd just be wasting ammunition. It only takes one bullet to the head to kill, why waste 10 in the chest?

I'm not going to go in order of deconstructing your poorly thought out message, Instead I am going to start with the most un-thought topics and proceed.

1. "It scare off 90% of intruder, and kill an intruder if they feel lucky."
90% of the time isn't enough percent when it comes to protecting myself and the ones that I love. I don't have kids yet but when I do I would like to feel safe that if anyone tried to break into my house and potentially harm anyone. I would have the means available to prevent it. Also, you should of put a word between "it" and "scare".

2. "a smaller caliber handgun."
I would like to to clarify, But last time I checked the lethality of a .22 and even a 9mm pales in comparison to a .45. Bigger=better and referring to point #1. I would rather be safe than sorry.

3. "We have police, we have an organized army, we have law."
I have had two break ins living at my house, thankfully they were solved without the use of much physical force and no firearm use. But, it took the police over an hour to respond to both situations. Yes, we have an orginized army, but in the unfortunate event of the army becoming part of a corrupt military rule then how do we as innocent people defend ourselves?

4. "The constitution was written 300 years ago..."
It was actually 224 years ago. And is referred to as a living document for a reason. Change can and should be made to it. But within reason.

How is your bolt action hunting rifle going to stop a potential horde of zombies?

And obvi. since COD zombies is based on real life. When has someone thought "Hey, i'll take this Kar98 over a M60."
Never been said in the history of COD.

The amendments can only be changed by another amendment. For example the Prohibition Of Alcohol had to be changed with a later Amendment. It took over 10 years for that to happen, and right now we don't have ten years to spend making everyone happy. We need change, and it's needed now more than ever.

The point of it would to kill the occasional zombie effectively. He who believes he will be able to survive the Armageddon killing every zombie he sees, and with a loud weapon such as that one is foolhardy or lying. Carrying a 25 pound machine gun is also too much. Slows you down and will be the death of you. Unless you pitch your pack, then you're unarmed though. You need reliable, easy to maintain rifle, and a medium caliber handgun to keep on you at all times. Pulling out a Death Machine and a full auto sidearm would only accelerate the uninevitable.
