Wow, 5 rounds is high capacity there? If we follow the thoughts of the gun banners then there shoild be little to no gun violence in the peoples republic of kalifornia. And since fully auto weapons are illegal there must be none used in any crimes either. I'm not quite sure how that theory is holding up.
I want a fully auto .22. Probably a 10/22. It would give me the awesomeness of full auto a a more cost effective price.
As for need, no we don't need them. It is a want but this country is supposed to be free as long as we don't impead the rights of others. Some people own cars. Cars aren't necessary for civillians to own. Those "automatic" transportation devices should be outlawed. Look how many people they have killed. There's no reason to go that fast. Why wont walking or riding a bike do? Because we want a car.
A fork in the wrong hands is a deadly instrument, as is a stick, a knife, a blender, a bowling ball and every other object in the world. Most sporting goods can easily be used to kill but those are supposed to be used for sports. Then again shooting is an Olympic sport so why limit our sports equipment.
Many people ask why we need guns that hold more than one bullet, can shoot full auto, are black in color, and can be suppressed, why do we have to need them. Wanting these firearms is enough because the US is a free country, less and less all the tine though.
I hear guns are only used to kill. This is not entirely true. Yes that is what they were made for but they can be used for fun without killing. Look at the yoyo. It was designed as a weapon that could strike an enemy and come back yet millions of kids have found a way to enjoy them with hurting others.
Sadly a person I work with told me they give you power and make you want to do things you normally wouldn't do. To this I asked him if you were holding a gun right now would you want to rob this place? He understood but did make a good point about guns giving a person power. Everyone here knows Mr. Colt made people equal. A 70 pound grandma can take on a 300lb attacker and survive.
If everybody had a gun the criminals would be too scared to commit crimes. Sorry this rant went a little off topic lol
