Everybody knows it's only those evil .50 BMGs that the terrorists want. ;)

Since Heller has established that the 2nd Amendment does indeed protect an individual right to own firearms, now would be a good time to throw the whole militia clause back on the gun grabbers...

The first militia act (1792) explicitly stated that everyone mustering for militia duty must bring their own firearms & ammo, suitable for the common defense. This means that, at the very least, all small arms (including ammo) suitable for the common defense are explicitly protected and individuals must be allowed to "keep" them, on the off chance the 'reserve militia' (all males (citizens, in some states) capable of bearing arms who are not already in the active duty military, National or State Guards) is ever called upon for service...

:twisted:

Not quite the same.....

Both .50BMG's
anti-aircraft.....
An M16.

An AR50

IF you can hit a moving aircraft at 150+ miles per hour with a bolt action or even a semi-auto rifle that is greater than 1 miles away with a series of shots at less than 25 rounds per minute.....


DAMN dude....you best market that skill.


I still want an M16 some day.

There are actually quite a few anti's registered here. They're trying to stay anonymous. But we know who they are.

It is also hypothetically theoretically possible that not absolutely everyone is answering seriously.

By definition, an "anti" would answer yes to any gun confiscation/removal. :?

It shows there are at least 25 people registered here that have some fundamental issues with the second amendment.
