You say you want "good insurance against the government" and then you
want to let the government decide who they are going to let "limit"
them.
I really think that armed revolt thing is not a very good reason to
have the 2d amendment rights anyway but when I hear anti gun people
saying it my bull**** detector goes off.
I think I agree...that being able to press an armed revolt against the
government is not a very good reason for the Second Amendment. It's too
bad we let the genie out of the bottle in regard to civilian ownership
of large-cap semi-auto rifles and pistols and magazines, because,
whether you are hunting or defending yourself, there's really no good
reason for anything beyond the average hunting rifle, shotgun, or
revolver, and there are plenty of hammerless, pocketable revolvers
available that'll handle substantial rounds. My favorite by far firearms
to shoot are my six shooter, and my lever action and bolt action rifles.
Any of them are suitable for defensive use or even hunting small game.
Ah, so now that you've sold your 'assault rifle' of which you were extremely proud,
civilians shouldn't be allowed to own them.
Why should your preferences have any more value than someone else's preferences? Only
a few weeks ago your preference was the 'assault rifle'. Heaven knows you made enough
posts about it.
