Bump stocks are not about liberty lol.
They are a firearms accessory. Contrary to the sh*t that is spouted in the media and by politicians, they do not transform a semi-automatic rifle into one that is select-fire.
Jefferson was clear when he penned,
"...they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Unalienable adj - unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor.
So, yeah, bump stocks are about the liberty of pursuing one's happiness, i.e. they ARE about liberty...lol.
I am as pro gun as you can get and i don't care if they ban bump stocks.
Talk about "lol".
Bump stocks are not guns.
Exactly. They are an accessory for certain weapons. If we take what you've said and run with it, there should be no reason telescopic sights, trigger upgrades or external box magazines shouldn't be banned, right? After all, they're not firearms.
Also, i don't have any issues making semi-autos like an AR going to 21 to purchase like we do handguns.
You can tote a rifle for Uncle Sam at 17 years of age, but, by all means...let's keep semi-automatic rifles out of the hands of those who haven't turned 21...or is it just ARs?
These are reasonable changes.
NO, they are not. They are clear abrogations of liberty and fly in the face of our Republic's bedrock...the rights of the individual citizen.
We also need to figure out how we keep letting crazy people buy guns and figure out how to stop that.
Yeah....because once they are forbidden to purchase a firearm, these shootings will cease. Meanwhile, they can scurry down to Lowes and buy a chainsaw, a machete at Home depot, an aluminum baseball bat at Academy or a 4000 pound weapon on wheels at an automobile dealership.
Being unreasonable about law changes is ... well... unreasonable.
No, it's not. When free people, who put any value at all on liberty, are confronted with a direct attack on it, it is their duty to raise hell about it.
Way to gut stomp the Bill of Rights, there, honcho.
You know...keep thinking like you do and one day, they'll be coming after something you DO care for. Whatcha gonna do then? Don't whine/cry/scream/pitch a fit, because YOU asked for it.
Just occurred to me....if they do come for something you hold dear, there may be a lanky, 18 year old kid, with an AR in his hands and a gut full-o-liberty, that stands in the gap and says, "Nah..ain't happening."
