And you can protest in Austin with an AK-47 strapped on, point it at someone in a car, and surprise your friends and family by being killed when the person staring down your muzzle draws and defends themselves. Originally Posted by mtabsw

What difference does it make about the name of the name or style of the weapon? They all shoot bullets that can kill what they hit. That is the point of a firearm, after all.

Some can kill 10 motherfuckers with 20 rounds in a half second volley.

Others spit out a tiny, low velocity projectile that might sting.

Back in old El Paso, if a man was riding his horse down the mountain, shouting and shooting his way so he could make it to Rosa's back door, maybe it made sense for the other cowboys to have medium quality shotguns and rifles for self defense and carry them around all day, everyday..

Hey, I'm a guy who hated Beto and was glad to see him self destruct like the little faggot he is.

However, today's weapons are just too powerful and precise for any idiot to be carrying around in public, though. Keep them at home for self defense.

I could take anyone with normal vision and train them in one hour to hit a target one half mile away with a Barrett M107A1. It is just too easy to do.
