Actually, yes, I can buy whatever is offered for sale
I can pass any background check, or at least have so far, includimg that Secret Clearance thing back in the Navy, so I can buy what most folks can walk into the store and buy, under the same laws.
No, I can not knowingly sell firearms to certain people.
Knowingly being the key word there
Yes, one can buy some obsolete military vehicles and aircraft that have been de-weaponized.
That is not anything like buying the weapon, and is not the point.
I do not want your guns.
I do want all of everyone's rights to receive the same attention and defense and support that is lavished on guns and the second amendment.
Where is the outrage for "law and order" violations of the 4th like sobriety checkpoints and random drug testing? Yes, I know that the conservative appointed judges have ruled that the public safety trumps the individuals' rights. Really? A citizen can be stopped, compelled to give evidence, detained and possibly arrested with out any hint of probable cause? And "conservatives" support this in the name of "law and order" and "feeling safe"?
That is just plain Orwellian.
Conservatives in general and the NRA have plum gone off the reservation from the responsible and rational positions held by their heroes and predecessors just a few years ago.
All the while, They proclaim that the mentally ill, or medicated, or stressed, or this one and that one should not have access to guns - and simultaneously oppose any sensible effective improvements in the laws that would facilitate the very thing that they say is needed.
That is just plain stupid.
I said facilitate, not acheive perfection.
That ain't happening.
Comservatives clamor for the government to "protect them", and "keep them safe" from every.damn.thing. Including "those people"
And then cry when government's' attempt to do so to do affect their little world.
That is just plain hypocritical.
I personally recognize that if we choose to have some freedoms, we will also have some risk. BFD
Live with it.
Stop being afraid of life.
I'm not.
BTW, it was Dell deflecting, and I am not a Flight Attendant. I have however known a great many of them who were very intelligent people, successful business owners, no-#### real-life War Heroes, and many other things deserving of great respect, and able to engage in a more coherent and reasoned discussion on any subject than you have ever demonstrated on this forum.
Anyway, All honest work is honorable, and deserving of respect.
Unless one is an insecure ass, and must raise himself up by tearing others down for such superficial reasons, I guess.
You stated that you can buy "whatever you want" I again as I stated over and over, you cannot. I don't what Secret Clearance you had as a Squid, I had the same in the USAF. Big F'n deal is right. Regardless, nothing to do with gun ownership. You need to be vetted and approved for a Class 3 Federal License to "buy whatever you want". This means at "Dirt Cheap" as you call it, that sweet FN Model D .30cal lite machine gun is OFF LIMITS to Ifly2. You can't buy it today, tomorrow, or next week with stacks of 100s for even double the price. Understand that yet? I know, those are just laws and details.
You stated you "can't buy a tank or and F16". Wrong and right. I guess being specific and details as such isn't a concern with you.
"I don't want your guns" But you agree with those that do. Don't BS it, really.
Everyone's rights should be respected, correct. I guess your referring to gay marriage. How about the Constitution? Feel the same right?
So check points to keep drunks off the road and drug testing isn't a good idea? Just go ahead and let the drunks and druggies do what they want while they kill people on the road, and tell those damn republican police to get off the back of that drunk that just killed that family of four on the highway, he didn't mean it. Wow. Orwellian isn't even close, anarchy is what you want. Tell that to my friend that got hit head on by a wrong way illegal mexican drunk driver on his motorcycle going to work at 3am. He'll understand I'm sure.
The Federal Firearm laws already address the criminal and mental element regarding firearm purchases. Read the law, educate yourself on gun laws before you make yourself look even more stupid. As I said, guns laws are only as good as the enforcement. Which libtards like you would hate, the enforcement part.
To say that the Federal Government is not responsible for the safety of its citizenry is simply ludicrous. Just disband the military and melt all the jets, heavy artillery, and aircraft carriers into scrap. Let the citizens carry our rifles and hand guns into battle when Russia, Iran, or China invade or whatever it is that they plan on doing.... just say "Well hey Mr. Putin, we don't have a military anymore, but we are gonna take on the cannons, and fighter jets with our AR15's, hold on while we organize". Very nice comrade, very nice. I assume that's what you meant by "Government Agents". Again, not sure. You didn't state FBI, ATF, CIA.
Tell the dead folks and the families in Boston and in the Twin Towers and the four commercial aircraft that crashed on 911 that the government is not here to protect them from terrorism. I'm sure they would listen with open ears. Don't be afraid, you decimated families affected by terrorism. BFD, live with it. That's the price we pay for freedom. Don't be afraid of life. Beyond Insane.
As I said to the other nutty "Fly" girl, preparedness is not fear. If I lived in fear, then I would hang a Gun Free Zone sign on my door and lock myself inside. Not the case. The liberal is the one who is terrified, of legal open carry guns in a Wal Mart where they run out the door and leave the shopping cart for the manager. That's fear.
Finally, I didn't disparage all F/As, just you. I know quite a few of them also, so don't try to twist my words to fit your libtard narrative. Nice try anyway.
PS, did you see that the Bland family filed a lawsuit for her alleged suicide? Good luck with that.
