99.99999999% of gun owners have never shot anybody. But way to bigot them all out and sterotype the whole lot.

I didn't say they would. I said they would be able to. Isn't that what you all want? To be able to?

I can't speak for everyone but I certainly want to be ABLE to shoot someone in defense of myself or others.
I was paid to do that in the military with MUCH more powerful and devastating weapons (SMAW). Why should I not be trusted to exercise good judgement now?
Yes, you will be able to shoot 30 people at once, or one person 30 times (if you aren't that good of a shot). I don't know you, so you won't be upset if I don't trust you anymore than I trust that guy who killed Chris Kyle. Eddie Routh was in the military too, wasn't he?

Nobody appears to be reading my posts. I am not talking about self-defense. I am talking about the ability to shoot 30 bullets very quickly. This is not self-defense. This is a power thing. So, you say you want this type of gun because the criminal has this type of gun? Great, you shoot him 30 times; he shoots you 30 times. Who wins?

Like I said in my first post, I don't think federal legislation banning the ability to shoot 30 people at once will pass. You will have the power, congratulations. You can't make me like it, though.
Iranian hackers can bring down one of our drones, you don't think our own hackers could do the same?

No offense but....., this thing about guns became another two-sided issue. No need to pick a side, millions like me doesn't have a gun and doesn't want one. I understand many folks like guns and respect that, but thinking about a future possible revolution, civil war or fight against a government is a hollywoodian excuse to have guns. Rebels in other countries are victorious just because they count with support of powerfull governments.
If the people being able to rise up against the government is just Hollywood fantasy then why are they so worried about the people having clips holding more than ten bullets?
I really don't understand this fixation to have a 10+ bullets clip when a drone could be on top of your home.
I've explained that to her before in another thread. She doesn't seem to get it. You can limit me to 5 round magazines. I can still swap them in out in 2 seconds or less and be ready to go again.

Moon clips and 10 round clips can be reloaded extremely quick . It would not make a difference in a domestic shooting .
No. I want this type of gun because the military has this type of gun. It's a deterrent.
