They’re Americans, it’s their constitution, not yours, as Australian it makes absolutely no difference to you whether Americans can legally pack heat or not.

You do of course realise that your precious 2nd Ammendment was written in 1792 and the first known caliber bullet wasn't invented until about 1876?
As an Aussie I find it ridiculous that you lot scream about 2nd ammendment, conveniently ignore the fact that it was written when the most deadly gun they could fathom was a single shot front load musket, capable of 3 shots in a minute - in the hands of a competent musketman!

Biden: There’s ‘No Rational Basis’ For Citizens To have 9mm Pistols
Joe , Thomas Jefferson made it perfectly clear as to the reason for the 2nd Amendment .
And there was no caliber restrictions involved .

You are quite wrong. Enjoy reading about the Puckle gun:
Puckle Gun
Haha I'll give you that one - sort of. I definitely had no idea that there was a 'repeating gun' that old, but technically i'm still right, as in that was musket balls - not a caliber of ammunition that the origial post was trying to point out

I’m English, however if I lived in the US I’d 100% wanna pack some serious heat.
Can you legally own submachine guns or fully automatic assault rifles in the US, or is it down to individual state laws?

It isn’t murder if it is an abortion. Go back and read again and know how sarcastic I can be about things. Like if a 9 could blow out a lung then they should use it for abortions to blow the baby out.

Yeah, when you are out picking blueberries and a bear comes around...pull out that twenty two pistol to piss off the bear with. I got a three fifty seven to take out picking berries, at least you can slow him down when it chases you with nine shots from that. But again, the Democrats do not want you out picking berries, they want you dependent on them to survive.
I don't know what you are getting at here...
The .22 is NOT for shooting bears.
It is for shooting whoever is with you, in the foot, to slow them down as you are running from said bear.

... Biden is wrong. Now if he said AR15, I wouldn't necessarily disagree. I think to buy that type of weapon, there should be requirements. Clearly I believe, in the 2nd amendment, if I didn't We wouldn't have guns.

If you want to prove they want you dependent look no further than social systems like disability.

Absolutely. This talk of "you could kill a bear with a .22." Sure. You could. You could probably kill it with your bare hands. I read about a guy in Alaska that killed one with a pocket knife. He just got lucky and hit it in exactly the right spot.
Your odds of doing that though are extraordinarily low, as they are with a .22.

But there is that slippery slope thing. First they introduce requirements to purchase an AR15. Then they establish conditions to own one. Then once they have everyone registered, they take them away when they want. Now they have a precedent and start to come after all the other guns you own.
Liberty does not die in one massive gasp; the life is squeezed out of her bit by bit until she finally takes her last breath and passes quietly into the darkness.
We have California gas prices. Tent cities probably coming to a town near you to. I guess it makes since that the Shall not be infringed part of the second amendment would be pooped on as well. The internet and the free exchange of information is too big of a threat as is an armed populace
