And there's no reason outside of paranoid fantasies that anyone needs a semi-automatic weapon with a high capacity magazine.
There have been semi automatic weapons on the market
for well over a hundred years. "High capacity" is a vague
term intended to convey a sinister impression of course.
Simple .22 rifles with a capacity up to 20 rounds are and
have been common for a hundred years and more.
Ask farmers, ranchers, hunters etc why they prefer
this type, I dont know. "Paranoid fantasy" though,
is kind of obviously not it.
There are well in excess of ten million high power
semi automatic rifles in the USA-based on that
there are 10 million ARs alone. Most are "high capacity".
Again-ask the collectors of military antiques, ranchers,
farmers, hunters, competitive and recreational shooters
why this is what they want. I am no shootist, I get
this info from my boyfriend, I am just repeating it.
"Paranoid fantasy" is not it, though.
Regarding need, few NEED a sports car,
a Harley Davidson, a jet ski, a snowmobile,
a four wheeler, a jeep, a surfboard, or their
own airplane.
I dont NEED a Chanel bag.
Is it your, or someone else's actual business to
determine who needs what, and disallow what
does not fit your
need to make such determinations?
And finally not be be tiresome about invoking the
2nd, for lo, many are tired of hearing about it.
When it is entirely suitable and relevant, though,
you are going to.
Observe: the bill of rights is not about whether you feel or have
a need to speak. Or go to church. Or be free from
unreasonable search or seizure. You may have no
need for a trial. Nowhere does the bill of rights mention need.
# Two is NOT about
need. No more than any other
right.
Finally, on "paranoid fantasy". People like that
do exist. There are people with paranoid fantasies
that the devil is after them, or that they are being
spied on by the FBI. Fortunately, this is rare.
I am confident that you do not actually believe that
tens of millions of Americans are bitterly clinging
to assault weapons of war because of a paranoid
need for them. I hope you would go for a more
perceptive view of fellow citizens and avoid the
invidious descriptors of people you really do not
know. Ok?
