You're giving yourself away.
They won't get past the rednecks in Kentucky.
We have gone around this rodeo other times.
Except i don't think they were ever banned. I think using them for hunting is what was banned. You could buy one for a small chunk of change if you wanted today.
I'm fairly certain that for every case of legitimate "he broke in, past the security screen, with explicit intent to do harm, and my gun was the only thing that saved me" cases, we can probably find several cases of people being shot for "walking down the street while looking suspicious" type over reactions.
It's a fact; guns make you feel cool and powerful. I own 5 restricted weapons, and several more unrestricted ones. I know how seductive weapons can be. But I make a point to practice and maintain the self awareness to recognise them for what they are. IMHO, the "but I need my gunz for self defence!" argument is nothing more than an ad hoc rationalisation by people for whom gun ownership is nothing but a crutch to compensate for various insecurities. The insidious thing is that for many gun fetishists, they've internalised the argument to such a degree, they really believe it, they want to believe it, and making well reasoned, logical arguments against the idea only triggers their cognitive dissonance, because, ultimately, their sense of self relies on the fact that they own a gun. It makes them feel empowered, and gives a sense of control and security in an uncertain world. Threatening their unrestricted gun ownership threatens their very sense of self, hence you get all these ridiculous "yeah, but what if..." ad hoc justification scenarios.
There you are.... You've shown us that you have no real interest in guns or their history. I think it's all about you and your ego..... true?
I can't tell if your bluffing, ignorant, or just trolling.
Show me where any calibre I mentioned is illegal.
I'll wait.
Call the U.N and send em on over to take em from us then.
Excepting that you don't see thge common sense of mandatory 3rd part public liability insurance for all gun users.
True..... they were banned for their designed use.
One writer on this thread has boasted that he nearly blew a large hole in a man who was advancing upon him, but then the man backed off. That man could not have been holding a gun, just from the description, and the post writer NEARLY FIRED!
You put that better than I could.

Just before we bought our house, there was a Centurion tank offered for sale near me. I suggested to my wife it would be a better use of our funds, but she wouldn't be in it. Later this story came out Bought a Tank & Found $2.6 Million in Gold Bullion Inside and I still give her crap about not buying a tank, since they come with $4 million AU worth of gold in the guts. She still hasn't let me get one thoughCould @Kangaroo Feathers keep his tank in his back yard and take it out to practice with occasionally? ...... if he was a US citizen?

No. I don't.
I am sure you imagine that if some tragic, that would undoubtedly instill many with bias, befell me, then I too would see the light. I do not think fear is a good way to push agenda: "you should agree with me lest some insufferable poor person causes damage beyond their means."
It is true that many guns are effectively banned in the U.S. This has been done through the commerce clause. It is illegal for citizens to own new automatic or burst fire guns. The exception is for people who deal with weapon sales. These individuals are allowed to own one model for educational purposes. Once they are no longer a dealer they must sell their model.
Honestly, i would have to research the legality of tank ownership to answer this question. If so, I imagine there would be a lot of hoops to jump through.Could @Kangaroo Feathers keep his tank in his back yard and take it out to practice with occasionally? ...... if he was a US citizen?
More ignorance.
See above. Read and learn.
But you were wrong. You now admit that such guns were banned for use.
Yes I see yours is quite expansive.
Oh well guess you just s.o.l then.
Doesn't apply to me.
Irrelevant info
Nope, the weapon was banned because it was used to kill large amounts of ducks at once. Not a general ban.
Yes, banned from duck hunting.
I can still legally own one and use it. So long as I don't use it for hunting.
See how your "knowledge" is slowly being whittled down by someone with a much greater understanding. Death by a tiny thousand paper cuts. This will continue as long as you want to continue embarrassing yourself by replying with bluffs and huff puffery.
You was wrong from the start pumpkin.
You were wrong sweetheart.
I think I've proven I know more.
I never said I pointed it at anyone. More evidence of your lack of knowledge. I said I've only drawn it once. Drawing your weapon doesn't automatically mean pointing it. I drew my weapon and place it on the dash of my car, so the crackhead could see it, to scare him away, and behold it worked with no violence issued.
Yes your whole argument has been from the start.
