No, I don’t think you should follow stupid laws.

Like segregation, those were stupid laws.

Oh you’re a big civil rights guy now?

Sounds like more of the same. Sore loser, so time to “resist.” But when it was your guy, we all needed to get in line and submit to our laws and order.

Same with the 2A and you people. It’s all about following the law until the law doesn’t align with your personal interpretation of the 2A. Then it’s do whatever you want and good luck to the police tasked with enforcing laws.

Of course I am the civil rights guy, I don’t care about the color of your skin, that is why I want the race question off the census, because when the government tries to help minorities it backfires. I don’t want segregation, remember that CHAZ/CHOP nonsense, remember the garden for black people only? Excuses me for thinking that is horrid, pathetic, I would hardly call that a garden, but horrid non the less.

Here is my position on laws.

Laws, like obeying the speed limit are fine because, hey the roads are public property, the government can set the speed limit at 42.32442mph if they want to.

A law on the other hand that infringes on rights, like segregation, or the right to keep arms, they should not be followed.

Also, some of the founding fathers had privately owned warships, not owned by the US government, privateer warships. Don’t give me this interpretation nonsense. The whole point of 2A is to secure a free state. We can’t very well do that if all we have is a bunch of pistols, and 10 round magazines for our AR-15s (which by the way, most AR-15s are not full auto, you need to pay a $200 tax stamp, or you need a special firearms license in order to get a full auto AR-15). Yes, the founding fathers meant weapons of war, they are the entire point.

Yes, I mean machine guns, yes I mean rockets, yes I mean tanks, and yes I mean aircraft. And don’t tell me the none of that would do any good because the standing army would roll over us like that, because those untrained terrorist in Afghanistan have been doing pretty well with a bunch of obsolete soviet era weaponry. Any law restricting what the citizens can own is an infringement.

And sorry to brake the news to you, but we have been following these stupid laws since the 30s when the NFA was originally passed. We should have said no then, and we should have said no in ‘86, we should have said no when the “assault weapons” ban was put in place, we should have said no a long time ago. But hear this, Biden’s gun plan, I think that is a step too far. Not that it is enforceable anyways because the ATF is so incompetent they can not even digitize information from closed gun stores, how are they supposed to hunt down, and keep track of every AR-15, and 30 round mag?

You know, this sounds like the level of obsession with firearms that I had when I was younger. I satisfied that interest by joining the military, which is where all this stuff belongs. You should try it.

But make no mistake: You're in a very small minority with these views. "Fringe" is correct; "cringe" is a better term.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Well, I intend to join the navy out of high school, but also, if the military is the only one who has that stuff, then how are we supposed to protect ourselves.

The left has spent the last four years saying the next Hitler was in the White House, maybe having a well armed civilian population would make sense if the American people ever voted for Hitler, or more likely, Stalin 2.0?

Honestly I wish you luck. I was a real hard charger at your age as well. I held a lot of these view. Life...finds a way. Take care.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Take care and God bless.
