If you had a choice of owning a gun or owning a car, what would you choose

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

My point. Branch Davidians had all the guns they wanted.
It did them no good against the government.

Bullshit. It did them LOTS of good. How long was the standoff?

Templar is another that suffers from an extreme deficit of intelligence (stupid). Unfortunate for him/her because they will never appreciate my extreme intelligence.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

My point is, that people argue they need guns in case the government goes rogue. If they have guns they can defend themselves from the rogue government.
You would need a lot more than guns if the government comes after you.
Take that argument, as a reason for no more gun regulations, off the table.

Sounds to me like we need machine guns.

Thanks for making the case for me.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

The guns did them no good against the government.

Because government had better equipment and firepower?

Yes

We need MORE guns. We need more firepower.

We need machine guns.


....or Valhalla!

If you are ruthless and desperate enough in a collapsed society you can use a gun to get a car but not vice versa.

If you had a choice of owning a gun or owning a car, what would you choose. A car provides more freedom, for me, than any gun.
I would be more concerned with the government taking away everyone's vehicles than everyone's guns.

The government should allow cars and guns.
Put the same regulations on guns as you do cars for the same reason, the safety of all citizens.

Depends…

If I live in Ch-town it is a gun but in the rural area I live, well a damn gun…

A guy with a gun could take your car, and there wouldn't be anything you could do about it.

A car can take you to Disneyworld.

A gun will save your life.

Cars often break down.

Guns rarely fail.

Cars are a privilege.

Guns are a right.

[MarathonMike]

some might, all will not.

You think someone scummy enough to carjack you at gun point is going to follow the rules to buy a legit gun?

Biden admininstration has introduced legislation to mandate remote kill swithes on all electric cars

Infrastructure Bill: "Driving Prevention" Technology Coming To New Cars

Joe Biden signs Infrastructure And Jobs Act into law, mandating drunk driver prevention technology by 2026. Then there's the RIDE Act.

Are you against government mandated safety features on a cars.

I am against the government being able to disable my car anytime they wish

 

[Briss]

I'd rather have a gun because if I have a gun, I can get a car.

Is it a remote possibility that the intentional manipulation of energy prices is a back door means to disable your use of your Dino-powered vehicles?
Just a thought...

Should also come in handy for them whenever they get the arbitrary whim to lock down society and separate them into essential and non-essential Americans again.

 

[daveman]

much better than if a gun was involved.

So, then you'll get your ass kicked, AND have to walk to the ER.

Brilliant.

 

[daveman]

Wrong. Tell me where a current regulation prevents a law abiding citizen from owning a gun.
We put regulations in to try and prevent the mentally ill and violent individuals from obtaining guns. If it proves that the regulation is keeping law abiding citizens from owning guns, you change the regulations.
People say universal background checks and red flag laws will prevent law abiding citizens from obtaining guns,
Let's put them in place and see what happens.

"Let's give the government more power over us! I'm sure they'll give it up if it they don't need it!"

Hey, dumbass misterbeale, what is your answer to my post.

If you had a choice of owning a gun or owning a car, what would you choose

I’d shoot you Nerf bullets don't hurt

After careful consideration, I'll go with the firearm...

Good Lord blessed me with 2 feet...
and the 2nd Amendment...

No cars around in the 1700's.
No semi-automatic weapons in the 1700's. It would be interesting if the Founding Fathers would have addressed semi-automatic weapons if they were around in the 1700's.

No internet in the 1700s. I'm afraid you'll have to turn off your computer. It doesn't fall under the 1st Amendment.
