“Weapons of War”

Please watch and share this video. Very well put together. I can’t believe how low the views are. To use the anti’s own terminology, the second amendment expressly recognizes the individual right and duty to own “weapons of war”.

Right, yet fully automatic weapons were banned in the 1930's and most gun enthusiasts and 2nd Amendment advocates have somehow been duped into accepting that. Why?

The 2A does not recognize any differentials between "arms" and the men of those times were using firearms with the very latest technology available to them. I define "arms" as anything a man can reasonably carry and/or operate lest you think I am advocating for everyone to have a small, tactical nuclear missile in their back yard.

This is why any restrictions or outright bans of hi-cap pistols and "assault" rifles must be vigorously resisted because if allowed to go through for any length of time gun owners will at first become complacent and then later accepting just like they have with fully automatic weapons.

Correct, no restrictions, no compromise, no apologies.

I have a Trapdoor assault rifle, but it's low capacity...

Not banned but extraordinarily expensive, which is the point. Joe

Now days when $200 isn't that expensive, I think they want to persuade people by making them wait up to 14 months for a tax stamp.

Last one I got took 5 months, and I thought that was a long time.

Seems like after you had 1 $200 tax stamp, they could just do a quick background check to see if anything had changed since the last one.

Why the low views? The video is two years old. In the two years since it was posted, there have been a gazillion other guys making videos saying basically the same thing. It's pretty much a case of you've seen one, you've seen them all.

YouTube viewers tend to go for the most recent stuff. I'd imagine most people don't use YouTube for research.

Priced an MP 5 lately? Pre 1986 legislation, a new one was $1500, which I thought was high at the time. Conversions were a couple hundred plus the stamp. When they had gun shows @ Tupperware hq, a guy had a new, complete 50 cal M2HB for $2495 w/ tripod. The hardware got expensive due to .gov meddling. Joe

No pistol grip on most, sporting/officers maybe, so OK!

A person on the Harley forum paid over $30K for a HK auto sear.

This was the pic he posted, but I don't think this was his actual sear.

As much as I'd love a few full auto guns, I'd be most happy if they would just take suppressors off the ATF list. It would be great to just walk in a gun shop, fill out the paperwork like a regular gun and walk out that day with your new suppressor.

I'd love to add a 45 silencer to my collection, but really don;t want to wait a year to get it.

Yeah, that $200 for a tax stamp is just to get their PERMISSION to own one.

The fact that they have prohibited manufacture or importation of any new full-autos since 1986 is what has made them PROHIBITIVELY expensive for ordinary people.

And the PROHIBIT part of prohibitive is really the point.

The Constitution guarantees our rights, at no point have any of those rights been completely free of charge. Even if we ourselves do not, somebody paid something for every right we have. There are no poll taxes, but the right to vote was paid for in blood by our veterans. We tolerate the current restrictions on automatic weapons as a compromise, because otherwise, no matter what the Constitution says today, we may not like what it says tomorrow. God bless all here.
