    Wow Jake, this is one of your worst posts.

    Your thinking far closer to lunacy and ignorance than reason.

    Slave owners never had a "right" to buy and sell people - they just thought they did.

    Cafe owners never had a "right" to refuse service - they just thought they did.

    Felons were the only ones on that list that did have an actual Constitutional right to firearms ownership but they lost that right due to the Constitutional process noted in the 14th Amendment, its called a trial.

    Fail Jake, big fail.

    It is one of my best posts. Everything I wrote is true, and everything refutes your comments.

    The American alt right lines up with the klan and the neo-fascists, not the left.

    Cafe owners lost the right to segregate their services from those they don't like.
    Felons lost the right to possess guns.
    Your thinking is far closer to the klan and neo-fascists than the Constitution and its civil liberties.
    The kids understand what is good for American, apparently, better than you do.

    They go on tv and hype the **** out of "big black scary weapon of automatic assault war rifle weapon assault war rifle weapons" and then people run out to buy them just like they run out to buy IPhones.

    Of course the AR-15 rifle platform would keep showing up, its been made the most popular.

    And I wouldn't be surprised in the least if there are Democrats in Congress that own stock in gun companies.

    But such a thing is hard to discover due to "blind" trusts.

    You are not very well educated.

    This is an example of how ignorant some people are about guns.

    I had heard the school kids admitting to bullying Cruz, have they determined who those kids were yet?

    Hah, it does make me wonder if Civics or American Government is still a course taught in school.

    And if it is, is it still actually about the functional process or has it become just another avenue for leftist radicals to deliver their propaganda.

    Per the above spreadsheet, there were 98 mass shootings between 1982 and 2018 (including Parkland).

    The data is complicated, because almost all of the shooters had multiple weapons, so in the below if the shooter had a handgun, a rifle and a shotgun, they would could in each category. This is why the numbers totalled are much higher than 98. I didn't count multiples of weapons, so for my data, a shooter with two handguns counted the same as a shooter with one handgun.

    Go to column n and count yourself.
    I got 78 handguns, pistols or revolvers, 30 Assault rifles (and I was generous and counted the Mini-14 and M-1 Carbine as assault rifles), 11 Rifles (not assault), and 25 shotguns.

    My initial posting was a little off, but the basics are correct. 80% used handguns. 30% used assault rifles. 26% used shotguns.

    If you think you have anything near parity with your corporate state govt you are totally out of your mind, you'll never see/hear the drone. And it wouldn't matter anyway; everyone in america sat on their asses as they lost their right to Habeas Corpus without so much as a whimper. The notion that american guns owners are going to prevent their govt from over reach is preposterously delusional. They lack the nads.

    The American education system is an obsolete failure - a national disgrace.

    Gov't tyranny is not the main reason I feel the need to keep a good stock of ammo and high capacity mags. That's for a separate conversation though.

    Believe you me if the Gov't came after you those AR15s that you value so much would be like having a pellet gun as compared to the fire power they are coming with.

    They did a pretty good job in Iraq and Afghanistan with similar weapons killing our troops. The house to house fighting in Fallujah was carried out with kalishnikovs and they extracted a heavy toll in US casualties even with our overwhelming firepower.

    "Kalashnikov was the most prevalent firearm on the battlefield"

    No, he is not pro-slavery, and no one likes to deal with people they dislike.
    He may have to do that in his cafe, but he does not have to like it.

    I'm prepared for many different things, gov't tyranny is pretty low on the list of what I think can happen. However, at least I'm prepared. You do what you need to do.

    And don't forget Mogadishu where hoardes with kalishnikoves also did a good job of killing our troops.

    Not me in particular but us in general. A group of farmers with single shot squirrel rifles once stood up to and defeated the largest army on Earth.

    That's not the point. In the day, he could own slaves, and he could keep anyone out of his cafe. Yet he denies it. :)

    After WW 2 the defeated Japanese said they considered invading the western US at the same time they bombed pearl harbor but decided against it due to the fact that everyone in America was armed.
