Kyle Rittenhouse speaking out against BLM at universities.

We had 40mm HEDP(high-explosive-duel-purpode) rounds for the M203 and the belt-fed version(fed from a large ammo can)for our MK-19s. Those are actual weapons of war that we used to kill more Hajis than with those pissy little 5.56 rifles.
I am not familiar with 44mm.

44mm are just like the 40mm but 4mm more powerful.

They took away our MK-19's before we got in country. Something about potential for civilian casualties blah blah blah.

No, that is not why he's a staff member. There are plenty of reasons why you are not and will not ever be one. Keep on keeping on, though.

lol. Don't be bitter because you got called out. Go hug yourself and get over it.

But there are people here who appear to believe any restriction is an infringement.

Someone call my name?

2a = anything is fair game, and so is stopping reasonable threats to life.

We all know it, it just makes some people uncomfortable.

I believe magdump disagrees with you.

Weapons are inanimate objects, every single one of them, as of now at least (AI will certainly change this). They cannot harm anyone without physically being put to use. If they didn't pose a significant threat to control, they would not be regulated. The goal is never safety, ever, when it comes to the regulation of arms, and many other things.

"Common use" is arbitrary and also the "muh rights" crowd probably would have a problem with it.

Actually, "Common Use" is a SCOTUS precedent set in the Heller decision. It should ultimately result in the overturning of all "Assault Weapon" bans.

 

[323MAR]

Yeah i always chuckle when folks say civillians cant own this or that. Just look at Acedemia formerly Blackwater. They have a civillian army.

Many civilians don't know anything about mercenaries..........oh sorry........ private contractors! These "contractors" are not exactly the general public though. The civilians you refer to wouldn't be hired by any of those companies, so no they wouldn't be able to acquire any heavy weapons themselves above the Class 3 level (The M79 and M203 40mm grenade launchers are available as Destructive Devices with the $200 stamp, but every explosive round would also require a $200 stamp.) I don't think the smoke or the paint marking practice rounds are subject to the stamp though

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The Amendment does not limit arms to small arms. Cannons existed at that time so there was a basis should they have decided to make that distinction. Privateers regularly had cannons on their ships, showing that private citizens were allowed to own arms that were not "small arms." "Common sense" gun restrictions are straight from the left/antigunner’s playbook.

I have a canon

I’m talking about by today’s standards. For the common man who doesn’t want to get licensed or pay for special rights and registration, but own what arms are in common use. Again, all the hype about “bazookas” and “rocket launchers” and “fully automatic high capacity armor piercing exploding clipping clip” by the left is to pour their extremist sauce all over the discussion. I just didn’t expect to run into that here.

Can we shoot your cannon at a BS meetup, plzzzz?

You do know that private companies make tanks, jet fighters, and all the other weapons, they own these weapons until they are sold. Yes a civilian can own these weapons if they jump through the hoops

You can continue to call it leftist but that doesn't make it so. If someone takes a stance that doesn't allow for exceptions, that stance must hold true for extreme examples, however unlikely it is those examples might occur.

Are you saying that just because I own shares of Lockheed/Martin and Raytheon that I own military fixed wing aircraft?

Hey buddy, can I borrow your Black Hawk? I need to run to the store for some milk.

I dont think that's what they mean. Those are/were public companies started by private citizens and they produce goods that are sold to the militaries, governments, and private individuals.

Mom & pop gun shops, run by private citizens, in the US also get contracts to build/repair for foreign elites/militaries/private security companies as well. They are manufacturing and possessing highly restricted items and exporting them.

It's all about the hoops you're willing to jump through, but ultimately it is private citizens (and publicly traded and private companies) manufacturing and possessing these items until they are released to a government entity.

Sure thing, just let the company know that one of it's shareholders gave you permission!

Point taken, thanks for the clarification!
