amazing how many so called "Americans" scream to give up their freedoms.
Yup, I’m willing to give up my rights to large capacity magazines and other military-style weaponry that you guys seem to get a hard-on over. (BTW, are they critical in “home defense”? Why? Can’t you guys hit a target with all your practice?)
When you say "military style", do you mean black?
But if you want to discuss firearms ideal for home defense, rifles, shotguns and large handguns all are ideal in different homes.Small caliber rifles, like the typical AR-15 are far more accurate than hand guns.

:S
No idea what you’re trying to say here, but the law has long recognized there are reasonable limits on freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and so on. Only gunners (and the nonsensical precedence-free decrees of Thomas et al) insist the 2nd amendment cannot be subject to similar reasonable limits (…except when they so decree- like no guns in Supreme Court chambers.)
Except that military grade weapons and automatic weapons are highly restricted. Require special licensing to possess legally

False (and data-free).

So why do you pack heat? Maybe you should move.
Why? I have worked hard, made smart choices and grew up in a stable, 2 parent home. The results are my family being financially stable, able to comfortably afford to live in a nice, safe, upscale town, drive luxury cars, fly 1st class for vacations and even purchase high quality firearms for both recreation and personal protection

Well, due to corrupt-NRA-pushed limits on collecting data and gun registration, nobody really knows, but we see the tragic results pretty clearly:
protecting the rights of law abiding Americans should be everyones goal
68,000 guns illegally trafficked by U.S. dealers over 5 years were used in hundreds of shootings, ATF says 13,600 illegal transfers out of over 20,000,000, a fraction of a percent, IF the 68,000 in 5 years is accurate, citation please?
