I Believe In The Right To Own A Gun [Gun Ownership]

@Sicarium The right to bear explosives? In my country nobody has the right to bear arms, and that’s the way we like it.

@newjaninev2 That's nice. Completely irrelevant to what I said, but nice, I guess.

@canusernamebemyusername Exactly

That is not true. Read up on US history. Read the Declaration of Independence, etc. As far as volume of fire, read https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/long-rifle-gun-helped-america-gain-its-independence-33311@NativeOregonian

@Ferrari21 What's not true? Yes, I have read it, even seen Thomas Jefferson's original draft in Philadelphia. As for rate of fire, I have seen contests during re-enactments when I lived in Delaware, the fastest was 13 shots in five minutes.

@Ferrari21 The Puckle Gun - advertised as the world's first machine gun - was patented in 1718. 73 years before the 2A ratified. In 1780, the Girandoni air rifle was developed for the Austrian military. It had a magazine capacity of (22) .46 caliber lead projectiles and was capable of emptying the magazine in 30 seconds shooting each lead ball at 1000 ft. per second. It's an idiotic argument to believe the founders were clueless to technological advances in weaponry. And I have no doubt that 200 years from now (plus or minus), today's modern firearms will be obsolete.
