I’ve stopped. What’s the point? It’s not a debate. You cannot debate someone who’s positions are theoretical and undefined. It just goes in circles because you’re playing “guess what I’m thinking” and he won’t agree to much.

Whoever claimed that there was a line for allowable break-ins? Certainly not me. I think you may be confused (not surprisingly) by the line of what is rationally and reasonably needed for home protection.

It's time for this thread to expire due to natural causes. Parting words:

Luther, I live in Georgia, and I know exactly where Buford is (great HS football team, by the way). You need to move to Claxton, because while you may know a lot, you know zip-diddly-bipkis about guns, so you might as well move over to the Fruitcake Capitol of the World, where you'll fit right in.

You remember Hurricane Irma, right? Hit us as a Cat I. No power for a week. S.O. was 12 on/12 off for days. Took 2 days just to clear the trees and powerlines to get access to I-95. No power, no water, no fuel, no grocery stores, no nothing for the first 3 days. County lines and I-95 were shut down. You couldn't get there from here for almost a week. No re-entry. Yeah, the Governor screwed the pooch on that one, but...

In the meantime, those of us who were prepared simply fired up the generators and the grills, and started cooking and cleaning up. In my neighborhood, we have seven current/former LEO's, and we all know one another, so we formed up a team and made sure everyone got fed, and had water to drink, and was safe. Amidst confirmed reports of some generator thefts and burglaries of evacuated houses, and shady types creeping about after dark, etc...we had a simple solution. We set up a rotating watch after dark, with one of us always walking around the neighborhood...(brace yourself) armed to the teeth. Rifle (we all have AR's), mags, sidearm, mags, flashlight, and no hesitation about challenging anyone who showed up after dark. In the 4 or 5 days it took to restore a sense of normalcy, we had about half a dozen "what are you doing here's", no thefts, and no shootings. Thieves apparently have an aversion to those prepared to defend themselves, and their neighbors.

This is what you are rallying against here. Good people who won't put up with someone trying to harm them, or take what they worked so hard for. We're not your enemy. We're your neighbors. And if need be, your defenders.

So stop wasting your time here. Get back in the classroom where you belong. Think lofty thoughts. Inspire America's youth. Go make Nobel Prize winners and Rhodes Scholars. Do great things.

We'll make sure you live in a nation where you have the freedom to do just that.

If you think that is what I am rallying against, then you have completely missed the point.

They patrolled the neighborhood with AR’s. I thought you wanted those banned?

One. I'm thinking they could have been equally effective with shotguns and deer hunting rifles. (you guys have convinced me they are even more deadly, right?)

Two. I never advocated for confiscating the guns already legally purchased....so there's that.

You guys and your processing skills.

This is one of base fallacies set forth by the anti-AR crowd. There are multiple loadings in 223/5.56 that are specifically made and sold as hunting ammo. (and obviously that's not even bothering to list the other available calibers in the AR15, much less AR10 calibers)

Just to throw it out there I'm partial to the Barnes TSX offerings for hunting.

If the AR15 existed in the 1800’s it would have been in every saddle holster and wagon crossing the Midwest. People would say Win-who? I own two. At the core they are the same weapon. But due to the incredible flexibility of the platform they are configured for totally different tasks. It’s simply an amazing platform and there is a reason it’s jokingly called the adult male Barbie doll.

But it looks scary. One should not be allowed to have something that looks so intimidating.

I’ll just tell that it’s painted to match weed plants as a protest statement to take one of “the mans” implements of death and turn it against their principles. That should work. That’ll have their little heads spinning for a while.

Just as deadly. Also just as deadly as a handgun.

As I've said on here a bunch of times before, the reason gun rights people are so skeptical of gun control people is that gun control people are very specific in that they want ARs banned. Gun rights people know guns, and they know that ARs are no functionally different from traditional-looking hunting rifles.

So that brings up the obvious question, why do you want ARs banned, but not PaPaw's hunting rifle? They do the same thing. Hence the suspicion that once you get ARs banned (the low-hanging fruit), you'll come after rifles generally, and then maybe handguns.
