Jim Halpert Explains

Because of its small calibre the AR15 type weapons are nowhere near as Lethal as your great grandpappy's deer rifle. Fortunately spree shooters are usually as ignorant of Ballistics as tv "news" characters. .556 or .223 are hot .22s. You can't use em in most states to hunt deer.

The whole premise is moot. The founding fathers wanted us as armed as the military so the government would fear the people.

The Second Amendment gave men the right to get drafted into all-volunteer militias at a moment's notice, and they had to pay for their own gun and bullets to boot.

Imagine if the US stuck with that, we wouldn't be 38 trillion dollars in debt.

Yes and no. At the time everyone owned firearms for personal protection from wild animals and hostile natives. They were also called up to fight in times of need, but we didn't have a standing army then and you could refuse to fight. You missed the well regulated part which requires gun training.

We'd still be in debt because our politicians are greedy idiots.

Um, no. Refusing getting pressed into service was not an option, as the Founding Father gave themselves the God-given right to draft the peons.

No they didn't. They knew that if you didn't want to fight you would be a liability. Much smarter than modern people.

Draft, conscripted, pressed into service... if you want any more synonyms since the meaning still seems to escape you at this point perhaps look them up yourself,,,,

The Continental Army and state forces relied heavily on volunteers lured by bounties, land grants, and patriotism. However, when quotas went unmet, states turned to drafts from the militia:

The Continental Congress (1778) urged states to draft men from their militias for one-year terms in the Continental Army.
Individual states passed laws for this. Examples include Connecticut (1777) detaching men for 10 months and Virginia calling for county levies.
Militias were often divided into "classes," with one or more men per class drafted by lot or rotation. Substitutes were commonly allowed (a drafted man could pay someone else to serve in his place).

It was very different than a draft.

Don't be too sure

Guns kills people. We should ban guns. Planes were responsible for 9/11.

We must ban planes. Flying is Fascist.

Since many on the left already think the AR15 is some sort of super rifle, here is a plan to really anger them. You can keep you AR lower and buy a 450 Bushmaster or 458 SOCOM upper. A supersized upgrade with either choice. When the left figures out you went from a 55 grain to a 600 grain round, they will really lose their peanut sized minds. You're welcome

Lol now you gave yourself the ability to talk for all your kind. There went the no kings lie.

The majority of gun deaths are from handguns, so this argument is misleading

The meme isn't about handguns. It IS about irrational people and their fear of scary black guns that account for less than 3% of murders committed with guns.

Then it is the argument of anti-gunners that is misleading, because AR-15s are always their primary ban targets.

The majority of gun deaths are suicides. Over 1/2. Of what's left over half are crooks shot by cops, other crooks or victims. Giving you less people a year dying from gunshot wounds than die from automobile accidents caused by cell phones.

Suicides account for most overall gun deaths
