Being able to own a car is not a Constitutional right, like with owning a gun. Being able to own a gun is part of the foundation of our nation. Our Founding Fathers would not have ratified our Constitution without our Second Amendment.
Nor would they have ratified in to permit semi-automatic rifles to be sold to 18 year olds in the current environment.
Huh? The AR15 is no different than the rifles of 1776.
Hahahahahaha!
Funniest thing you have ever written.
And most ignorant, which is amazing, given its competition.
The AR 15 is no different than the rifles of 1776.
How many rounds per second can be fired from a 1776 rifle?
3 rounds per minute for the 1790s rifles, if handled by an expert.
Same as an AR15! (If it jams after the 3rd round.)
you are an idiot
I do keep responding to you, so perhaps I do less than clever things.
So, genius, got any evidence to support your laughable claim about 1776 arms vs. AR15s?
My comment about the 1790s weapons was not off the top of my head, so if you had any evidence to support your position, I would love to see it.
Of course, the Puckle Gun was patented before 1776 and could fire 9 rounds per minute:
OTOH, there is no evidence that it was ever used in combat and it may be that they never made more than two of them. Oops.
The Kalthoff repeater was a better weapon, with a higher rate of firing.
https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Kalthoff_repeaterDespite having a remarkably fast fire rate for the time, the Kalthoff could never have become a standard military firearm because of its cost. The mechanism had to be assembled with skill and care, and took far more time to assemble than an ordinary muzzle-loader. Also, all the parts were interdependent; if a gear broke or jammed, the whole gun was unusable and only a specialist gunsmith could repair it. It needed special care; powder fouling, or even powder that was slightly wet, could clog it. Since it was so expensive to buy and maintain, only wealthy individuals and elite soldiers could afford it.
I've never seen evidence that it was used in America. Have you?
Oh, wait - what about the American-patented Belton flintlock?!
"Belton wrote that the musket could fire eight rounds with one loading,[1] and that he could support his claims "by experimental proof.""
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belton_flintlockThe Continental Congress chose not to buy them. And post-revolution, the Brits declined, as well.
"There are no records that indicate that the gun was ever supplied, and it is uncertain if or how exactly the Belton improvement operated."
To the point that the Belton flintlock is better known as the
Belton hoax.
LOL.
Knock yourself out, Ward.
And next, tell me about how sound travels through the aether and about the study of phrenology.
