Do you know the difference? Just looked it up. Clips feed magazines. Never used a clip. We used to call the magazine that fed the 22 rifles that my cousin and I had, a clip. I never thought about it all these years until now. The Army always said magazine but I never gave a thought to anything else. Anyhow, I was an expert on the M16. Once I got overseas the idiots gave me an M14 which is what the Marines used. That was 1968. A bit heavy to lug around. Still, better to have the rifle than to be detailed to the M60. I detailed to that during heavy combat. Didn't even know how to load it but figured it out on the first try. It's self evident.
The basic laws, mostly made before we were born, work fine. 90% of the laws made over the last 50 years were written specifically to enslave, disarm, and disenfranchise. Most of them need to be repealed.
Yes I prefer a weapon that a single shot will usually do for many uses. The 270 Winchester Model 70 and the 308 Savage lever action are couple of my favorites along with a sweet little Browning knock off of the old model 92 winchester. Execpt it shoot the .357 rounds instead of 32-20. But that is not good enough for all uses. 1. When I was running my ranch in NE Oregon, I took it on to encourage geese to nest there. The first year I had one pair that did indeed raise a batch of goslings. I raise the capacity of the pond to about 5 feet deeper and that resulted in a bit more area, moving the edge right over close to a grain field on either side of the pond. The Cattails had to readjust to the new, but they did quickly. Well anyway those Geese and their young returned the next spring and they all setup camp. I had 5 nesting pair that summer. They had grain right there and were doing well. I kept a close eye on them as the Coyotes were too. Then the friggin Coyotes got one young one. Dammit! The next evening I set up watch over the Grain field from a hill side about 300 yards off. Sure enough, the pack of Coyotes game sneaking in from the far side maybe 550 yards off, working their way very stealthy toward the feeding young. The Ganders were on Duty but they could not see the Pack sneaking through the Wheat. The geese were maybe 275 yards from me, so I let the coyotes come to just over 300 as I judged it. Then I opened up, rapid fire with a 30 round clip in the Ranch gun. Dropped Two of the seven before they knew what the fuck was up, then they turned tail. On their way out, I dropped one more. I did not see the coyotes in the area again that year. Not sure how many geese I had practicing flight training that fall but it was sort of cool to watch then get ready to migrate. I was damned pleased. Yes, a whole bunch returned and we did the same drill on the next batch of Coyotes next season and the next. We lived there seven years before we then moved to Bandon. Probably had over 200 pairs of nesting geese calling that ranch home. I don't think I could have done it without that Mini14 Ranch gun. It works about like an AR-15, might not be quite as bad looking, but still... Now I could tell you another story of why you need some serious fire power on a boat too. But I will leave that story for another day. I will just say the threat of being well armed is usually enough to win the day. It will be the shits when the bad guys know we legally cannot be.
More accurately, specifically to kill enemies of the USA. Not to hunt. Not to shoot targets. Not to stop home invaders. The Second Amendment was enacted so all Americans had the means to kill those who threaten the security of our country, whether it be foreign or domestic forces (like the British).
You do know Madison authored the 2nd amendment. I posted his intent her in this forum. It seems you ignored it. As you did the work to get to the original intent by the Court in DC vs Heller.
I think I am done here. Sometimes I think poeple's use of obtuse is far worse than puny ass little insults.
Shoot a coyote for a goose and they're safe for a day. Teach a goose to shoot a coyote and they are safe for life.
This is utter nonsense. Alexander Hamilton would be disgusted with the author using his name to perpetuate such an obvious lie.
