Gun idolators do not want to resist tyranny. They want to be death squads for the right tyrant. Say, Trump in his 3d term.

Register all the members of the NRA.

They SHOULD be suspect.

That's not true! We'd like to be death squads for...well, anybody who seems nice enough.

It bugs me that, if you take that idea seriously, it mostly refers to rifles and the like. No one in their right mind tries to overthrow a country with handguns. (Also, no one in their right mind hunts with a handgun.)

I think its fine as long as they're only black powder weapons!

..Did you know felons can own black powder weapons? That you can get them MAILED to you? That's how not seriously the US takes black powder weapons. And, yes, they take forever to load, cold. But you can pre-load a six-shooter and additional extra barrels. An experienced user can change barrels in about a minute or two.

Amy Hunter? I call BS!

If you're talking black powder revolvers I think you might mean cylindars instead of barrels.

Cylindar changeout only takes seconds...

The NRA will shoot this down, like anything even vaguely not reeking of something masturbated on by a guy who likes to fondle an AR-15 while listening to an audiobook of "Mien Kampf" during the act.I am, unashamedly, very pro-second amendment. I think that reasonable people should have access to reasonable firearms for reasonable purposes. I hate the NRA. With all the hatred and bile an individual can possess, I hate that organization.

That is correct. Teabaggers love to point to the Swiss as a nation armed to the teeth, but the fact is that everyone not on active training or duty, though possessing impressive firearms, have all their ammo stored at the local base.

I don't think the NRA has that much pull here. I could be wrong about that, but Hawaii has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. As a non-gun owner, I have to get a permit just to get a firearm permit. They really don't like gun shooty things here.
