23. More problems with you post...
"My vote doesn't put holes in people's bodies."

What is the relevancy of this? A constitutional right cannot be abridged by subterfuge and confiscatory taxes. See how this works, now?

Ah, "reasonable limits" again: "A person hunting wild game does not need an ar-15 to hunt..."

You really need to catch up. The AR-15 platform is now becoming a hunting weapon, just as the Remington 742 (an auto-loader in far more powerful chamberings) was when I was a kid. And you should know by now that your notion of "need" does not pass constitutional muster. And you should know also that the Second Amendment is not about hunting (less than 20% of all gun owners).

"...and a person "defending their family" with a handgun doesn't need a 30 round magazine."

Again, you get into trouble by proscribing "needs" as "reasonable limits." Who gives a rat's ass if someone has a 30, 40, 50 round clip in defense of their family? You wanna tell someone how to defend their family? I guess so, but you will be opposed if you back legislation dictating someone elses need.

BTW, you (and others) do NOT have a right to "live in a sane society." Rights are recognized for individuals, so no "precedence" can take place.





and a person "defending their family" with a handgun doesn't need a 30 round magazine.
