Today’s installment of why I am reticent to support the US military anymore, the Muslim Marine is here to tell you why you shouldn’t own guns that look like the ones he used to carry in uniform.
I’m not questioning is military service, I am adding it to my list of examples of why former military service doesn’t mean a person is a patriot or great American or their opinion is worth shit.
I will question his knowledge of guns. Just because the USMC taught him to shoot their issued weapons doesn’t me he knows shit beyond that.
That’s a big fucking difference. The government decided that in 1934. One round fired for every action of the trigger has been the line in the sand between military and civilian legal (without an NFA tax stamp) for nearly a century.
Everything else is irrelevant. But don’t question his superior Marine Corps knowledge of guns.
This argument is an automatic disqualifier for me. It is the argument of statists and tyrannical bullies.
It translates to “you will lose if you go up against our superior firepower so just accept the restriction of your rights so we don’t have to hurt you.”
It’s also wrong by the way.
It’s right in the strictest sense that an AR won’t’ kill an M1 Abrams MBT or F-16. But it will do a good job of taking out the pilots, tank crew, aircrew, maintenance crew, supply crew, refueling crew, etc, that is needed to operate, repair, reload, and refuel those great weapons on war. A bunch of M1s and F-16s sitting empty and broken with nobody to drive or fly them are not much of a threat.
And lastly, if the AR-15 is such a horrible weapon of war that shouldn’t be in civilian hands, why would it be ineffective against the military?
But I digress…
This is a very slippery slope to banning any centerfire rifle ammo. Either he knows this and his intent is much more nefarious than just banning AR-15s or he doesn’t know this and he’s not nearly the gun expert that he claims to be.
Personally, I want my self-defense guns to destroy flesh and practically leave an ‘irreparable’ large exit wound. The technical term for that is “terminal ballistics.” You want to stop the threat at quickly as possible to doing as much damage as you can.
As for the range question, I might not have a need for 500 yards of self-defense. I can’t speak for others on this topic. But given that I have posted before about Antifa and other groups stocking up on body armor, having a centerfire rifle for self-defense is an absolute necessity.
First of all, the AR-15 is not a battlefield weapon.
Second, I’ve seen videos from Seattle and Portland, and what I saw were people launching IEDs. I’m not sure if an AR-15 is enough. I’d actually like some battlefield weapons to repel angry mobs armed with explosives. An M249 SAW is on my list of wants.
The What-If game isn’t how we decide civil liberties.
Perhaps I shouldn’t chuckle at the irony of arguing “we should suspend civil liberties a little to save some loves” coming from a Muslim.
If this guy was just another asshole with an opinion, I don’t think I would care.
But this guy is standing on his superior knowledge and expertise in guns and weapons of war from his Marine Corps experience to tell you why he should decide what you should be allowed to own to defend yourself.
Oh yeah, and if you think you’re going to defend your freedom with that super dangerous AR-15 that is also not powerful enough to take on the US military with it, he’ll drive a Main Battle Tank through your house or kill you with a Hellfire from a Reaper to prove his point.
The Left sure does love a Junta.
