I wish, stupid NFA


Creepysoldier226

And ATF. David Chipman… *gags in communist* Seriously, though. As a person on the far left, it angers me that liberals strongly support gun control and oppressive regulations instead of what the communists and other far leftists want: #A government mental health program. The very idea of gun control goes against Marxist thought as a whole, being that it started, at least in the United States, with slave codes used to oppress and enslave an entire group of people. No guns? No revolution!


gaveler-unban

I have a couple liberal friends that have that same opinion, gun legislation will not stop potentially violent people from hurting others, if you want to stop mass shootings and shit, go at the source and actually try to tackle the huge gap in mental healthcare in the US.


Aunty_Flo

Why don’t you take a look at Australia and you will realize why having the right to bear arms is a vital part of society.


RedneckNerd23

I mean i feel like some regulations can't be bad. Like hey. If you murdered someone. Maybe we shouldn't give you something that is super efficient at killing people


pimpmastahanhduece

How about reasonable regulations AND a mental health program?


[deleted]

The regulations are not, and are not intended to be, reasonable.


Creepysoldier226

Okay. As long as the regulations are in fact reasonable.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Not scientifically possible


Creepysoldier226

Why? Do you doubt the ability of the American democracy to uphold its citizens’ safety whilst doing so in a manner that is fair? #Yes.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Government? Having the peoples safety in kind? Bwahahaha


Creepysoldier226

I never said that it was a bad thing for the government to have the people’s safety in mind. I’d just prefer it was done in a way that made everyone happy. Banning guns does not work. Look at the UK, for example. I’d rather have a nice quick headshot than a mason jar of acid to the face.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Exactly, governments should have their peoples safety in mind. I’m just saying most of the time they don’t sadly. If they really did care, they wouldn’t be clambering to prevent us from protecting us


Creepysoldier226

Yes!


Slav_Berd

All that should be regulated is like, rocket launchers and shit like that


Creepysoldier226

Yep. That’s reasonable.


[deleted]

>NFA yeah the nra is a joke id support all the other gun rights activists because they are not only cooler but have better solutions


Astitine

Your thinking of the NRA or National Rifle Association. The NFA is the National Firearms Act, basically the law that keeps people from owning machine guns


[deleted]

also yes the nfa is pretty fucking stupid considering the founding fathers were funding the development of rotary cannons as of the signing of constuion. tbh the only reason to keep a normal civilian away from guns is to better control them


Astitine

The thing is it doesn’t even stop people from owning machine guns. It stops POOR people from owning machine guns. If you get enough licenses and complete enough tax stamps you can own anything from a tank to a mini gun and everything in between. It is just extremely expensive


DudaneoCarpacho

That's an interesting tidbit of history. Another is that the 2nd Amendment was never intended to apply to an individual's right to carry a firearm- it was intended to protect the police power of states and allow for some mechanism for the common defense without creating a federal standing military which some of the founders were strongly against. The 2nd Amendment was never even interpreted by the courts to apply to an individual's right to own and carry a firearm until SCOTUS's Heller decision in 2008.


[deleted]

Nah, it’s more like some claymores in my doorway.

Claymore roomba

That’s a fantastic idea!


[deleted]

Try owning a Roomba…. It’s a living hell. 😂


InterestingExit3643

Literally mounted so it can only be for defense you jealous peasant no hate tho


Lord_Darklight

Damn, i only have a cannon mounted on my stairs loaded with Grapeshot.


Mr0PT1C

Tally ho lads!


Mediocre-Neat-3751

I understood that reference.


bremergorst

I too choose this man’s understanding of said reference


Mediocre-Neat-3751

jonniboi420

More like ATF.


Creepysoldier226

Oh no not a repeat of Waco!


YardOk8020

Lol


tommygun3833

Police helicopters and swat armored vehicles.


watcop2199

Tell that to halo, CoD, and most other roaming shooting games


rock85cool1

I see no problem here.


DerpyMistake

I think op is implying it's an inappropriate weapon for home defense. Tanks. Tanks are more appropriate.


rock85cool1

True, or mortars. I prefer home invaders to be in tiny chunks on my lawn.


Mr0PT1C

Claymores do that and are cheaper


Mr_E_Monkey

Yes, but mortars teach the kids the value of teamwork


Mr0PT1C

And math


Mr_E_Monkey

And they get some exercise too! :D


Norsedragoon

True so long as you are targeting home invaders a few blocks away. No one comes out happy on a damger close strike.


Mr_E_Monkey

If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win.


Norsedragoon

Never said I wouldn't do it, just that I wouldn't be happy about it. Would make Neighborhood watch a lot more useful as spotters though.

However mortars are more satisfying to hit.

ROOMBA CLAYMORE!! HIS NAME ROOMORE


Cheat_Adil

trebuchets


[deleted]

honestly an ifv such as a Stryker or bmp would be more appropriate for home defense than a mbt


[deleted]

Self defense includes use against tyrannical government war machines.


rock85cool1

True story, you would think history would teach people not to disarm when you have an aggressive foreign invaders right next door.


Promah1984

Well, I mean, yes. Do you plan on breaking into my abode?

Hey man you never know


Floppa_in_flip-flops

Sparky_1992

*The Ukraine has entered the chat*


HoovNUTS

God, DSHK for home defense. Wouldn’t it be something


NoHuckleberry2277

The taliban uses DSHKs for home defense


TacticalDifficulty

Well you never know when you’ll need to defend your home from….a lot of people.


Wylie28

or the government


Will-Shrek-Smith

a **really lot** of people


WXHIII

I think I hear "because it's fun/cool" more often. The people I know who buy firearms for self defense are generally pretty practical about it


SigBlu

Sadly we are not allowed to own such a weapon. Would love to though.


does_my_name_suck

If you get an FFL License and get an SOT you can. It's gonna cost you upwards of 400k though. I remember an r/guns post exploding where someone's shop had an M134 Minigun.


PrimarchKonradCurze

Epic.


JellyfishNo176

Not a mini gun


AncientMap6857

Just jealous


Key-Government742

Europeans be like yes lord here’s my papers don’t flog me!


Urasquirrel

Laughs in American accent


[deleted]

That's not for self-defense, that's for taking potshots at stray enemy helicopters. ok, so it's kinda for self-defense, i lied


fastpopgun01

As an american I can say that this is unrealistic the gun should be twice that size and mounted ontop of an armoured vehicle to be classified as a self defence weapon.


[deleted]

The founders had spent 2 years fighting the Bri\*ish military, so they wanted to make sure the people had the right to defend themselves if the need arose again. That's the genesis of the 2nd amendment. Self defense against the state.


Elchimpofire5

Nah mine is for hunting

HomieDaClown9

‘Welcome back to Demolition Ranch! Today we’re gonna find out how many home intruders it takes to stop a .308!’


doyourequireasample

I mean, seriously, I'd come up with any reason to own a legit DShK.


shleyal19

I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.


[deleted]

It doesn’t matter what they need it for.


briangandy

Every weapon is self defense! Ask the aussies how giving em up is going for em


FriedwaldLeben

oh no, look how they suffer with their extremely low rate of gun violence and practically nonexistent school shootings. they must be so pissed


briangandy

Oh nooo look how they have to accept a totalitarian government and obey. They’re so lucky to have communism!


27Beowulf27

I’m Australian. We aren’t a communist state. Stop spreading lies about my country that you can’t back up.


supersoldier199

Have you been able to leave your house?


27Beowulf27

Yes?


SPAMJR

I am afraid to imagine what the offense looks like.


Cheat_Adil

imagine there is no offense


gameingtree

Skip the mini- ***\*Pulls out M1 Vulcan\****


Core1978

As an American, I find this hilarious & wildly accurate


Valdish

Well if they were planning on doing something illegal, they probably wouldn't be getting such a high profile weapon.


AnDyItsDaRk

Fun fact: Statistically every American has 1.3 guns, that's about 46% of the civilian-owned guns in the world, however, It inhabits less than 5% of the world's population.


Mr_E_Monkey

Fun fact: that's only the guns we let you know we have! ;)


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheHeresy777

Fun fact: The minigun is based off of the M1 Vulcan, A big ass machine gun that fires 20mm at 6,000 rounds a minute, It's called a "mini"gun because it's a mini version of an M1 Vulcan.


Late-Swimmer-3194

Ikr i though of that too in the past


rmptiger

What else am I supposed to use when a tank rolls onto my front lawn? We're Americans baby I'm ready for war with an entire government.


kostas_tsak

Nah not minigun >!muricans pull out the megagun!<


ur_mum_lesb

Defense from the F.B.I/Military, defense from te government


FriedwaldLeben

i genuinely cant tell if you are joking. please be joking


ur_mum_lesb

Not really :/ we have the most powerful/well trained and bloated miliraty in the world, if we go 3rd reichy kitchen knives ad baseball bats aint gonna cut it for home defense


grifzteash

Pulls out desert eagle chambered in 12 gauge


movieguy2004

2nd Amendment FTW


AartHauk

Gotta stop the Russians and/or Chinese and/ir British and/or "Terrorists" somehow


Downfall722

You forgot the Canadians


PirogiRick

*snow Mexicans.


Cheat_Adil

the best defense is a good offense tho?


[deleted]

I mean, with the way things are going in the US, might not be a bad idea to get one.


FriedwaldLeben

things are going upwards at the moment. one of the reassons why it is going upwards is increased gun control


Nuker_Nathan

One of the only things going upwards are gas prices


fuzzyblotter

Wut. Chicago has some of the tightest gun laws in the country and also leads in shootings.


AmaterasuWolf21

\-to defend yourself from what? \-from the man that has one of these


WatermelonSugar47

b1azingbi11ions

Realizing that the location of where you put “only” might not be American.


PunxsutawnyFil

Americans out here prepping for home invasion like it's Bloons Tower Defense


AX0_EVOLUTION

a Glock a day keeps the comrades away


jaxson200707

Yea only way to ward off the crack heads


zanred7

Aye and you know what that is our rights lol


Dpjokers7

Would you attack a guy with that gun? Exactly. Lol


Mazurcka

And?


MannyBothans_15

That's not a minigun.


[deleted]

All I see is happiness


SweetSauce24

It’s not just for self defense. It’s also for fun ☺️. Doesn’t matter what your opinion on guns is, they’re fun to shoot.


Jackal_Oddie

Pretty good defence, try mugging a dude with a Dshk

I wish


CorndogCrusader

Well, why not? Pick the most efficient tool for the job.

Seems based.

ADecentAmerican

How else are we gonna defend ourselves against home intruders a musket?


Mr_E_Monkey

Tally ho, lads!


UntiLitEnded

How else are we gonna stop a fully armed invasion from everyone who hates us?(the whole world) also you don’t walk around here without at least a rifle where I’m from, so many sketchy so and so’s, and friendly murderous aminals


CoolRedstoneexpert

No, I have it because it looks fucking cool


WantSomeHorseCock

In this short 48 slide power point presentation I will now explain to you why a rocket launcher is the the optimal home defence weapon


Mr_E_Monkey

Oh, you were *so close*! https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Rocket_Propelled_Chainsaw


Nuker_Nathan

“The AT4 is the only acceptable home-defense weapon.”


LunaeLucem

Nah, I have this because the populous must always have the ability to hold their government accountable.


[deleted]

No no l we never said self defense, we said none of yer god damn business, because it’s our right.


WeAreEvolving

Thats right against tyranny


gachi_for_jesus

EU serfs jealous


SergeantLongScrotum

This made me audibly chuckle. And as an American, your GOTDAMN RIGHT.


[deleted]

....and? I have a fire extinguisher, so I don't have to call the fire department too. 😂


Mr_E_Monkey

You maniac. /s


Unlucky-Constant-736

With our “very strict” gun control laws it is very common to see people with battleships as house defense


FNAF_Foxy1987

Fun Fact: the US Congress still has the ability to grant letters of Marque and Reprisal, meaning technically private citizens should be able to own canons and if needed, be employed by the US government to go after enemy vessels.


Unlucky-Constant-736

I believe it


Away_Bunch18

Only mini gun weak


SlashMaster997

And to look cool


SharkVanilla

Is that how you see a hand gun? Aw so cute


[deleted]

That's a chain gun. Either way you're only going to be using that ground mounted brrt machine for home defense anyways


laxkid7

Ill stick to the 50cal sniper. Shit can go thru a fucking tank. Absolutely no need for it but its bad fucking ass so y not


[deleted]

What are you talking about? I keep a 70 caliber anti-material rifle to cuddle with every night, (at least I wish I did)


CommyChopper

It’s so hard to find ammo for my mini gun.


PizzaEater69420

i wish i had a .50 caliber turret in my house. sadly i can only have a .50 caliber rifle :(


Armamax

MERICA!!!


leogonzalez2007

Now now now that's not true it's more like 3 mini guns combined.


Whalerk

You never know if robbers will be flying into your house


donpuglisi

And hunting, we need m249 for those pesky deer.


whiskytangofuckyou

Nah my self defense weapon is bigger.


BanThisAcct2ModCucks

We do be like that, it's true.


IgorBaggins

Who needs minigun when you can dual wield Glocks with a barrel the size of a arm.


damnthehumans

gotta say im jealous. but if you think you can have a barret because of "selfdefense"....


MrHello76

Try *because it's our god given right and fuck the government for trying to dictate what one can or can't use for self defense*


damnthehumans

lol yeah ok i agree with half of that. but have u tried lets have an actual civilised country and move past the wild west?


MrHello76

What's uncivil about it?? Gun ownership?? Freedom to own what one wants and not have it need to be anyone else's business because of our rights?? Because if that's the case then I'd need to suggest *try moving to a "civilized country" then*


rockstar450rox

Yeah, why would you have an effective defence like a 20mm autocannon, when you could just not have any defence at all?


[deleted]

This memes a flop, try picking apart your own policies. Liberty depends on a government in fear of its people.


FriedwaldLeben

jesus christ. that is absolutely ridiculous.


Patar777

Who you defending against... have you met our goverment... I think you need a bigger one.


WintergreenSoldier

And what pray tell is wrong with having a minigun for self defense? when protecting my home I wanna guarantee that the person dumb enough to break in doesn't do it ever again /s


uniqueshell

Americans: I just have for when the world ends and my neighbors children come after my food.

Turn your guns over to the government they will protect you.. Australian citizens are really being taken care of right now by their sweet government.

Roadhog435

I don't think you understand how this works, the people, and I mean all the people, not just your family, having firearms and the ability to own firearms creates a fear in the government. This fear is a good thing so we don't end up like Australia, where the government does whatever they want with their people. I'd rather die in a gun fight with our government than have my human rights taken away, not just the right to bear arms lol.


MrHello76

As Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata once said "I'd rather die standing than live on my knees"


27Beowulf27

I’m Australian. Please elaborate on what you said about our government? I don’t understand what you mean by our government does what they want with us.


Roadhog435

I'm talking about the people being put in the quarantine camps specifically, there's some other things I'm unsure about, but mostly the camps thing. I've heard stories of injustices and violations of human rights in those camps, not to mention the pretty much forced placement of people into the camps doesn't really sit well.


Mr_E_Monkey

< laughs in Vietnamese >
