Here’s another one to add.
“This year will go down in history. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.” – Adolf Hitler, 1935
Just before disarming everyone who the Nazis didn’t feel should be armed and then rounding them up for extermination.
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and regulated militia being the best security of a free country; but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, shall be compelled to render military service in person.” James Madison’s first draft of the Second Amendment, June 8,1789.
If they had only adopted that draft, the Constitutionality of the entire body of the current gun laws wouldn’t even be in question. The vast majority of them simply wouldn’t exist.

1- As you seem to construct a direct relationship between gun-opponents and Nazi-fascism… Did you know, that the German hunting law which is still valid is created by Gestapo-founder Hermann Goering?

Actually Matthias, I wasn’t equating anything to Nazi -fascism. I was quoting Adolf Hitler and then recounting what happened after his gun control plan went into effect. I wasn’t equating anything, I was stating historical fact. BTW the city of New York under the wonderful Mayor Dinkins, used the records of registered gun owners as a list of houses for the SWAT team to raid to confiscate all of the previously registered and legally purchased semi automatic rifles. $2000 AR-15 Target rifles were confiscated from their lawful owners without compensation.

6- I looked up Google on the AR-15 and was directed to Wiki (yes.. I know
), which describes it as:
“The AR-15 is a lightweight, air-cooled, magazine fed, autoloading, centerfire rifle. The original ArmaLite/Colt AR-15 was a selective-fire prototype submitted for consideration as a military infantry rifle, and is distinguished from later civilian-model AR-15 and AR-15A2 rifles marketed by Colt Firearms.”
So just regarding the wonderful civilized state that Guiliani brought to most of NYC: What the f*ck do you need (today) such a kind of weapon for as a private person?

7, to keep *ssholes like you out of my home, that’s why.

“What the f*ck do you need (today) such a kind of weapon for as a private person?”
Matthias.
This is where you miss the point. It isn’t about a “need” it is about a “right”. A person does not need to utilize any of their constitutionally guarenteed rights and liberties, but those rights and liberties are there for good reasons. A person does not need to use his right to free speech to speak for or against an issue they believe in. In the case of fiearms, it is to protect our Constitutionally guarenteed right to change our own governemet if we wish- to revolt.

Well. Matthias we have national rifle championship competitions, sort of like the German Shutzenfests, in the US. They require use of a rifle based on, with only accuracy modifications, modern military firearms. The AR-15 is desirable because it weighs less and recoils less than the larger caliber M1 Garands, and M14 based M1As. This allows smaller individuals to compete than would be able to otherwise. Likewise there are a lot of people that use them for hunting varmints such as prairie dogs (a large breed of gopher that have HUGE colonies called towns. Prairie dog populations have to be controlled because the holes that they dig represent a hazard to cattle and large game animals that graze on the prairies.)
If need is a deciding factor as to one’s ability to own something, why does anyone need a car that does 130 mph? Or a motorcyle that does 140? They arrested a man for doing 131 MPH on a 65 MPH stretch of urban highway in a 2001 BMW M3.
As you will notice if you actually READ the google definition, you will see that it describes the Armalite AR-15 as a prototype. That means it wasn’t a production item. When it was adopted, it was adopted as the M16.
BTW Dinkins was the POS Democratic Mayor of NYC before Rudy. While Dinkins was busy confiscating private property from law abiding citizens, the criminals were running wild. When Rudy became Mayor, there were over 2400 murders a year in NYC. When he left, there were about 600 per year. It went from the most dangerous city in the US, to having the lowest per capita murder rate in the country.

10- So let me rephrase my question:
What do you need as a private person such a kind of weapon for, having it stored at home?
“If need is a deciding factor as to one’s ability to own something, why does anyone need a car that does 130 mph? Or a motorcyle that does 140? They arrested a man for doing 131 MPH on a 65 MPH stretch of urban highway in a 2001 BMW M3.”
Well, although this being something that would be (non-constitutionwise) allowed in Germany, that is sth. that I don’t understand either…
Besides, my comment on Rudy was not meant in a sarcastic way. I know that he did a good job for the city.

8- “to keep *ssholes like you out of my home, that’s why.”
…don’t worry… your smell already does…
