Why is it totalitarian to think that every idiot in the country shouldn't be able to own a semi automatic rifle with a 30 round clip?


Hmmm, where to begin. It's not totalitarian to think whatever you want to think. It is totalitarian to impose those thoughts on everyone else, as the NY governor is saying he's contemplating doing.

Should (and that includes shouldn't) is a stupid word and it leads to stupid thoughts.

When semi-automatic weapons with 30 round clips are illegal, only the idiots in the country will own them. I'm always surprised when people (you, in this case) miss the obvious point that making something illegal doesn't make it go away.

I'll bet if your neighbor was walking back and forth into his house with one all the time you'd think differently


I'd bet you are wrong about this, if I had a realistic possibility of taking your money, betting here on the internet. Your "I'll bet" is a gratuitous attempt to put how you feel about your neighbors on Ms. Neeka, who really seems to be a magnet for a certain kind of poster recently. I surmise you are uncomfortable with your neighbors being armed. My guess is that many don't share your discomfort; I know I don't. You might want to consider moving and getting better neighbors. Or stay where you are and advocate the totalitarian view that your neighbors do as you say since you have such a clear view of the greatest good for the greatest number. You're a totalitarian (not that there's anything wrong with that), proclaim it, be proud, come out of the closet and own it.
