Iced said, August 06, 2012, 03:26:51 pmIf you are being issued a grenade launcher you should be first be checked out to see if you have mental issues that make issuing you weapons a no-no.OK, lets talk about that grenade launcher.You showed us this linkhttp://www.autoweapons.com/products/destructivedevices.htmlStating several times how easy it was to get a grenade launcher here, so lets pretend I'm going to treat myself to a grenade launcher and I can't live without that attractive green one thats a steal at just under 2000 dollars.I decide to order it and... oh whats this on the home page of that website? NFA rules apply, so that means QuotePrivate owners wishing to purchase an NFA item must obtain approval from the ATF, obtain a signature from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) who is the county sheriff or city or town chief of police (not necessarily permission), pass an extensive background check to include submitting a photograph and fingerprints, fully register the firearm, receive ATF written permission before moving the firearm across state lines, and pay a tax. The request to transfer ownership of an NFA item is made on an ATF Form 4.[14] (thats from wiki)ATF is Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a FEDERAL government agency. And a lot of people have to check me out and give permission and I would have to be fingerprinted. Oh no, I refuse to do that. So I dont get that adorable grenade launcher.And no, no government needs to know more about me than they already do.

The mugshot was taken right before he appeared in court 3 days later. His facial hair growth is the same in both photos.It's funny because it's not.
It's obviously fake hair that was added to his face by the gay socialist Zionist Muslims, from the order of Xenu.wake up sheeple
you need to get FINGERPRINTED to get a grenade launcher?!!? OH NO that completely defeats my narrative and point !! oh wait, no it doesnt. you also have to undergo some "tests" to get a semi auto rifle, it doesnt change a thing if you are fingerprinted if you then use it to blow up a school bus.holmes passed the test for a semi auto rifle, maybe his finger prints are somewhere!! That sure helped!!cmon, stop acting as if everyone is retarded.
I don't even see anything preventing you from getting five of them, either, at least not at a glance, separatedly or not. As long as they have your fingerprints and a background check, you can collect them like stamps ? I mean, if the background checks out fine, what seems to be the problem, officer ?
Honestly, do you really think they're going to remove something like that for people that actually buy it and are of ACTUAL sound minds because there are bad weeds? Antique/actual sharpened SWORDS are being sold in markets legally, and I'm willing to bet those have been put to ill use, but distribution continues on them.
- Who buys those things and are of actual sound minds, and how is that considered normal- Who buys four of them period
Who said they had to buy four of them? I figured we were talking about the grenade launcher, not the semi autos. And no, swords can't fire explosive rounds, they can be thrown, easily used, hidden, and they're pretty good at, you know, cutting things. Also lol even if a grenade launcher does more damage via explosives, does this mean there's a ratio of people that can and cannot be killed for it to be an "issue".
I bought this one in red, i use it in my living room to hold flowers. the black one is the one im saving for when the mexicans invades america and we need to kill them all.
You can't seriously be comparing a grenade launcher to a sword. What's next, comparing a tank to a kitchen knife ? Because a good kitchen knife is just as good as the sword you described. It's not like the number of people it can kill at once is an issue.As for buying four of them, Holmes bought a shotgun, an assault rifle etc. times four.
I suppose that was a bad comparison. I'll just bluntly state my point. Getting rid of/removing privelages to things like this generally does not bode over well because a lot of higher ups/a handful of people in a high position or with the association that distributes them ask for results, they ask for statistics, numbers, ratios. Flat out banning grenade launchers without reasons like those would probably bother a lot of said people.
Lemme tell you my sword can shoot explosive rounds. It's custom made though. And no, I don't think civilians should have grenade launchers, but there's no way to just flat out remove them due to the way the distributors would be about, say, profits and such. They WOULD want statistics, and they'd grasp for every straw to continue selling said product because it makes money.

They're speaking strictly of the grenade launcher. While I agree it shouldn't really be sold like this, I don't think just flat out banning it/removing it would boil over well due to...stinginess and profits made. Granted I doubt the audience behind a grenade launcher is really, uh...big, but if it makes any smidgeon of profit, they'll want it to be there.

Flat out banning grenade launchers without reasons like those would probably bother a lot of said people.The reason would be that they were assault weapons. they are done to cause assault on people.They banned antrax( or i hope they did ).They banned slavery ( and there were a lot of americans mad about that to this day ) Something being controlled bothering someone is not a good reason to prevent it. I bet a lot of people are bothered that they cant get coke legally. And that at least can only harm one person at a time.
damn, here we give our 10 fingers scanned + retina just like that.why are you afraid to give your government your fingerprint? do you plan to commit some crime?
