the Piers Morgan case [split]

Both weapons will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger and can take magazines of any size.

How many shots do hunters need? How many shots does one need to defend their property? How many shots are required to fulfill the spirit of the second amendment?

How many shots does one need to defend their property? How many shots are required to fulfill the spirit of the second amendment?

You can't theorize how many shots it will take in self-defense or in defending your property unless you can accurately predict how many may be used by those who are attempting to harm you or take your property. Those people are unlikely to be following any laws that attempt to curtail their usage of firearms.

How many shots do hunters need?

Most states have restrictions on the size of the magazines you can hunt with. I think its four in Losisiana, which most reasonable people would say is too little for self-defense purposes. By the way, I know someone whose wife hunts with an AR-15 because it has so little recoil and she would be in big trouble if she got caught with a 30-round magazine in the gun while she was out hunting.

How many shots does one need to defend their property? How many shots are required to fulfill the spirit of the second amendment?

That's what it all comes down too, not violating the "spirit of the Second Amendment".

I just stumbled upon the most informative and honest news piece I've ever seen in the MSM that explains the gun debate in a way that folks who are ignorant about guns can understand. Here's the link to the 1999 60 Minutes video:

I have no comments to offer, but pay close attention at the 9:00 mark when they get to the crux of the matter.

sorry, but I've decided guns are now a third-rail topic and we'll not be entertaining those thoughts any further.
