Civilian ownership of fully automatic weapons

I think like this. Full spray or shot placement. Both have their merits. My kimber 45 will fire as fast as I pull the trigger for 10. My 7mm bolt demands accuracy but at 1650 ft lbs at 500 yds it is enough to take a caribou. The 12 gauge buckshot will take a crowd. That's my .02

I have a very dear mentor. Older. More experienced. He doesn't hesitate to roil people, have opinions and express feelings. He is always fighting with people and is very frustrated.

In my life experience, most people don't change, are focused on themselves and believe that he/she must have a feeling or an opinion on every subject.

So, someone with an opinion, who says that he is concealing an opinion, asks a question. Does he want other people's logic, feelings or opinions? Who knows? Probably not. He can't wait to express his opinion. Hmmm.

I simply listen. I want to know what works for me or can work for me.

Should people be allowed:
1. to own machine guns;
2. have two husbands;
3. own 5 cars;
4. make over $200,000;
5. have the right to commit suicide;
6. have the right to have an abortion?

Do you really care? Or do you simply have to express an opinion on every subject? And, if you really care, ask yourself why.

Don't think civilians should own machine guns, then don't own one.
Don't think that people should smoke, then don't you smoke.
Don't think that people should drink, then don't you drink.
Don't think that people should have coin collections, then don't you have one.

Don't like something, then pass a law.
If people don't obey the law, don't be surprised.

How many people do you think stop at stop signs, obey traffic lights at 2 am, pay taxes that are owed because it is the right thing to do? Darn few. Most comply because they subjectively feel that it is in their own best interest.
