So I'm at work today and in walks one of my local customers, a Police Chief. We always talked, but never about guns. So today I get the nerve and ask him what he thought of the ban ending......
Chief: I'm glad
me: I feel exactly the same
chief: I don't see why anyone besides a terrorist would want one
me: Oh!? So you're FOR the ban then? (must've been some miscommunication)
chief: yea............I'm all for the right to keep and bear arms, but don't see the point in those things. Just don't see why anyone needs to have automatic weapons.
me: (look of confusion on my face)......automatic weapons??? Those things have been banned since 1934. These rifles are all semi-automatic.
chief: Yea but it's real easy to convert them to full automatic.
me: Yea, then if you do that, you've commited a felony and go to jail.
chief: Yea, I suppose.
me: Besides, what's wrong with these things. If the cops and military can have them, why can't civilians?? Are we inferior?? Don't forget Chief, when people fear their govt, there is tyranny, when the govt fears the people, there is liberty!!
Then he just looks at me like he lost interest. I couldn't believe that he was this dumb.
