Congratulations, you said the word that puts your quote in proper context. The Second Amendment isn't about sportsmen or hunting.  A FUDD is happy to have his thirty-thirty or ought-6 and a single 20 round box of cartridges and doesn't understand why anyone would need more than that. I choose not to hunt but enjoy eating meat and am not a hypocrite about the killing of food animals. If I decided I wanted a Machine Gun and am willing to pay the huge markup on them the Government would have no problem giving me permission. I've already passed the requirement to own other devices in the same category. I don't want one but if another Citizen does, I have no problem with it. It is arguably unconstitutional to regulate any firearm but no one will challenge it in Court!

You grew up under a Monarchy even if it is little more than a figurehead from the past. We are told we are free people who can have just about anything we work hard enough for. Our cultures are more different than you understand.

A rifle that is used lawfully thousands of times a day by its owners is demonized because some liberal goes off his meds and misuses one to kill isn't the problem. As Michael Savage famously said, "Liberalism is a mental disorder"! Blame the MSM that makes celebrities out of these monsters and the drug industry, why not go one step farther and blame the person that commits these crimes.  Just because you think other people shouldn't have them is a clear sign you think you know what is best for everyone else. If they are ever banned, in order to get mine they better offer me an outrageous amount of money to surrender mine. If not I know how to make mine disappear until needed if necessary.

What, pray tell is a "FUDD"?

Yes, I grew up under a nominal monarchy - actually a Constitutional Monarchy, Mort.  You do understand that our monarch is distant and rarely visits and while she does have the power to appoint the Governor-General who is Head of State in her name, the GG is actually appointed by the Prime Minister who advises the Queen who is going to be the GG.  Therefore, there is little effective difference between your el Presidente' and our GG.  Both are native Heads of State.  It is the Prime Minister and the Parliament which governs Australia.

Like many Americans you believe you know all about how the Commonwealth works when in reality your understanding is over 200 years out of date.

Now, as I noted, the NRA's executive vice President was happy with the 1968 Firearms Act.  What changed in the NRA?  How did it become so radicalised?  I believe fundamentalist gun nuts got in control and have warped the very deals of the NRA to their own radicalised agenda.  The NRA was created to foster marksmanship, not to be a political instrument to create a warped, overly armed society.

Yep, that is a FUDD. The original and shining example of the guy that only cares about laws that affect him directly. He has a Deer Rifle, a Duck shotgun or a squirrel rifle and could care less about the Rights of anyone who has an interest in anything else.

Oh, dear so people who are concerned about the rights of everyone is considered an Elmer Fudd like character in your view?   

Well said Sir!

Logic has no emotion, Mort.

Interesting but fanciful.  The idea that 50% of the US population is dependent upon Government handouts is just bullshit.   One article I found claimed "Obamacare" which has been repealled, made more that 50% of the population dependent on Government handouts.  What Obamacare did was provide benefits to sick people who needed help to pay their exorbitant health bills.    

Mort, you like most Republicans seem to think that ordinary people don't deserve benefits from the Government that they have funded with their taxes.   I suggest you actually live their lives for a couple of months and then tell us they don't deserve any money.   You might find it enlightening.    Of course, you'll never do it. will you?

However, this is straying away from the topic of the thread which is about gun control.  It's not hard to stick to it, is it?   Instead we see the usual bullshit shotgun blast from the gun nuts against all Government, all benefits, etc.

Good on you, then, Mort.  You though, are an exception.  Not everyone is able to raise themselves up through their own efforts.  What about the Disabled and Handicapped?  The ill-educated?  The Substance dependent?  Are they to be thrown on the scrap heap simply because they cannot achieve what you have achieved?   I've been down as well.  I lifted myself up through education as well.  When given the opportunity of a free education I took it and went to University.  Today, that avenue has been closed by greedy people who refuse to help their fellow citizens.   Education is IMO the key to improving the lot of those who by circumstance have been born into poverty.  It should be free.
