MCLOVIN50,
About the 2nd amendment

It gets into constitutional law and the theory of "Original Intent" to which I subscribe

All Constitutional rights & amendments had purpose & reason for being Included, A lawful mechanism was also given to modify and perhaps reverse them

But not everyone wants to work within the framework of law; many are capitalizing on peoples fear, ignorance or apathy

You use the term "legitimate reasons"
But with RIGHTS no reason is ever needed

PWNED...

I think the term is SCREWED.

Perhaps you should know what the hell you are talking about before you post. The .44 is hardly ever used in crime. Usually it's cheap small caliber weapons used like .25's.

What about "high caliber" hunting rifles which are almost never used in crime? Most are bolt action. Caliber really has nothing to do with it's use in crime. Usually it's very small, cheap easily concealable weapons used, And more over they are usually bought illegally on the street.

I voted in Minnesota, and I voted for Barack Obama. He won the state of Minnesota. :)

im from minnesota and we are democratic retards

Let me start off by saying every firearm is life threatening including low power weapons. And there is a need to own, more of a choice. People use them for recreation, competition, hunting, and even self defense (in the home). For more insight on this issue, just refer to the NRA website, which I doubt you will even look. But nonetheless you won't be able to counter their arguments.

I think I am able to speak for every .50 cal rifle owner when I say no such weapon would ever be used for self defense. It's not even practical. The only people that own .50's are collectors and competition shooters. The problem with a .22 is not the killing potential (which every firearm has) but the killing speed. With a .22 pistol you would have to bury quite a few rounds into a suspect to drop him. Where as a .40 pistol is much more damaging and able to stop someone much faster.
