    there isn’t a whole ton of legitimate reasons why civilians need .50 cal rifles.

    We should be asking the opposite question. What are the legitimate reasons civilians should not have them? I can’t think of any. .50 cal weapons are not used in crime or mass shootings.

    By default, everyone should be able to do everything. We impose restrictions when the costs to personal liberty outweigh the benefits to society.

        Left or right is an economic axis. Has nothing to do with guns.

          I was just ribbing you but wholly disagree on your view of the political continuum. And I was speaking of freedom, not guns. As I thought you were…

              You were making a point about freedom (weren’t you?). Why should we be allowed to do something rather than why not? I was insinuating you were radically left for that suggestion here on the ‘land of the free’. There was some gun talk in there but my comment wasn’t intended to provoke that discussion. Hope that helps? Party on, Comrade. Be excellent to each other!
