[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t like proposed common sense gun control then I fully support changing over to the Swiss model of gun control. I’ll take that over our “draconian” laws. [/quote]

So you’re comfortable with me living nextdoor to you with a fully automatic SIG 551 machine gun? Because the government would insist I be issued one immediately, as I meet/exceed all the applicable criteria: no criminal or psychiatric record and of military service age, in addition to: former military, combat Veteran, business owner, holder of a postgraduate degree, author, volunteer firefighter.

There’s lots of similarly qualified people in this country, many millions just like me who’ve been to war on your behalf. Under the Swiss system, there’d be a machine gun in every one of our homes.

So you’re cool with that?

Maybe.

Why are you so confident that “the government would insist” that you are issued a fully automatic SIG 551 “immediately”?

You would sign up for active duty? [/quote]

Sign up for “active duty”? WTAF? Did you read my post at all? I’ve served in TWO wars. I was medically retired due to hearing loss from gunfire, explosions and helicopter noise. Otherwise I’d still be on active duty today. I lost my career because I went half-deaf from combat operations….

That you think “would you sign up for active duty?” is some kind of gotcha-question to give me pause…. it’s revealing.  It’s illustrative about how little you understand about a lot of things, reading comprehension being only one of them.

We’re going to have to accept that we are never going agree on things.

Thank me for my service. Good day. [/quote]

I'm not sure what was so upsetting by my comment.

My understanding is that fully automatic weapons are for [u]active duty only[/u] (which is why I asked about active duty) and soldiers are NOT allowed to store ammunition at home. Reservists can keep their gun after it’s converted to semi-automatic. And only after they’ve requested a permit and provided justification.

Again, why do you think the government would “insist” that you are issued one immediately?

Actually not true. You have to apply for a license with ATF to own a VERY expensive and old automatic weapon, but they can be obtained.[/quote]

PP and I are discussing fully automatic weapons in Switzerland. Not sure if PP understands the current laws there. [/quote]

^ and, more specifically, the automatic weapons issued to active military members (vs reservists or retirees).
