Why the shift from right and choice to need? It seems that one’s need would be what they choose for themselves. So, “why do you need…?” is just a matter of curiosity or opinion and not a matter to restrict or deny using government force.
The “need” question is a rhetorical trap. The moment you commit to a quantity, ANY quantity, you’re agreeing that there is a legitimate limit to how many firearms you may own. Then it’s just a question of negotiating on the number.
The government has NO delegated powers re: what we choose to need or want and without delegated powers it may do NOTHING according to the clear, precise wording of the 10th Amendment.

Heh.. reminds me of that old joke where a guy asks a women if she’d have sex with him for a million dollars. She says yes, so he asks how about a hundred dollars.
She’s outraged, “I’m no prostitute!”.
He replies.. “Well, we’ve already established that, now we’re just negotiating price.”

What is this “need” thing they are talking about?
April 4th, 2017 at 6:47 pm
“More.”

(Me, I’m just confused* as to why they always harp about that.
The evil crazies never seem to have more than one or two on them.
“Giant gun collection” makes one person exactly as lethal as “one or two guns”, pretty much.
* Okay, I’m not. It’s basically a talisman, as far as they seem to see it, and thus not rationally examined.)

How many books do you need? How many cars do you need? How many abortions do you need?
Define need.

So, aren’t those guys breaking laws by selling the guns they buy to people in NY? Why are more laws needed?
