What happens when things don’t go as planned.
Things never go perfectly according to plan.
You are only looking at it from past and current situations. The 2nd amendment was written by some pretty intelligent people who didn’t limit it.
The second amendment was written 200 years in the past. I can't look at Future situations, because they don't exist for study yet.
They knew technology would progress.
We knew it would progress, too. They had Mortars in the 19th century, right? So, do you think "A well regulated militia" means Mortars for all?
We don’t always know who are enemies are nor how many or how well prepared they are for what they have decide to go forward with.
No one ever has, and barring a global Hive Mind, or some other situation that would effectively be the end of Humanity as we know it, we never will. Right now, we have ALL of human history, and science available, and we still have people who think the Earth is Flat, on the internet. The problem is, and always has been that people aren't perfect.
You are a people. So am I. Neither of us is perfect, but this gunslinger self defense strategy is that kind of Delusion: You're talking about "What if there's 5 or more attackers?"
YOU'RE FUCKED.
Period. With a 30 round magazine, or a Ma Deuce. If you have a Browning Heavy Machinegun in the back of a pickup truck, and nobody to drive it, you're technically (Pardon the pun) fucked 5-on-1. Even if they have hand thrown bricks. The defense against 5-on-1s isn't moar dakka, it's Awareness.
If you get jumped by 5 armed assailants, and you have to shoot your way out, you failed to see that coming. You put yourself in that situation, and I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it's too late to fight your way out of it.
If you're there with your family? They can help you fight.
Never underestimate.
Never underestimate, what? You? Me? I don't assume that I can shoot my way out of any situation, I know my abilities, and do everything in my power not to fuck myself that badly in the first place. It kept me alive in the Siege of Sarajevo.
Putting a limit on mag size or types of guns owned is a sure way of finding out exactly what’s needed.
That's right, it did. We had the Federal Assault Weapons Ban for 10 years, from 1994 until 2004, and you know what? The world didn't come to an end. I didn't see any stories from that era where "If only I had 5 more rounds, I would have been able to protect my family," and I lived through that ban. I went to warzones during that ban.
May not be today or tomorrow and it may not be by those you fear.
Do I sound like a coward to you? Did I say something, to give you the impression that Fear is something I indulge over much?
