Halo 3

Nothing makes me more mad than morons who keep sharing and posting images about "Protect my Guns". Honestly, you're what's wrong with this country. If you wanna argue the constitution, I can pull about 300 words and phrases that are hopelessly ambiguous and could be argued obstinately for decades (see -blam!- RIGHTS), and the "right to bear arms" is one of the easiest to define. Everyone has the right to bear a gun, not an ASSAULT RIFLE. Where does the constitution say that you can, and MUST, own the biggest and "most awesome" gun possible to defend your house? Nowhere. You can own a gun, it never promised you a high-powered killing machine. The wording was done vaguely to allow the government to act accordingly and to regulate the right to bear arms. You aren't entitled to automatic weapons, only "guns". Your "rights" that are being attacked, aren't really being attacked, only maintained.

And just because everybody has the right or privilege, doesn't mean everyone can/should be given one. Everybody has the right to drive a vehicle IF they have a license. Now, by your flawed logic, this is an impingement of our rights! We should all be given the Keys at birth! And why can't I drive a Bus? Or a Tractor Trailer? Am I the only one who finds this to be absurd logic? The need for a different license shows the governments use of it's ability to regulate our rights and privileges.

I'm by no means a Democrat or a Republican, and I wouldn't even label myself as a "Moderate". I'm just an educated citizen, sickened by the rhetoric that's been thrown around Social Media. Feel free to roll around in the political BS and propaganda all you want, but sharing it constantly, with no understanding of the real legal process or the extent of your "rights" as set out by the US Constitution.

A good and intelligent friend :) Very spirited and outspoken but damn he's spot on.

What if we don't have the right to bear arms, but we have the right to bear arms?

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

jajaja my guns u cant take away

nope, he's simply voicing his thoughts on a matter for his peers and friends to see. That's all I saw, anyway.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

Let's see...

So, we can own guns, but not high-powered killing machines? Call me stupid, but that's the basic definition of a gun.

As far as I understand, automatics are illegal in most states.

Who said that needing a drivers license was encroaching on our rights? Also, you do need a license to own a firearm. Plus, you need a background check before you can purchase a weapon.

Your friend really shouldn't bash on gun control with little to no knowledge on how the system works.

I sure as hell am not up to date with its regulations. All I know is that more is needed. And that's what the OP's point is.

How can you say more is needed if you admit you're not up-to-date on current regulations?

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Yet he's still too dumb to notice that civilians can't own assault rifles without a tax stamp from the BATFE, which is up to a year of background checks.
