I respond to such people two ways.

First: Constitution fail. Political theory fail. Common sense fail. We don't have "needs" in America (unlike socialist shitholes). We have "Rights." And a "right" is anything that is not given to the government as a "power."

Part two is the demonstration.

Explain to me why someone "needs" a car that does 100+MPH, "needs" alcohol, "needs" tobacco, "needs" a blowjob, "needs" a car at all in urban environments with developed mass transit systems, "needs" meat when vegetables are better for the environment, "needs" a second car, fancy glassware or a vacation when their money could be better spent feeding the poor.

When they can explain why they have a "need" and a "right" to such things, I will explain why I "need" any particular type of gun. (To kill people who demand "needs" for any of the above kind of behavior or others. Next question, please.)

Footnote: I spent all day today at a "Build Party" where somewhere around 90 M1919A4 belt fed "rifles," a dozen AK47s, a Bren, an MG42 "rifle," a couple of AR15s and an FAL were legally, privately manufactured by about 50 civilians, with no paperwork and no registration.

We also drank beer and ate pork.

And we're willing to kill to maintain those rights. About 1/3 of us were veterans who have a record of being willing to kill or die for a cause.

And more importantly, we all vote.
