31. I know! I can't wait until we have absolute freedom so I can buy

that .50 cal machine gun I've always wanted. Until then, I have to settle for only a .50 cal sniper rifle. God life sucks! My freedom to own anything I want has been infringed! Someone thinks I can't own this? Who the hell do they think they are? Why did they pass the National Firearms Act? It infringes on my freedom!!!!!!!
