Claiming the second ammendment keeps our right to go deer-hunting with an Uzi is BS, hunting laws don't allow the use of an Uzi (and if they did, they'd only allow an all so useful five rounds).

Most of Hertz's quotes in the movie though were more on the gun enthusiast's side.
Same here.
*Though in Maryland the limit is 8 rounds for hunting.

Another personally made one. You'd think it was common sense to not throw your SKS into the air when it is fitted with a real bayonet:

And they threw them 10 ft in the air? A rifle weighing 8-10 lbs (the average for both the SKS and the Garand) fitted with a bayonet, even a dull one, is lethal when falling back down from that height.

Well I know the Garand is ~ 9.5lbs, but I was averaging with both the SKS and the Garand.

Thank you for correcting me on the matter, but you killed the joke...

The first time I held a garand, I almost dropped it because I wasn't expecting the weight. Before that, I've held modern assault rifles and got used to the weight.

I expected it to be heavy because nothing with that much wood and metal is featherlight.
