FLAT1INE "... all I'm saying is, that as a liberal, I, personally wouldn't vote for legislation to (or help elect to office someone that would) loosen restrictions on fully automatic weapons."
Does that mean that you would vote for a politician who would
tighten the restrictions on automatic firearms, or
ban them owned by honest citizens who had never abused their right to own them??
As far as putting words in your mouth, in my opinion, when a person says "You don't need whatever object I don't like," and "I'd never vote for a politician who'd loosen any restrictions on you," then that is tantamount to a tacit approval of, or a step toward the object being eventually banned by the Government.
Afterall, when liberals elect liberal politicians who hate our Rights, it can only follow that the liberals will approve of the politican's ideology, even if it violates the Constitution.
I spent way, way too many years around a whole conglomeration of "liberals" when I lived in Los Angeles, hearing their definiton of "needs" which should be allowed by the Government, not to know what is meant by "You don't need that object."
I've talked with sanctmonious, self righteous "liberals," who have stated, "No one needs a gun and I don't think anyone should be allowed to own a gun and I think they ought to be confiscated by any means necessary."
I would then ask, "By any means necessary?"
Then several of those "liberals" would answer, "Whatever it takes."
Perhaps your experiences with your liberal friends are different.

I do not need liberal -- or conservative -- politicians telling me what I need or don't need, at the point of their guns.
