Trucker kills 73 in France. Do liberals say ban trucks now?

It stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s.

Now that I've answered your question, can you answer mine?

Ok, I stand corrected, however the AR-15 came directly from the M-16. Actually if you read that Salon article it explains all, I think that the ban that ceased in 2004 should be reinstated. I also recall that you posted a a gizmo on here just the other day that can turn an AR-15 into a rapid fire weapon.

After a decade on the books, the federal assault-weapons ban has expired, to the delight of the gun lobby and the consternation of gun-control advocates. Now that the prohibition is over, exactly what weapons can citizens add to their personal arsenals?

For starters, consumers can now purchase one of the 19 firearms specifically outlawed by the 1994 ban, including such action-movie staples as the Uzi, the TEC-9, the Kalashnikov, and the Street Sweeper shotgun. The law's authors had to be as precise as possible in crafting the ban, since the phrase "assault weapon" isn't really part of the gun-making vocabulary. Rather, it's a catchall term that gun-control advocates define as covering any firearm designed for rapidly firing at human targets from close range. The 19 guns called out in the ban are all semiautomatic in nature: They can eject spent shell casings and chamber the next bullet without human intervention, but only one round is fired per squeeze of the trigger. Not coincidentally, the verboten 19 were largely the sorts of high-profile guns that even gun neophytes have heard of, either through watching the nightly news or by reading Tom Clancy novels.

On top of the Big 19, the ban also included a few formulas for forbidding less well-known armaments. A semiautomatic rifle was considered an illicit assault weapon, for example, if it featured a detachable magazine, as well as at least two of the following five attributes: a folding or telescopic stock; a conspicuous pistol grip; a bayonet mount; a flash suppressor or threaded barrel (i.e., a barrel that can accommodate a flash suppressor); or a grenade launcher. The checklist for semiautomatic pistols includes guns weighing more than 50 ounces when unloaded, and those featuring a "shroud" on the barrel to prevent a shooter's non-trigger hand from being burned.

The ban also outlawed the manufacture of magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds. That meant supplies of high-capacity magazines were limited to pre-1994 models, and gun dealers charged a pretty penny for these relative antiques. So in addition to purchasing semiautomatic rifles with bayonet mounts and grenade launchers, consumers may also outfit their new firearms with newly affordable 100-round clips. Residents of California, Connecticut, Maryland, Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York may be excluded from the bonanza, though, as those seven states have their own assault-weapons bans in place.

Regardless of where they live, gun enthusiasts will still have a difficult time purchasing machine guns, which keep firing as long as the trigger is depressed. The sale of machine guns has been heavily regulated since 1934, when the National Firearms Act made it illegal for private citizens to own one without the hard-to-obtain permission of the Treasury Department. Then, in 1986, the Firearms Owners' Protection Act outright prohibited the ownership of new machine guns; the only ones that may now be in private arsenals are those that were manufactured prior to the act's passage.

I don't believe that a civilian can own a M-16, without a special permit.

The item I posted is also available for different caliper weapons, so I'm not sure what you're upset about; because there are those who can fire and empty a revolver in record time.

Here's one example:

 
Tommy will wish he had a gun when more and more of the followers of pedophile mohamud smoked ham be upon him invade his country.

Maybe Tommy will be forced to pray with mullah moon

Or we could just kick them out. They have no inherent right to come here. Their day of reckoning will come. We will deport all muslimes. If they refuse to leave they will be slaughtered. Their mosques burned to the ground.

It is the only way

I bumped this forward; because Jarod seems to be hiding from it.

Maybe he's been busy apologizing to all his past and present clients, for his stupidity. :dunno:

Trucks have to be licensed and registered. To drive one you have to have a drivers license. Trucks are already more regulated then guns.

You don't need a drivers license to drive a truck. :D

Did you share your stated opinion of Muslims and immigrants while you were patronizing him, Paki-basher?
 
One wonders why Rancid doesn't choose to live in leftist dream lands like Dearborn MI and Connecticut or Ferguson or Baltimore

No she chooses red states. Maybe it is because of the oil? You know the stuff that it possible to cure her toxic titties
