    This is how folks see that you fully comprehend your argument is nonsense. Yet still you cannot stop yourself from saying something stupid. Get the iron away from the wrinkles in your brain! It would be more entertaining if you could enter the conversation as an adult. Clearly define what you want to ban and why, and understand that the 2nd Amendment will need to change or be repealed to get it done.

    Certainly not you.

    An assault rifle is defined as a weapon which has selective fire:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle

    "The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges." In this strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:

    It must be capable of selective fire."


    An AR-15 doesn't have the very first criteria listed for it to be an "assault rifle".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_fire

    "Selective fire is the capability of a weapon to be adjusted to fire in semi-automatic, fully automatic, and/or burst mode".

    So, yeah, you're wrong...

    People like me don't have to explain ourselves to people like you. You have neither the need nor the right to know why...

    You’re a well known liar, Pmp. Many news agencies reported it and both Ted Cruz and Mike Pence condemned it. If you weren’t such a demented dumbass, you’d realize the only reason Trump said it was because he’s a demented dumbass. Even Fox News knows it:

    https://www.foxnews.com/shows/media-...set-off-alarms
    Why Trump’s ‘termination’ of Constitution, demanding reinstatement or do-over, has set off alarms

    https://www.abc12.com/news/politics/...1773d238b.html
    Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post

    https://www.texastribune.org/2022/12...-constitution/
    Cruz: “Of course” Trump was wrong to call for terminating Constitution
    U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz denounced former President Donald Trump for suggesting a “termination” of the Constitution in order to overturn the 2020 election, while also framing the comment as an oversensationalized distraction. The Texas Republican offered his remarks three days after Trump’s initial comment and after prodding from reporters.

    “Oh listen, of course what he said was wrong,” Cruz told Nexstar on Tuesday. “But I also think the media is engaged in a feeding frenzy. I’ve never seen reporters so excited as to run up to every Republican and say, ‘Please, please, please attack Donald Trump.’”

    Cruz, a self-identified constitutionalist who prides himself on having memorized the Constitution as a youth, made the comment after Trump called in a Truth Social post Saturday for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” in order to rehash the 2020 election.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.
