An honest question on assault rifles.

I asked for proof, not more of your personal supposition and conjecture. if you can't provide such, don't waste time regurgitating your BS.

You provided the proof yourself. Apparently, you didn't bother to read it before posting it. But it doesn't seem like you actually read any of the articles that you link to. You don't have any response to my "supposition and conjecture" except denial. You don't appear to have any interest in whatever might be the real causes behind mass shootings. It's just the usual paranoia and hysteria about guns.

I've provided some facts regarding the ammo capability of the AR15. The whole rapid fire trigger pull of the AR15 is it's big selling point....couple that with ammo as powerful as some of the bolt action hunting rifles out there, and you have an assault rifle. It's shorter barrel length does not match with standard hunting rifles...very telling.

Now, answer the OP, please.

More ignorance and paranoia. The .223 round is typically used for varmint hunting or rabbits. As often mentioned, many states do not allow it for hunting deer. What's telling is your obsession with the AR. It's shorter barrel length is to make it more maneuverable in enclosed spaces. That actually makes it less deadly.

Again, the OP is nonsense.

YOU have picked up the gauntlet for every idiotic right wing troll on this thread. If you don't like what I post or how I respond, why not just ignore or block me. What is your problem? Can't honestly answer a simple OP question?

The question is hardly honest. It's like asking what you can do with a Ford Mustang that you can't do with a Honda Civic, Ford F150 or any other car out there.

Sure, that's what your OP implies. If there's one model that will do something, then there's no need for anything else. You clearly aren't interested in honest discussion. All you want is to promote your dogmatic beliefs about firearms.

Tell that to your like minded brethren, they brought it up in a long road to answering a simple OP question that you avoid. He got schooled...learn from his mistakes.

No, you keep bringing up irrelevancies in rsponse to arguments that you have no answer to. You get schooled constantly, but it never seems to make any impression. You are a true blind dogmatic.

:lies: Every time I nail your sorry ass, you babble this same BS....and as always all one needs to do is click the arrows and back track the chronology of the posts to see your folly.

I'll give you credit where credit is do, bunky....you at least told the truth as to why you have such a fetish for the AR-15 (style) rifle. What's pathetic is that you don't have the intellectual courage to face the consequences of your convictions in an open debate. Not surprising.

you can now sputter forth with the usual self aggrandizing statements, repetitions of revisionism, distortions and lies of what has previously transpired. You've answered the question. End of story.

So you "need" an assault weapon because people disagree with you? How fascist of you. But seriously, I have no criminal record, do not advocate mindless anarchy. And since there is a plethora of weapons available that are just as good (if not better, according to numerous gun enthusiasts) for home protection, Why do you need that particular weapon?

The 2nd Amendment does not exist for home protection. Because people like you exist, that wish to supplant the American position with the British position, confirms the threat to liberty which demands that the people retain their arms.

Not interested in the opinion of an anonymous rightwing poster who believes he has a God given right to assault rifles in preparation for the overthrow of the duly elected U.S. government.

The opinions of courts of law carry greater weight with me than internet Rambos.
The opinions of legal experts, Federal judges no less, have repeatedly found that there is no constitutional right to AR15 or any assault rifle. None. Nada. Zilch.

Once you give up your fantasies of playing Rambo, and having fire fights with the National Guard in an attempt to overthrow our government, you will realize that you can still own all the pistols, hunting rifles, vintage surplus rifles, shotguns, and traditional semi-automatics you want. As for me, I might have my eye out for a vintage British Lee-Enfield!

Again, up until the Civil War, there were no restrictions on what weapons you could have or where you could carry them. You could even own cannon.

Check your militia acts throughout the history of the country and parallel that with the history of gun control regulations to see our error.
 
rjhenn said:
The history of the weapon contradicts your paranoia. The AR-15 is a civilian, semi-auto only version of the original. It is not the original AR-15.
Click to expand...

Didn't say that the full auto version was ever sold to civilians, bunky. At the time that the now-defunct Federal Assault Weapons Ban passed in 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice said, "In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use."

The usual ignorant dreck. You can do more damage "in a crowd situation" with a pump shotgun. That's why the Army used them as trench sweepers and that's why they're nicknamed "street sweepers". But, as others have noted, they don't get the same publicity as the ARs get. Yhey also recoil more, which the pussies who commit mass school shootings probably can't handle.

Your first sentence describes the majority of your responses. I was responding to what STY stated as to his personal reason for preference of the AR15.

But riddle me this, joker. You and other brain dead gunners constantly keep harping as to how so many other types of weapons are far more lethal in mass shootings....if that is the case, why the hard on for the AR15 when there are easily all these other weapons ready, legal and available?

You just don't have the intellectual honesty to answer the OP. Soon I will dump your NRA troll butt in the IA.

You, of course, are reading things into that that aren't there. You should try and get more familiar with the actual history behind the 2nd amendment.
"the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (James Madison of Virginia, The Federalist, No. 46)
Click to expand...

Typical brain dead NRA troll....you ignore the history that belies your beliefs in favor of writings that DID NOT become law and have NO bearing on the history of the National Guard. Again, your opinion is NOT historical, documented fact....and you just don't have the cojones to answer a simple OP question.

Why do you need a computer? Or a magazine or newspaper subscription? Shouldn't the government be able to restrict your right to information?

Computers or newspapers don't shoot people, stupid. If you're going to pick up the gauntlet for others, try being smarter than they are. Or try honestly answering the OP question for yourself.
