well upon my research it seems you guys have had at least two mass shootings since then.




don't forget the shoulder thingie that goes up and down. that one is super evil.

Lets be serious here. I don't care for Feinstein either, but we both know that she probably sat down with a list of guns she wanted to ban and looked for similarities between them.

And it's normal in legislation to find ways of making sure that your wording covers what you want it to without having to just make a list of specific makes and models.

You just described the futility of even trying to do so. But, I don't believe she is an idiot. You don't get to be a U.S. senator without having some smarts. She knew what she was doing. And, her ban held ... until it expired and nobody wanted a repeat of the 1994 Republican Revolution. Well, nobody but U.S. President George W. Bush of all people. Go figure.

there was probably some touchy-feely liberalism in there too.

We are all aware that every product has a visual design that is intended to send certain messages, and her concept of "assault weapons" has several visual cues that we are all aware of.

People see a walnut stock and think "hunting".

People see an all-black weapon with snazzy grips and they think "For spraying bullets at human targets".

Frankly i don't even know what "assault rifle" means. A Garand M1 with a bayonet was clearly designed for assaulting, right?

Didn't Lee Harvey Oswald, or whoever he was a patsy for (if you buy that nonsense), use a bolt-action rifle?

And this is off topic, but you're aware that although i have never owned a firearm, I believe that having an appreciation for kickass awesome guns is an adequate reason for a responsible adult to own all the guns they feel like owning. Provided that they aren't easily accessed by people who aren't responsible adults.

As you know about our state laws, restricted access to firearms isn't required by law in most cases. But, I still keep mine in a locked cabinet built for rifles. Since I have "just two" firearms, it leaves me quite a bit of room for all the related things one needs for their feeding and training all in one spot. Besides it keeps wandering hands from them, too. I hate it when my stuff gets fingerprints, especially by others (OCPD).

For what it's worth, a lie is when one intentionally tells a falsehood. There is noting subjective about it.

In the case of welfare and how many are on it who shouldn't be on it, there are, to my knowledge, no comprehensive statistics available about the exact makeup of those on welfare so we have to make a judgment call based one limited information. Furthermore, the boundaries are somewhat subjective.

Where I would draw the boundaries, there are far more people on welfare who shouldn't be on welfare than should be.

For you to call that a lie shows only your own ignorance and lack of understanding of the most basic terms of language.

The M-1 (rifle and carbine), M-14, and other military weapons from a few generations ago had walnut (and other wood) stocks. Where long range and/or penetration are needed the M-1 rifle (Garand) and M-14 still outperform the M-16/AR-15. The M-16 family replaced the older .30 caliber rifles because warfare tactics changed with WW2. That aside, I personally don't give a s**t what uninformed people think when they see a firearm of any kind. I'll be happy to educate those open to it but I won't pacify or pander to those who are not.

Then they would be wrong. Neither a semi-auto or select fire carbine are not sustained fire weapons for spraying bullets.
Only a true machinegun that feeds from a belt and has the ability for quick barrel changes in the field are practical for sustained fire. The true assault rifle does have full about or 3-shot burst capability is not at all suitable for sustained fire.

Examples of machineguns:



There is both a technical and legal definition. The technical definition is by capability and features whereas the legal definition is whatever lawmakers can get away with.
An AR-15 or civilian legal AK-47 or AK-74 (by any name) are not assault weapons since they lack full auto capability.


The rifle recovered was an old 6.5mm Italian Carcano M91/38 with a cheap scope mounted on it. A skilled rifleman could use a rifle like that to greater affect than an unskilled rifleman with an AR-15. It becomes a matter of tactics.

I didn't mean to give the impression that people have a rational concept of what guns are scary.

And yeah, automatic weapons exist because most soldiers aren't exactly marksmen.

Go play with your guns...

Did he touch a nerve?

No, I'm simply tired of his wasting time showing off his arsenal...
What nerve would that be?

Apparently, the nerve that clicked through to this topic.

Apparently so....

1. Where am I "showing off" my arsenal? Please be specific.
2. Where does it say you are obligated to read what I write even if I am showing off my arsenal?


Well, here's a Butthrt Report Form (BRF) for pcuser to complete and submit to the internet police.

Sorry, no nerve...

Perhaps showing off is not exactly correct. All you talk about is guns and your avatar has Clint aiming a gun in the picture. I'm not obligated to read your nonsense. I skim it because it isn't worth reading in depth and reply if the urge strikes. And no nerve clicked through this topic. You shouldn't take yourself so seriously. I don't...
