You deplorables find new ways to embarrass yourselves daily.

Nobody has been able to buy an assault rifle since the federal Assault Weapons Ban that was enacted in September, 1994.

Expired in 04'.

They are on sale, AR and AK's right now in nearly every gun shop in the USA.

Have been since 2004 when the "assault accessories" ban expired and the state bans are sidestepped by changing the accessories.

You've never been inside a gun store, have you?

Doesn't matter if 100% of Americans support banning all guns; only amending the Constitution can legally achieve that result and actually produce any substantially, practically effective lowering of gun violence in America today (by tyrannically, anti-constitutionally, outlawing all gun ownership).

Note 1: see innumerable authoritative studies which unarguably conclude the previous "assault" weapons ban didn't affect American gun violence in any measurable way at all.

Note 2: a number of so-called "Democrats" are now widening their "assault" weapon categorization to include all semi-automatic weapons in general, which effectively includes virtually every rifle and handgun in law-abiding Americans' possession today.

Note 3: a number of so-called "Democrats", including presidential hopefuls Biden and Gillibrand, are openly on record now for confiscating, once they are banned, the hundreds of millions of "assault" weapons now in Americans' hands by government force.

Note 4: common citizens have no "democratic" vote in amending the Constitution - only those who are elected to represent citizens do. And those representatives don't swear in their oaths of office to do the will of the people (which is a logical thing when only a certain group of people elect them), they swear to "protect and defend the Constitution".

That's the glorious, individual liberty-loving difference between majority/mob rule - democracy - and America's constituted "Republican Form of Government".

Just recently and I used to be part owner of one in Texas from 2009- 2012.

Can't watch the whole video right now but what's a video about getting full auto weaponry got to do with the expired "assault weapons" ban of 94 that expired in 2004?

Your idiotic hyperbole is noted. Now run along.

Fuck, I’m an idiot.

Hey,Rob.

Fixed your post, thank me later.

"I just came with my family from deer hunting. I’ve never had more than three shells in a clip. Sometimes you don’t get more than one shot anyway at a deer," adding, "I don’t know anyone in the hunting or sporting arena that goes out with an assault rifle. I don’t know anybody that needs 30 rounds in the clip to go hunting. I mean, these are things that need to be talked about."

"If you need 30 rounds, you should be shopping for your meat at the grocery store"

They're obsessed. It's like the Tim Taylor of guns.

We've got so many damn guns in this country. We have more guns per person than any country. We're number 1!!

And they are so scared of losing a single one or not being able to get more. They must have more. Christ it's like an addiction they way they behave. Gun junkies.

Don't know how accurate it is but during a Canadian poll, 79% don't own one.

Funny most of the hunters I know use Stoner rifle (AR) platforms.

The use of the term clip tells me they don't actually do any hunting and have never taken a basic hunters or gun safety course.

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

A way to look at the figures is that each American - each and every, babies too - have 1.2 guns. Each Canadian has 1/3 of a gun.

We are armed to the teeth.

How many people do you think know what the difference between a clip and a magazine is?

 

[RoryN]

Hey,Rob.

Shhh.

Just....shhhh. *pat on head*

 

[BotanyBoy]

I bet it's pretty close to half.

You rarely hear it around even civilian competitions and basic safety classes and it's usually quickly corrected.

 

[Kantarii]

Sounds about right.

Is it magazine or clip? If military history is one of your favorite subjects, you may already know the difference between these two terms, but there are a lot of writers who aren’t so sure.

Here’s a summary of what you need to know,

A clip is a device used to load a magazine.
A magazine is a device or holding area where ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm.

But what about the M1 Garand?? Where ammo is fed into the chamber directly from a clip instead of a magazine??

NRA puts out a magazine that's full of clips and quips.

No one I know hunts with a military weapon. They all use 30-30s or 30-06s or similar.
