Why does anyone NEED an assault rifle?

[Hypoxia]

But the Muslims are OMNIPRESENT. Even in the mountains!

It gets even worse. Mohammad wouldn't go to the mountain so the mountain came to Mohammad. Imagine if all Muslims could do that! A gang of Muslim wizards gather in Kansas City and make the Rocky Mountains sweep down over the plains, crushing America's bread basket. Oh, the humanity!

"When I see a bunch of acne faced whiney high school kids being loud and obnoxious for their ‘gun control’ handlers, I’m reminded of the National Geographic video of the little full of energy and spunk bear cub wandering up to the big sleeping Adult male bear, and pestering the living shit out of him, which upon about the third such occurrence, the resting giant takes one giant paw to the little fucker, knocking him about 3/4 of the way across the Sarenghetti. At which point the little guy somberly staggers back to a safe distance and puts his soft little rattled head down for a nap! "


This is fucking hilarious!

Bears in the Serengeti in Africa?

Who knew?

And Serengeti spelled as if it is an Italian pasta dish.

Priceless.

They're anti-polar bears ... have you not heard of them?

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.

I'm worried I have to spend the rest of my life in hiding now, what with the jihad and everything. But it was worth it.

Nobody needs an assault weapon but if they HAVE to have one, they should have to go through a shit load of background checks, exams for mental illness and gun safety classes before they're sold one.

I'm all for a personal choice but you should have to earn the right to have an assault type weapon because not everyone should have one.

Own whatever you want at home, but accept responsibility for its safe use. In public, be tightly regulated. Those who carry publicly without reason should be executed like the rogue dogs they are.

Whatever you require of one right to exercise it, you should expect to be required the same for all. Do you seriously expect to require everyone to be fingerprinted, safety classed, background checked and examined for mental illness before they can speak freely? Assemble? Partake or not partake in their religion? Etc etc I hope you’ll soon realize the government does not, and cannot dispense the rights they have, they are pre-existing conditions of every American, and the government has simply promised not to infringe on them.

I like this ship! I mean, uh, thread. Time to check my salt rifle and BB gun.

And just what is the difference between an "assault weapon" and other semiautomatic rifles that makes them so special??

Other than the scary sounding label of course.

You think that you're being cleaver by asking for a definition of an assault rifle but the reality is that anyone who posts here can pick out an assault rifle when we see it in action.

How exactly??

How do you tell one from other semi automatic rifles that shoot the same bullets just as fast through the same mechanisms?

I noticed you had to see them to tell......

Is that because you've determined they are "assault rifles" based on how scary they look?

Obviously not how it looks but how it performs.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Obviously not how it looks but how it performs.

So how do assault weapons perform vs. any other semi-automatic rifle?



What about this "Assault weapon"....a semi-automatic .223/5.56mm rifle performance is different than....

This *NOT* assault weapon....also a semi-automatic .223/5.56mm rifle that fires the SAME cartridges just as fast through the SAME operating mechanism as the "Assault weapon" version??

You claim the first gun (semi-automatic "assault weapon") performs differently than other semi-automatic rifles...even those of the same caliber run through the exact same operating mechanisms......

How exactly does that work out??

 

[phrodeau]

Why don't you look it up if you really don't know?

There are different definitions for assault weapons in different states, and a federal definition, too. They are all listed in Wikipedia, and other sources, like the NRA website. Really easy to find.

I do know, that's why I didn't make the idiotic claim that "assault weapons" perform differently than any other semi-automatic rifle.

Because they don't.


Both the Stoner rifles I posted pictures of are semi-automatic .223/5.56mm NATO rifles. As far as performance goes they are identical clones of one another, you could totally interchange any of the parts which are probably made in the same damn factory.

Their only differences is the accessories attached to them yet one is an "assault weapon" and the other is not.

 

[WandaGrabowski]

Let's go out to the range. You can fire any gun you choose and I will tell you if it is an assault weapon.

Clear enough?

BBoi, if you ever find yourself, you're going to be very disappointed.

just like obscenity


The phrase "I know it when I see it" is a colloquial expression by which a speaker attempts to categorize an observable fact or event, although the category is subjective or lacks clearly defined parameters. The phrase was used in 1964 by United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to describe his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio.[1][2][3] In explaining why the material at issue in the case was not obscene under the Roth test, and therefore was protected speech that could not be censored, Stewart wrote:

Defining an assault weapon is the same as defining obscenity

That will fly over his head like a home run

No you wont.

You can't even begin to explain how or why one semi-automatic rifle is different than the other.

Because the truth shits on the "assault weapons" mythos you hold so dear.

BBoi, if you ever find yourself, you're going to be very disappointed.

So you can't even attempt to back up your bullshit.....noted.
