You must be making that up. The media is filled with stories of how ARs and AKs just spontaneously kill gigillions of people everyday on their own. I’ve been kill 42 times by my neighbor’s picture of an AR-15 and that was just this year alone! Next year may be even worse because Trump is a nazi, global warming and we have no universal heath care.

Wow, that sarcastic rank sounds an awful lot like real leftist antigun talk.

So far, the only assault weapons I see attacking innocent people at random are those aiming at us from their congressional office.

“Rifles. They’re more powerful and cause more carnage when used with a pistol-grip..."

Yes sir those pistol grips make them much more deadly. Kind of like washing my car makes it faster

“It’s funny. I know multiple people who own AR15s Not one of the rifles has ever snuck out of the house and gone on a killing spree while the owner wasn’t looking.”

I keep mine locked in a safe and make sure it doesn’t know the combination.

Semi-auto is any firearm that does not have to be reloaded after one shot is fired.

While I understand what you are saying revolvers fit that descriptions as well, and they are not semi-auto.

As far as the anti-gun people are concerned revolvers & pistols are semi-auto - despite the total misunderstanding ... like all the rest of their garbage.

We cannot apply common sense concepts to people who have none; worse resits any such attempts deliberately - they are immersed in consensual thinking and nothing can change their minds because everyone knows ...

Ummmm.... no rifle is more powerful than any other. They are all empty tubes. The power and propulsion comes from the round (from the gunpowder within), not the firearm.

No one is arguing that a "rifle" sans cartridge is powerful. The rifle provides a chamber within which the self-contained cartridge can ignite its charge and allow the projectile to accelerate down a sufficiently long barrel and impart spin from rifling to stabilize the projectile during its flight. A longer barrel will impart more velocity.

A Remington Varmint Rifle in 308 Win with a 26" barrel produces more power than a Ruger Scout so chambered with its 16" barrel.

A cartridge without a rifle is so much brass, copper and powder -- pretty harmless without the instrument needed to activate it and direct it to its target.

“The entire first mistake is in accepting the gungrabber’s premise that ANY guns should be banned, except for 50 cal machine guns, which already are.”


Sounds a bit like you’ve already accepted an infringement of the 2nd Amendment and the COTUS. For one thing, the .50 full autos are banned not because of the .50 cal. part, but because they are full auto. That’s part of the ‘34 NFA. However, that is BLATANTLY unconstitutional, despite the 1939 “US v. Miller” decision (which is so full of holes and missing facts to such an extent that a fleet of trucks could be driven through it).

Why?

Well, if you look in Section 8 of Article 1 of the COTUS, you will find among the powers of the Congress the ability to give individual citizens “Letters of Marque and Reprisal.” Well, you may say, WTF are those? They are, basically, the right to act as a privateer on behalf of the United States, which necessarily includes taking on merchant and naval forces of foreign nations. The Continental Congress granted such Letters, as did the US Congress during the War of 1812 (and, quite possibly, as late as WW2). Now, how does one take on foreign naval forces without the aid of modern military equipment? You don’t. Back in the 1700s and 1800s, it meant that the individual in question would own a ship AND CANNON. Today, it would necessarily mean having automatic weapons, including automatic cannons...well, it would, but for the gross infringement of the 2nd Amendment that is the entire 1934 National Firearms Act.
