1. They’re not “assault rifles” by definition. Assault Rifles are capable of fully automatic fire. Modern sporting rifles are not.
2. Standard capacity magazines are 30 rounds. High capacity would be more than that but high capacity magazines have never been found to be a factor in murders with guns. It takes less than 2 seconds for anybody familiar with guns to change out a magazine. There is no indication magazine capacity was a factor in the shootings in Maine.
Anus is making another empty gesture so that it seems like he’s doing something. He should be focusing on why the Maine shooter wasn’t disarmed given his mental health issues and family warnings to police. Would Anus feel better if the shooter had 10 round mags and had to reload three times?
I really wonder when was the last time that a resident of Maine was killed by a rifle that was firing on full auto? It may never have happened.
Well here’s the bottom line. No cute boat accident stories.
Here’s the thing. This occupation DC government has allowed 8 to 10 million illegals in from all over the third world, they opened the prisons with mass release of violent criminals. They have ended bail requirements. They stole the 2020 and 2022 elections. They arrest and incarcerate anyone who calls it fraud. The FBI and DOJ are 100% DNC political wings and are fully corrupt. They unleash crazed drag queens on our children, BLM and Antifa on our streets to murder dozens of cops and do a couple of billion in damages.
They showed their fangs during covid. They have debased the currency to the point that an economic disaster is guaranteed. They have flooded in at least 5 million terrorist moslems since 9/11. They have us on the brink of WWIII with Russia and China and Iran.
They tear down monuments from my culture and speak of me in pre-genocidal terms. They flood the streets with fentanyl and anti-depressant addled mass murderers. They terrorize and arrest people praying near abortion clinics and going to school board meetings. Cartels, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Moslem Brotherhood all operate openly in America and attack elderly white men in traffic....
And you want my weapons of war and personal defense? GFY... come and take them.
So my Mini 14 should be safe with wood furniture right? 😂👍
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Uh, I mean if I had any firearms. Yeah that’s it!
Well any man named Angus has issues to start with but Mr King needs to go the way of the Dodo bird...quickly.
Hey now...
Still has that “military” look about it...
They’re comin’ to take it away...Ha ha, He he, Ho ho!!!!
Hey, Angus - I got yer ban fer ya right here!
I might consider a break point at 105 mm but probably not.
They’re not “assault rifles” by definition. Assault Rifles are capable of fully automatic fire. Modern sporting rifles are not.
The semantics game will not save us. They mean military style rifles with all the functions. Yes, a civilian AR-15 could be be easily substituted in military service with almost no loss of function. We will not win by parroting the assault rifle definition and “proving” that your Colt AR-15A4 is not select fire, and therefor, NOT an assault rifle.
As we spike the ball and think we win the debate, they will say, “yeah whatever, we want the AR you have.... whatever you want to call it”.
Hobbiests and shooters smugly declare victory when they want to ban 30 round clips. We ask about their en bloc clip and their AR Garand and think we won.
They couldn’t care less about lingo. They want the 30 round clips and the assault rifles and couldn’t care less what we call it.
Finally a nut case that knows how to shoot accurately!
Wait till you gun control idiots run into us sane guys that know how to shoot better and when to use our skills to the maximum.
Your police will be gone.
These people use language to deceive, not to communicate. You cannot let your enemy define the terms. So we must firstly REJECT their definitions and then point out how the things they want to ban will not be effective in stopping what they CLAIM they want to stop. Then we need to point out that since the bans they CLAIM will stop a certain harm will not do so and they know that, they must be wanting to impose bans and strip away citizen's rights for another reason.....
Shall not be infringed.
One that has bullets in it?
+1
My first reaction, too. AWR Hawkins knows better than that. Was this article composed by an AI and not the man himself?
Doesn’t work like that. Other than hobby shooters, collectors, and enthusiasts, there is no functional difference between an assault rifle M-16, and a semi auto of the exact same pattern in AR semi style. Both are equally capable, and the semi auto shooter is probably to be feared even more.
Think of it this way. When they say they want to restrict how many bullets someone can buy, you don’t smugly sit there and think “Ha, I’m not a reloader”. And you don’t think you won because they didn’t say how many cartridges you may buy.
Nobody except hobbiests, knows or cares the difference between an official definition assault rifle, and a functionally identical AR-15. For them the difference is it best, academic. They want to take away the rifle somebody walks in with and does a mass murder in the night club. You won’t win a thing by convincing the public that it wasn’t a full auto, and therefore, not an assault rifle, and therefore, completely outside the balance of the discussion the politician is pushing. You win nothing.
If they say they want to ban M-14s, only a fool would roll their eyes and say “Ha, I have an M1A, you don’t even know the proper name of what you want to ban! Lol
Priggery will win us nothing except points among our friends.
