Gun shop owner talks AR-15 NY Daily News BY Seth Moulton SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, June 14, 2016, 8:26 PM

I’m a Marine. I carried guns every day in Iraq, guns very similar to the ones used to perpetrate the Orlando murders and many other mass shootings in America. I’ve used guns in combat. On more than one occasion, guns have saved my life.

I’m fully aware of the differences and my comment was made as humor.........

What? Are you sure you posted this to the right person? I didn't insult you. My response was in support. I got the humor. Why are we confused?

Homo or maybe he’s looking for a rich widow/heiress.
Anyone wanting to infringe upon the 2nd is my enemy.

Civilians have no reason for owning assault weapons

At least 300 million documented deaths have resulted from governments, 100 million of those within the last 100 years. All rifles, including the black scary ones, according to FBI statistics, kill less than 300 people a year. It would take a million years for ALL rifle murders to equal the number of people murdered by governments.

Given how our own government talks about Christians, a blind man can see what's coming if they get our guns. F%ck Seth Moulton in the @$$. Just because he served in the military doesn't mean he understand history, sociology or world politics, at least not at more than a third grade level.

Any implement is an "assault weapon" if you use it to commit an assault.

I have a 28 oz. framing hammer that could be used to commit lots of mayhem. If that happened, it would become an "assault" weapon, or more accurately, a battery weapon. The legal definition of assault is "the crime of trying or threatening to hurt someone physically." Battery is the actual physical contact.

“They have rifles that look like assault weapons and cost a lot of money, but they don’t have assault weapons.”

I have a friend who put a fiberglass replica body of a Porsche Speedster on a VW Beetle frame. Does it look like a Porsche? Yes. Is it a Porsche? Not by a loooong shot!

Since the right to keep and bear arms is a pre-political right - it pre-dates the very existence of this nation - it is not subject to regulation or abridgement by the government

I would argue that, based on this statement, the 2nd Amendment actually applies to everyone on the planet.

I didn’t own an AR-15 until Bill Clinton said I couldn’t have one.

I have lost count of the number television media stories about guns that lead with footage showing a crew-served, belt-fed, heavy machine-gun.

The primary enemy of this nation are those liberal people who run the propaganda networks.

The ability to spread their deceitful propaganda needs to be taken away from them.

Civilians have more and more reasons all the time beginning with our feral government.

Back in the day, the muzzle loader was considered an assault weapon. It was considered a God-given right to own one.

Seth Moulton: “On more than one occasion, guns saved my life.”

This man acknowledges that guns saved HIS life, yet wants to prevent the rest of us from having guns to save OUR lives.

Is this bastard loathsome or what?

DPMS and other make a big block version in .308/7.62mm NATO. Armalite makes an AR-10 of the same size, but slightly different dimensions. All the usual AR attributes are there such as modular construction. The newer DPMS Gen 2 .308 rifles are a lot lighter than the first ones, barely heavier without ammo than many AR-15s.
