It is false that those weapons were the Assault weapons of the day. Those were the ORDINARY weapons of the day.

Nazi Germany is not the issue here but rather Will ideologues who can't reason very well be manipulated into opposing a Leader who America desparately needs so that the RATmedia will win again?

A fool is one who lies about what weapons of 200 yrs ago were like to one who knows better. A fool is one who cuts off his own nose to spite his face and proclaims it is principle that causes him to do so.

What WEAPONS did the patriots of 1780 carry while they marched across fields ASSAULTING enemy positions?

Nice try. Better luck next time.

And if you can counter my arguement that musket balls and rusty goose-gun nails were MORE deadly in 1780 (given the medical care) than rifle and pistol bullets are today, I'd love to hear it.

That distinction - YOUR distinction - proves your bias.

The AW Ban is not "irrelevant" - if I want a flash hider, pistol grip, 30rd mag and collapsible buttstock on the same rifle, I can't do it without either paying far more than the gun is worth, or breaking the law.

And that, fellow NRA member, is fundamentally WRONG.

You may be happy with the sanitized versions of military arms available today - and the subsequent disincentive for military rifle manufacturers to sell to civilians - but many are not.

Sir, I use military rifles regularly in NRA high power rifle matches; rifle matches that were created to keep the militia proficient in marksmanship so they would be effective when needed in an emergency.

No! I *will* not just shut up and take it!
