First, the Brady buch are liars (what a surprise). It isn't all that easy, since the ATF won't certify a firearm for sale unless it's difficult to convert to full auto, typically requiring considerable machining of the reciever and a whole separate set of internal parts, and second SO F***ING WHAT?
What's so bad about a fully automatic weapon? We've been hammered with anti-gun propaganda for so long, that even progunners tend to concede that full autos should somehow be regulated. What a crock. If the cops and the military have them, then every person in the general populace who wants one should have them too. I remember getting into it in this forum with some lame brain from NY (or some other communist dictatorship in the northeast) about this very subject. The rtard just couldn't see why people should have unregulated access to military weapons.
That's what I thought.

Not a damn thing.

Not me. I want a PPSh41.
But for me, it's one thing at a time.
For now, I want people, such as Jim Zumbo, the leftist media, etc. to stop disseminating anti-gun mis-information and propaganda.
Irregardless of whether or not fully-automatic weapons should be un-regulated, a semi-automatic WASR-10 is not an "assault rifle".
Referring to it as one is ignorant, dishonest, or both.
I have my hands full, just trying to pound simple facts like this through some peoples' head.
There's a hell of a battle coming. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) has already introduced a new "assault weapons" ban.
On her website, she spouts off about the PA & UT shootings, stating:
"In Philadelphia, a gunman opened fire on his colleagues using an AK-47 assault rifle he legally purchased. These dangerous weapons, which are intended to hit multiple targets in a short period of time..."
"I have again introduced legislation to permanently ban assault weapons. These weapons have no practical use. They are not used by hunters for sport or by individuals for self-defense. (Emphasis added.)
The woman is, of course, a congenital liar.
Sadly, you have elitists like Jim Zumbo, and apparently some people here at FR, who agree with her.
This is the kind of ignorance, propaganda, mis-information and hyperbole that I try to fight.
One battle at a time.
