That's what I thought.
What's so bad about a fully automatic weapon?
Not a damn thing.
We've been hammered with anti-gun propaganda for so long, that even progunners tend to concede that full autos should somehow be regulated.
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.
They're fun as hell on prarie dogs. Those who pop 'em from a quarter-mile away with scoped boltguns are missing out on some amazing fun.
But wear a baseball cap with a stout brim; they eject the fired cases straight up and it rains hot brass right down to the shooter's face. And I highly reccommend good earmuffs, too.
