The AR 15 is a semi automatic rifle. It is not full auto select or three round burst select. Those two additions to semi auto are what hallmarks moder assault rifles. The Ruger 1022 is a semi automatic rifle, in .22lr caliber. The fools writing legislation need educating ... the Ruger 1022 is not an assault rifle, either.
Neither is the Ruger Ranch Rifle, but it is chambered to accept 5.56 military rounds, and has a removable magazine. It is differentiated from the AR-15 mainly by the fact that it is not scary looking. It has a nice fixed walnut-colored wood stock and does not have a pistol grip that protrudes prominently. The fact that most progressives want to ban the AR-15 while not expressing any concerns for rifles like the Ranch Rifle tells me te level of emotion that is overwhelming any rationality.
So, here we go again, trying to ban scary guns. The last time that was done, it did not have a statistically material effect on the murder rate, nor the number of mass murders.
These are the same idiots who think that “AR” in AR-15 stands for “Assault Rifle” and that a pistol can not be sucessfully used against someone with an AR-15 because the pistol is “too slow”. They, unfortunatly our President included, believe that bump stocks are a menace. While they may be fun to shoot they are very difficult to use effectively and mainly just waste ammo. The also think that supressors practically eliminate the sound of gunfire. They do not and you also need to use slower, below speed of sound, ammo to stop the crack from the bullet breaking the barrier. They also overheat quickly and using them at a high rate of fire turns them redhot to the point where a catastrophic failure may result. But these are all facts and we know that facts are never important if it contradicts the liberal agenda.
“The AR 15 is a semi automatic rifle. It is not full auto select or three round burst select.”
CNN said the AR 15 is a “full semi-automatic” weapon.
But it can put a dent in a head if swung like a baseball bat....would never do that with mine though...
