Sheesh.
Joe--as to your rant, the f word may offend many. I know you're p*ssed but, rules are rules...
Lie - it was for the newly-defined category of "assault weapons," which the gun grabbers wish to intentionally confuse with automatic weapons.
And according to Brenda Duety, the president of Don’s Guns, it is not difficult to buy flash suppressors illegally at gun shows.
False: There is nothing illegal about flash suppressors, only about attaching them to post-ban weapons. Felons may even legally own flash suppressors, so long as they own no weapons. This statement is merely added to convince the sheeple that gun shows are places rife with the possibility of criminal actions, which therefore need additional regulation.
Why would a gun dealer say this? Even if true, why add to the anti-gun hysteria?
Since when did the U.S. Military start using AR-15s?
Sources? With information as specific as the serial number, they darn well ought to be saying who these "sources" are.
The Communist News Network reported that the AR-15/XM-15 has the same functions and capabilites as the M-16. I guess they never heard of full auto or burst fire. Why am I not surprised. Not to mention a bayonet lug and flash suppressor if this was a post ban gun.
Even though this wacko was clearly motivated by the "Religion of Peace", it will be non-criminal citizens who take it in the .... well you know. K.K.T, Snake Schumner, Fienstein and her sidekick Boxer will be in full bray. I just hope the gun was bought through a dealer, and after the background checks and assault weapon ban, so that at least gun rights activists can point to how useless such laws really are. Although, when a gun control law doesn't control the illegal use of firearms, the answer is not to repeal the law, but rather to pass another one. Madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
BULLSHIT ! Semiauto rifles. liberal puke reporter, scare monger,anti gun America hater.
He doesn't want to make a bet on that. Not with me doing the shooting. Sounds to me like he's trying to make a sale.
Sniper quality?
What a joke!
I can hit a target 2" square at 250 yards with a 30-30 Accelerator. One shot.
There's nothing special about using a semi-auto to pop off one round. Almost any bolt action or lever action could achieve the same results.
I believe the bill outlawed the use of a flash suppressor or hider on assault style guns made after a certain date, as long as these guns already have a protruding pistol grip and can accept large capacity detachable magazines. Other no-no's are collapsable stock and bayonet lug. So you CAN have two of the five, except I think the collapsable stock is pre-ban or Law Enforcement Only.
Supressors or replacements could be fitted to guns assembeled before that date. So thwy are not by themselves illegal. A few "post ban" guns are sold with an ATF approved muzzle break, which I believe can't be removed from the barrel. Of course, crooks don't follow the law...
Uh-huh . . . As opposed to RATS being unpopular, deadly. (John Mohammed IS a RAT . . . He never voted for Ronald Reagan, that's for sure.)
This is what we conservatives must drive home to voters at large, hard (especially in the face of this kind of relentless anti-gun campaigning by RAT-run media organizations like CBS), to wit: Most murderers (perhaps 90% or more) are democrats or, certainly, strongly agree with them. Same with carjackers, robbers and thieves.
And guess what? Common-political RATS want to free these common-criminal RATS and give them lenient sentences . . . DUH!
RATS are dangerous. More so than guns, because they use every kind of weapon, not just guns. Yes, a Bushmaster was used in these killings. But a RAT pulled the trigger. RATS are more dangerous than guns by a long shot (because RATS use every weapon imaginable to commit their murders, in addition to being responsible for most gun murders), and therefore, RATS should be registered, controlled, and put under lock and key.
Control RATS, not guns!
We MUST drive this message home. It's a winner and it would give RATS fits. Because they cannot deny the simple facts that everyone can understand.
Remember the Willie Horton ad Bush Sr. took so much heat for? Well, we need a helluva lot more ads like that. Only this time, don't just concentrate on black democrat repeat murderers and rapists like Horton, but put up pics of murderous, thieving RATS of every age, shape and color, concentrating on the most heinous. There are tens of thousands of them.
Of course, none of this is going to do us any good at all if we don't get a handle on rampant democrat voter fraud. Dubya could issue an executive order on election day and put National Guardsmen in every polling place in the country, checking for picture IDs. The RATS would scream. But so what? We'd trounce 'em and take both Houses of Congress.
Noooo... it outlawed the SALE of NEW rifles that were SEMI-AUTOMATIC and had a flash suppressor + 1 other disallowed feature (like a vertical handgrip). Old semi-automatic rifles with flash suppressors could still be sold (those are the "pre-ban" rifles)
So are pencils...
This device hides the muzzle flash when the gun is fired, making it difficult to detect where the shot originated.
It does nothing of the sort, and anyone who's ever fired a gun after dark can tell you that. It does help (and ONLY help) the shooter from being blinded by the muzzle flash, but the flash itself is perfectly visible from nearly anywhere else. The last case of this I saw was a fellow shooting a historical Chinese AK knockoff with a flash suppressor the size of a funnel at the muzzle, (COMBLOC ammo) and you could read by it.
