Another mass shooting. Another assault rifle

[jon_berzerk]

Mass shooting in hospital where the shooter used an assault type rifle.

But hey, if only doctors were armed.

Assault rifle: A fully automatic military rifle.
Doctor shot victims with: A semi-automatic rifle, not an assault rifle.
Of course, if you wish to describe the weapon as an assault rifle simply because he "assaulted" the victims with it, then you are obligated to identify all other devices used to harm people as, say: assault hammer, assault knife, assault screwdriver, assault shoe, assault rock and of course, the ever favorite....assault fist.
Example: "There was a fight at the local bar and one of the drunk assailants used his "assault fist" to cause bodily harm to the other drunk individual and the blow to the side of the victim's head caused enough trauma to cause his death."

But, the AR-15 LOOKS scary--AND it's BLACK That makes it "assault rifle."

No, you lying little cocksuck, it is an assault rifle because it fire 30 rounds in under 10 seconds, and be reloaded with another magazine in under 2 seconds. It was designed for only one purpose, killing human beings, and has a very good record of doing that in this nation.

No...moron...a military rifle has to have select fire capability...the AR-15 has never been a military rifle..it is the most popular civilian rifle....

And as a fact...knives kill more people every single year, over 1,500 people than AR-15s have killed in 35 years.....altogether.........about 167 people......in 35 years....

Knives are deadlier than these rifles...

Knives have other uses. Do you cut your steak with your gun?

But hey, if only doctors were armed.

let me educate you on the difference between a real assault rifle and a semiautomatic rifle with cosmetic doodads than make it look like a real assault weapon

A military assault rifle is capable of fully automatic fire and semi automatic fire

Fully automatic fire is when one trigger pull will result in one round after another to be fired until either the trigger is released or the magazine is empty

Semiautomatic fire is when only a single round is fired every time the trigger is depressed.

Civilians cannot purchase any weapon capable of fully automatic fire without a federal permit and tax stamp

But hey, if only doctors were armed.

He could have done the same attack with a lever action rifle or a revolver.....probably even a bolt action rifle considering it was a gun free zone...

Blah Blah Blah.

Even an asshole like you knows that assault type weapons have more killing power than a bolt action rift.

You dumb ass. If you can touch off 30 rounds in under ten seconds, it is an assault rifle. And is very good for cleaning out grade school classrooms, crowded theaters, mall, and hospitals. And who the fuck hunts with these rifles? In our state, you limited to five rounds when hunting big game. Also, those rifles are far less accurate than a standard hunting rifle. I was taught to make single shot kills, not blow the animal to pieces with a 30 round clip.

But you can't... not with a semi-automatic weapon. You're talking about a fully automatic weapon, a machine gun. These haven't been legal in the US since the 1920s. If you are in the military, that's the kind of weapon you have.

But let's get back to the mowing down people in schools and theaters... do you not think that might be a problem with the individual's mental state instead of the inanimate gun? Are you so fucking stupid that you believe merely having a gun that looks bad ass makes someone want to commit mass killings with it?

And to answer your other question, lots of people do hunt with these weapons which are essentially the same as standard hunting rifles. Some people use them as range rifles for target practice. Some people collect them and never shoot them. The 2nd Amendment doesn't stipulate conditions for use. It is an "unalienable" right... means you can't alienate us from it, stupid.

The NRA & Republicans said crazy people can own guns.

The Second Amendment also does not say that you can own every weapon ever made.

No one has ever said that crazy people can or ought to own guns. This is called hyperbole. It is used frequently when someone doesn't have a valid point otherwise.

The Second Amendment says our right to own guns is inalienable. PERIOD... End of debate.

There is no comeback for that, which is why you have to resort to hyperbole and rhetoric.

What all of you people need to realize is you're never going to take our guns away. It's just never going to happen. You can wish and dream... you can have your little meltdowns and freak-outs every time some nutbag goes on a shooting spree.... but you're not going to take our guns.

Society in general would be a whole lot better off if you'd grow the fuck up and realize this instead of emotionally reacting like petulant little children. Perhaps we could have an adult conversation about bringing back common sense when it comes to dealing with family members who clearly have mental issues? If you genuinely wanted to SAVE LIVES that's where the conversation should start. Instead, you just want to rail and rant nonsense on something you're never going to be able to accomplish in this country.

For Christsakes, I shudder to think when one day somebody goes into a place with a Mossberg 930 12G and 2 belts of 00......the k00ks will be stupidfied..

Im still astounded that idiot that shot up the baseball field got off about 50 shots and hit once. Just goes to show how fucking laughable the idea of a liberal carrying a gun is.

No worries.......gun grabbing has never been more unpopular in our country. Not that it matters either way.

Yep....and guns allow us to preserve our life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness....and they help Americans do that 1,500,000 times a year as they stop violent criminals trying to infringe on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness......

No! Our inalienable rights INCLUDE life, liberty and pursuit of happiness....

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ​

These are areas which comprise a great number of liberties. The Second Amendment specifies that our right shall not be infringed. Doesn't matter who the president is, how smart the president is, or if you dislike the president. None of that has a thing to do with the Second Amendment.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.​

If you believe I owe you something, I demand a refund, shithead. Don't come at me with your little left-wing commie blogs trying to debate the Constitution.... I'll mop the floor with your bitch ass punk!

I have a semi-auto .22 that I bought at KMart years ago. It would also be an "assault" rifle according to you.

assault or assault type?

very different headline vs fact. you former CNN?

 

[iceberg]

Another mass shooting -- Another mentally-ill person who should've been institutionalized by his family like we used to do before ACLU types raised hell.

There is no such thing as an "assault rifle". The military uses "assault weapons" in military assaults. Many modern commercial firearms have cosmetic features which mimic the styling of such weapons. There are also toys that are made to copy this style. This styling feature doesn't cause the weapon to be more deadly. If it did, I would've murdered most of my neighborhood as a kid, along with G.I. Joe! Cosmetic styling is totally harmless.

Some features copied from military styling do have functional value but it has nothing to do with the capability of the weapon. For instance, carbon fiber stocks make the weapon lighter and easier to carry on long hunts. Noise suppressors save hearing. Magazine clips make reloading easier and more convenient.

But none of these styling features have anything to do with the mental health and stability of the individual who possesses them. And regardless of everything else, THAT is the problem!

So why do so many idiots continue to lobby against the weapons? Is it because you are emotionally upset? Is it because you've been misinformed? Or are you a Socialist who understands the importance in disarming people before you strip them of their freedom?

Republicans said crazy people can own & carry guns so what is the point?

And shove that stupid argument that there are no such thing as assault rifles. My God, there was a ban on assault rifles.

And if it is all cosmetics then you are saying you dickweeds own them because they look cool & you feel like tough guys when you carry them? Playing soldier? Really?

Ahhhh you can't carry that heavy gun that far.... you hunt with assault type rifles? You can't hit anything on your first shot?

define assault rifle?

then the history of the change of definitions as liberals never understood the differences and had to keep broadening the definition to fit their rage.

then tell me what makes a rifle by definition "assault"?

He could have done the same attack with a lever action rifle or a revolver.....probably even a bolt action rifle considering it was a gun free zone...

Even an asshole like you knows that assault type weapons have more killing power than a bolt action rift.

use an assault type rifle to hit a target a mile away.

how'd that work for you?

 

[Wry Catcher]

Mass shooting in hospital where the shooter used an assault type rifle.

But hey, if only doctors were armed.

The rifle used was an AR-15, which is semi-automatic. The primary performance characteristic of an assault rifle is full-automatic function.

Unfortunately the vast majority of anti-gun commentators know absolutely nothing about guns, they are afraid of guns, and they are not inclined to defend themselves under any circumstances -- which accounts for their ignorance.

What today's shooter did with his AR-15 could have been done just as well, if not even better, with some of the most ordinary hunting rifles available. In fact there are a number of ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns with which he could have done a lot more damage.

For your information, the AR-15 is mainly a fetish firearm, adored because of its cosmetic resemblance to the military standard M-16. It is over-priced and over-rated. And it is not an "assault" rifle or an "assault-type" rifle. In fact there is no such thing as an "assault-type" rifle. That is a jerk-off designation.

Correct, it is a tool for use in killing in mass, especially when equipped with a large magazine and a quick release magnet.

 

[Wry Catcher]

An assault (CA Penal Code 240) is defined as "an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another."

Thus any weapons, from a hammer to an AR 15 and everything in between, can appropriately be characterized as an assault weapon.
