AR-15's are not assault weapons

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Funny how you cannot actually argue against what I said.
Concession accepted.

The fundamental ignorance, stupidity, and dishonesty of the thread premise is that because AR 15s ‘aren’t assault weapons,’ they shouldn’t be subject to certain regulatory measures – which of course is wrong.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Every so often some rightwing nitwit posts this lame, ignorant nonsense.

To which no leftwinger can dispute...

 

[odanny]

So what we learned today is the absence of a selector switch to fire fully automatic is why an AR-15 is not an "assault rifle".

Mkay.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The velocity of the projectile makes it an assault rifle.

Assault rifles in the U.S. for sale to the general public are semi-automatic.

Oh, you poor stupid little thing! Wrong! I have fired both. Velocity of the round makes no difference. I can fire subsonic rounds from my AR-15 style rifle.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Not this lame, ignorant nonsense again.

An assault weapon is whatever a legislative body determines it to be – not the military, not the gun manufacturers, and not message board nitwits.

Isn't a saw-ed off shotgun a weapon capable of assaulting or killing someone? It serves no other purpose. Isn't that why they are illegal also?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

For a time the only person to ever be shot with one of those AR15’s was a prison guard who was depressed on duty. So you may be on to something.

You just proved his point, despite you not realizing it.

You didn't know that before, did you?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

doesnt matter since the 2nd A was specifically for weapons of war,,

Where does it say that?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

AR stands for American's Rifle.
No other silhouette better depicts the current state of the right to keep and bear arms in the US.

Sorry, no. This is a poor use of sarcasm if that was your intent

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You're the expert.

Regale us.

How is he going to prove your lie?

Nothing in the OP implies, much less states, any such thing.

Good of you to -triple- down on your inability to argue against what people actually post.

Please - keep it up!

 

[M14 Shooter]

Sorry, no. This is a poor use of sarcasm if that was your intent

Sorry -- that should be "America's", not "Amercian's".

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Sorry -- that should be "America's", not "Amercian's".

Still not good sarcasm, even with the typo. AR stands for something. Armalite Rifle. That is all. Thank you for your contribution.

Know what?
It doesn't matter if the AR`5 (et al) is an 'assault weapon'.
Or an assault rifle.
Or big and black an scary..

The AR15 belongs to a class of firearm Americans commonly choose to use for traditionally lawful purposes.
As such, the entire class of firearm qualifies as a "bearable arm", as the term has been defined in 2A jurisprudence.
As the the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, this means the right to own such firearms, and use them for traditionally lawful purposes, is protected by the 2nd Amendment.
And -that- means, a ban on such firearms, under any level of scrutiny, violates the constitution.

So there. Nyaaaah!

 

[LibertyKid]

This is not scary according to anti-2As.

But this one is

But can a leftist tell us the difference?

 

[Mrkelly]

An assault weapon is capable of automatic fire. AR-15's are not capable of auto fire. No semiauto rifle without a switch to allow auto fire is an assault weapon.

ARs were marketed as “assault rifles “

That’s why so many people still call them that

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

You don't get to ignore that words have meanings retard.

Language Is a Wrapping

We need counter-assault weapons. Assault is a crime, so the Illiterate Liberal Language Lords have fooled Netrixters once again into adopting that term.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

You don’t get to ignore that 81M votes is more than 72M votes either. But you have.

The Democrats' Demographic Demolition Derby

If Americans, according to the elitist Constitution, can't vote on who else can vote, then the Popular Vote is not Populist and cripples the backbone of those who built America.

The GOPers' mentors blame Trump's loss on imaginary mules, but if the truth could be told instead of sold, the electorate comprised too many people who wouldn't be allowed to vote under a democratic system, no more than children would be.

You mean "Democrats and the MSM". Most people that buy an AR understand that it is essentially a semi-auto rifle that was invented by Armalite and made famous the Armalite Rifle 15 or AR-15.

I mean that is how they were marketed

As “assault rifles”

The gun manufacturers gave them that name
