Defense rifle vs assault rifle

[progressive hunter]

How can a gun be designated an assault rifle without knowing the intent of a purchaser or owner?

Unless you're planning on standing off a squad of infantry and your home is extremely isolated a rifle is a terrible choice for home defense.

whats your address???

You don't know what I do, so I'm just gonna let that slide. I should give it to you, would serve you right.

I dont care about your sex life,, just give us your address so we can let people know you defend you house with a water gun,,

Operate a security contracting and consulting company. I don't have a gun cabinet, I have an armory. I have my own range with pop-ups and a shoot-house. When business is slow we teach defensive shooting.

For home defense I keep a short old school remington 870 with a pistol grip and extended magazine. Also, being the kind of business it is and the people I employ I'm on a first name basis with local police, sheriff, and FBI.

Still wanna stop by?

And this is why I almost never mention it here.

And, you have been one to throw that shit around yourself.

I have no doubt you have the will and ability to defend your home. Why do you doubt our ability?

I have never argued you shouldn't be able to defend your home. I said a rifle was a poor choice to do it. I am also a proponent of licensing, registration, and insurance requirements. (You wouldn't believe what the insurance here costs).

how about you tell us oh great one, what is the best home defense on a 12 acre farm??

12 acres isn't a farm. My family is on ten times that and our neighbors consider us hobbiests.

And whatever you're most confident with that won't endanger your neighbor. That being said remember that any engagement is most likely gonna happen inside and long guns can be awkward in confined spaces, and that your 5.56 ar will go though your house the long way.

nice dodge there buttercup,,

OH and your opinion of what a farm is is very ignorant and oppressive,, some would say even fascist,,

I didn't dodge, you just didn't read the whole post.

yes I did,,

tell me what makes a farm a farm??

Because it's utter bullshit? Yes, probably a good idea.

Your opinion means nothing. I don't care whether you believe me or not. Again, this is why I rarely mention it here.

My 100lb wife can't handle my 12 gauge. She is a great shot with a 9mm handgun, but WAY more accurate with the AR15.

You want me to limit her the ability to defend herself when I am away?

You wouldn't be a proponent of licensing free speech or the right to vote. Is it a right or not?

She's more accurate at indoor distances with an ar? I find that difficult to believe. Also at 100lb she's gonna have an easier time maneuvering the 9. Make sure you've loaded with something that won't go through too many walls.

Neither free speech nor the right to vote are physical objects that can kill your children if left unsecured. False equivalency is still false.

If she were going room to room hunting down the intruder, maybe (assuming no SBR or equivalent), but holding a position is much better achieved with a rifle, particularly a semi-auto with a large-capacity magazine so she doesn't have to reload.

No, the point of your statement is that you want to convert a right into a privilege, issue a license, charge a fee, and require insurance.

Standard capacity is 30 rounds. We use 40 or 60.

And you're classified as a know-nothing if you think an AR15 is an assault rifle. See my post above. Pay particular attention to the "selective fire" part.

Wrong again, dimwit!

The 1994 Federal Assault Weapons ban created a classification of 'Semi-Automatic Assault Rifles':

Hey. not only do they look scary, we're gonna make them SOUND scary.

It was the biggest joke in the history of America at the time. (nothing compared to the nonsense we constantly endure now)

"Assault Weapons" was a newly-created political term used to do pretty much NOTHING but make guns look more scary and the ban was to make them look less scary, and it even FAILED at that.

That nonsense, coupled with the left's attempt to have the SCOTUS deem the right a "collective" one (which is logically impossible) and we can ONLY conclude that they want to strip the right completely. There can be no other conclusion.

Law-making bodies alone have the authority to classify weapons for the purpose of regulation.

What the military, gun manufacturers, or message board posters consider to be an assault rifle is irrelevant.

Correct – an AR-15 in particular.

With a muzzle velocity in excess of 3000 fps you’ll not only kill the intruder, you’ll kill your next door neighbor as well.

Handguns and shotguns are far more preferable.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

If a gun can be designated an assault rifle without knowing what the true intent of the rifle is, maybe they should be called defense assault rifles when they are intended for defense, and hunting assault rifles when they are intended for hunting. Maybe a freedom assault rifle if the intent is to simply have what the second amendment guarantees.

You can call it whatever you want however you intend to use it.

In the context of the law and firearm regulatory policy, lawmaking bodies have the authority to determine what is and what is not an assault rifle reflecting the will of the people.

The opening post does not ask anything about laws, it only asks how a gun can be designated as an assault rifle without knowing the intent of the owner or purchaser. "Because the government says so" does not explain how they came to know the intent of owners or purchasers. This is the part that lefties will need to evade discussing.

That's a broad-as-fuck grant of arbitrary power which is hostile to unalienable rights. You think it will stop there?

What could POSSIBLY go wrong with that way of thinking?

 

[Flash]

I have 29 AR-15s now. One Class III M-16.

All they do is shoot holes in paper.

Except for the M-16 that I took hog hunting a couple of years ago.

Nothing for the stupid Moon Bats to be afraid of.
