How Does A Snowflake Answer The Question:"What Is An Assault Weapon" ??

[bripat9643]

What weapons were included in the Assault Weapons Ban in the 1990s?

Guns that looked scary.

All you had to do was make them look NOT scary, changing nothing else, and you were good.

I bought an AK variant for under $200.00 after the ban. Best money I ever spent. The only thing that changed on it was the pistol grip.

Sad that I lost it in a tragic boating accident. It's gone forever.

But, that weapon had everything the pre-ban rifle had in terms of effectiveness and mechanics. It fired just as fast. It was all the same. Just that stupid looking stock that replaced the pistol grip.


That's all the left could do without achieving their real objective. That's all they could do now without a complete ban. There is literally no other reasonable measure.

That's why we laugh at the ignorant left. But, I guess I should thank them for the cheap AK variant I once enjoyed.

Precisely. The gun lobby watered down a real assault weapons ban and concentrated on cosmetics.

More inaction from your friends at the NRA.

What would a "real assault weapons ban" ban?

Place the same restrictions on semi-automatics as fully automatics.

Don't effect pump shot guns, bolt or lever action rifles or revolvers.

Before you say 'revolvers ARE semi-automatics', remember that revolvers have six rounds and cannot be equipped with a magazine.

Sorry turd, but that would make about 80% of the guns in this country illegal. What you want to do is get rid of all the guns that can actually kill something. A gun that can't kill anything is useless. Getting rid of semiautomatics would be a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment.

The Found Fathers intended us to have the same exact guns the military has.

You've revealed your Stalinist cloven hoof.

That would be a near total ban. Not gonna happen and we will go to war to stop that.

Don't effect pump shot guns, bolt or lever action rifles or revolvers.

Which are increasingly unavailable.

Before you say 'revolvers ARE semi-automatics', remember that revolvers have six rounds and cannot be equipped with a magazine.

That has nothing to do with the operation. Semi-auto is one pull = one shot.

Actually, semiautomatic means firing a round causes the spent cartridge to be replaced by a new one.

 

[Cecilie1200]

The actual definition is that the weapon must have a selector switch to allow either burst or full auto.

WOW......that definition will surely bring solace to the families of those 17 kids.....

Wasn't meant to bring solace. Was meant to bring knowledge and accuracy.

[Cecilie1200]

if you are breaking in my house and I get to my Winchester Model 12 sawed off shotgun you can bet I'll assault you with it - your dead ass wont know the difference between a fully automatic AR 15 and a 5 shot pump scatter gun either.

And just how many people have ever tried breaking into your home? So if I was to enter your home with my AR 15 and blasted you before you got to your Winchester, then what?

Maybe the person breaking into the house DOES have a gun. All the more reason I don't want to be facing him with just a steak knife from the kitchen drawer.

Just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean it isn't a shitload better than nothing.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Most hunting rifles are semiautmatic, moron. You obviously don't know jack shit about guns, yet here you are pontificating about guns as if you're an expert.

No one can gunsplain like a rightard can gunsplain. After all, who hasn't seen those safari pictures full of semi automatic rifles?

So "gunsplain" is another word for "facts?" Is that what you're saying?

Snowflakes have a lot of derogatory terms meaning "the truth."

That's because they consider the truth something to look down on and avoid.

 

[Darkwind]

If it's exactly the same as other rifles that will not be banned (and it is) why do you care if it stays ?

The functional capability of the weapon that makes it suitable for attacks will be banned.
Not just any particular platform.

What practical purpose is there for a thirty round magazine? Why is it necessary today more than in the past? What work requires a tool with a thirty round magazine rather than five or six rounds in an internal magazine?

The work of imaginary fears and fantasy.

You're standing on a position that the Bill of Rights is a limit on people and not the government. However, it is called the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Needs, nor the Bill of practical purpose.

It's already that way. If even one restriction is allowed, then any is. It is not unlimited. Your individual right to keep and bear arms is not and would not be taken away.

By banning a single rifle, you have taken away My right to keep and bear arms. You and your ilk are punishing the innocent out of fear.

Stop with the hysterical blubbering, Shirley.

The only thing lost is that particular type of firearm. Your rights are intact.

I'm hysterical? You're the one willing to take away rights on the basis of a tiny percentage of crazy people doing crazy things.

You may want to avoid mirrors for the rest of your life.

How Does A Snowflake Answer The Question:"What Is An Assault Weapon" ??

Why do you NaziCon retards keep asking the same stupid question? It has been clearly define previously as follows:

Federal Assault Weapons Ban

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB)—officially, the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act—is a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a United States federal law that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms it defined as assault weapons, as well as certain ammunition magazines it defined as "large capacity".

The ten-year ban was passed by the U.S. Congress on September 13, 1994, following a close 52–48 vote in the Senate, and signed into law by then President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment, and it expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset provision.

Several constitutional challenges were filed against provisions of the ban, but all were rejected by reviewing courts. There were multiple attempts to renew the ban, but none succeeded.

Federal Assault Weapons Ban - Wikipedia

The AR-15 was originally manufactured as a MILITARY weapon......Failing to interest our military into buying it, manufacturers turned their advertising on private ownership.......who buy the AR-15, supposedly, to protect themselves from the same military that rejected the weapon in the first place.........lol

The Ar 15 is nothing but a semiautomatic rifle that fires a 5.56 mm round

Just like my 5.56 mm rifle with a wood stock

There is no difference between my "ranch" rifle and the AR 15 "assault" rifle. NONE. ZERO. ZIP. NADA.

The 5.56 NATO round has been criticized for being under powered and it is compared to rounds used by the military in the past. Hell most people with more than one rifle have rifles that are far more powerful than the AR 15. I have 3 rifles that make the Ar 15 look like a bb gun.

The reason the AR 15 is so popular is not because it is the most deadly it is because it is light, accurate and easy to fire. That is all

And I understand the accessories can be modified without taking it to a gun shop (not that I want to scare the leftists into wetting their frillies).

But in reality a minuscule percentage of people commit crimes with an AR 15.
In fact rifles of any kind are used in about 2% of all murders. So regardless of what you think a rifle, any rifle, is not the weapon of choice for the vast majority of criminals

Great. When it is used, it's devastating.

Last time I checked, you can say that about the majority of guns. So?

You'll have to ask the snowflakes at the nRA who made their convention a gun-free zone for safety. From their own gullible followers.

Triple A doesn't actively promote more drunk drivers.

And the NRA doesn't actively promote crazed shooters. Glad we're on the same page.

There is, in popular parlance, the term 'assault weapon'. In generic terms, an assault weapon is a weapon that includes a semi-automatic firing system fed by a high capacity ammunition magazine. There are distinct guns designed for sporting purposes. Among these are hunting rifles (bolt and lever action), pump action shot guns designed to hunt water fowl or shoot clay pigeons, and pistols and revolvers designed for target shooting and self defense.

Assault weapons, on the other hand, have design characteristics more akin to combat weapons. Characteristics that do not necessarily augment their use in sporting activities.

You wanted a definition, you got one.

Now, I know your reputation. You will no doubt respond with a smiley emoticon denoting you think this post is funny. If you want to discuss the merits and virtues of the weapons I described as 'assault weapons', fine. But if all you seek are posts you can ridicule as poorly framed, inarticulate or just plain silly, you might find that some opinions that differ from your own still have merit.

Actually the definition of an Assault weapon is that it is equipped with a selector switch to allow Burst or automatic fire and those are already HEAVILY regulated.

"assault weapon" is quicker than saying "military-style semiautomatic rifle."

As opposed to military style bolt action or military style lever action?

Except of course your "ranch rifle" has an internal magazine that only holds five or six rounds. It wouldn't have been very effective in the Vegas attack. Probaly why Paddock didn't choose it despite it being "No different".

No my Ruger Mini 14 has a detachable magazine

Then it's not simply a "rach rifle" then, is it?

that's all it is.

It's how the rifle is advertised and in fact most people buy it for the same reasons anyone on a ranch buys a .223 caliber rifle

You can get to laughing at her that much faster.

 

[Darkwind]

So the millions of rifles that are already out there just what happens to them exactly?

A well maintained firearm has a lifespan of many many decades

Buy back. As an example, there are just under 2 million ARs. Pay above retail for turn in. Let's say $2k. That would be the best $4b ever spent. Do the same w/handguns. Even illegal ones. Maybe those kids on the street would find it more lucrative to turn them in rather than use them or sell them on. It would also kill the black market trade.

Another word for confiscation.

What if I don't want to "sell" my gun to the fucking governemnt?

Another word for confiscation.

It's not another word for confiscation at all.
Obviously you keep it then. I think it should have to be registered though.

Too bad. There is no need to register a rifle.

If you dopes were smart, you would willingly offer some concessions to avoid overreach.

If you idiots were smart, you would work with us to enact real common sense solutions to turn around an every growing amoral younger generation.

No they are not retard. They support the move to strength back ground checks the democrats do not. the NRA actively teaches firearm safety you fucking loon.

We should at least have the same weapons police have, right? They are defending themselves against other citizens, just like we are. We should have what the cops have.

More importantly, we should be able to defend ourselves against the cops, when necessary.
