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

[OldLady]

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."

And both are wrong but I guess it's better to be wrong with fewer words right?

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.

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

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?

Great. ARs are advertised as "sporting rifles" as well. Anything that can accept a thirty round magazine is not simply a ranch tool.

Any practical purpose for a rifle can be accomplished with an internal magazine.

And it matters not if a rifle has a detachable magazine

>>>Question to snowflakes:
"What Is An Assault Weapon" ??
THE TRUE
Answer they will never reveal:
An assault weapon is that weapon your enemies use to take over your country, when you don't have those weapons to defend yourself with.

 

[OldLady]

Oh boy here come the gun nerds.

Ok , an assault weapon is a firearm designed for war. Designed to poke big holes in people as quickly as possible .

Then that leaves out the AR 15 because it fires one of the smallest caliber bullets on the market

The AR is designed to make that little bullet gain speed x3 and do maximum damage at close range.

 

[OldLady]

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.

No, that is absolutely wrong. What you are doing is trying to redefine a specific word to fit an agenda.

So why did Democrats fail from 2009 to 2011?

Why do they hate children so much!?!

Before you answer remember Democrats had control of the House, Senate and White House at the time, so their failure is noted!

Can't ask the opposition party to do the job your own political failed to do!

3 times more speed than what?
Another rifle of the same caliber?

ALL rifles are have higher muzzle velocities than handguns or shotguns and it's because of the longer barrel and the fact that the expanding gases are contained longer in that barrel. IOW it's physics

The 9mm handgun is generally regarded as an effective weapon; its bullet travels at1,200 feet per second and delivers a kinetic energy of 400 foot pounds. By comparison, the standard AR-15 bullet travels at 3,251 feet per second and delivers 1300 foot pounds.Feb 15, 2018

My god Dory reread the umpteen posts where I have answered this stupid question

THE AR 15 AND ITS CLONES ARE THE SINGLE MOST POPULAR STYLE OF RIFLE IN THE COUNTRY. IT STANDS TO REASON THE THE SINGLE MOST POPULAR RIFLE IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE USED IN A PERCENTAGE OF CRIMES. THE FACT THAT THE AR 15 ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER TYPE OF RIFLE IS USED IN ONLY ABOUT 2% OF ALL MURDERS INDICATES THAT IT IS ONE OF THE LEAST USED FIREARMS TO COMMIT MURDER.

OVER 8 MILLION AR 15 RIFLES ARE IN THE HANDS OF CIVILIANS AND A FRACTION OF A FRACTION OF A PERCENT ARE USED TO KILL. AND I WILL REPEAT. THE FACT THAT THE AR 15 HAPPENS TO BE THE SINGLE MOST POPULAR RIFLE IN THE COUNTRY IS THE MAIN REASON IT IS USED IN THE SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CRIMES IT IS.

That is like saying the ACLU is to blame for getting in the way of legislation reinstating slavery.

The NRA is exercising the exact same rights as all of the other National Advocacy groups.

You are essentially saying that I want to take away a right from a segment of the population and the NRA is stopping me from doing that so they are responsible for the deaths because I am right.

The problem is, you, and those who are for restricting guns, are NOT right.
