No they just want to ban so called "assault rifles" which are nothing but semiautomatic rifles
and I never said anything about a comprehensive ban on all guns but the repeal of the Second would be used for such a purpose
Maybe one day you'll stop talking from both sides of your mouth and your ass all at the same time
The original intent of the AR-15 was that of an assault rifle. And it is still engineered for that. Just because you can shoot a ground hog with it doesn't mean it's not an assault rifle. You can shoot a deer with a M-60 as well, does that make the M-60 a deer rifle? If they made a single shot M-60 would that be called a Deer Sporting Rifle? Are you aware that there is a FLN version of the M249 in civilian trim? Does that make it a Sporting Rifle? By your definition the Civilian M249S can also qualify as a sporting rifle. It can easily fire 200 rounds a minute single shot using belt feed without jamming. If you think it's acceptable, it's not. Most states won't let it within miles of their state line. Like the AR and the M-60, it's designed for WAR and it's pretty damned good at it even when you castrate it a bit. At some point, we have to decide where the line has to be drawn. Those 5 words you keep misinterpreting the way you read them won't allow that line to be drawn. If you think someone walking down the street with an AR-15 makes the public jumpy, try walking down the street with a M-249S. It's also a 223 or specifically a 556 Nato Round Rifle that is semi auto, single shot. Sure an glad that it can't be imported easily to the United States and it costs more than 8000 bucks.
So stop making shit up.
It is a plain old ordinary semiautomatic rifle
That is all it is that is all it will ever be
Stop making shit up
The Mini-14 fits that definition. The AR-15 is designed for a scared shitless 18 year old to go into war, shoot the gun,reload it and continue shooting it even with shaking hands without ever taking his finger very far from the trigger. It's designed to fire fast. An ordinary semiauto rifle is designed for hunting, not to see how many rounds it can fire in such a short time. I doubt if you really want to pump all your rounds into whatever animal you are hunting. I like to bag it on the first with the capability to fire a second if the first did not finish the job humanely. If it takes 10 or 30 rounds to down a varmint then you really shouldn't be out there in the first place since you are danger to everyone and everything around you. And come up with your own tag line. And, did I mention, Stop making shit up.
The Mini 14 chambered for 5.56 is no fucking different than an AR 15
And ALL semiautomatics fire at the same rate of one round er trigger pull
There is no other rate of fire that a semiautomatic is capable of
Magazine size is completely irrelevant.
And unlike you I don't make shit up.
You're the idiot trying to say that one particular semiautomatic rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO is somehow more deadly than any other semiautomatic rifle chambered for the same
I can see you haven't handled both. Otherwise you would see the difference.
You can't see shit
I've owned 3 mini 14s and have fired AR !5s or AR clones many times.
Both rifles are virtually identical in performance.
