One, gun violence has decreased and two, please define military assault weapon. I understand many are confused by appearances.

if by now if anyone is calling an ar a military assault weapon they are either willfully ignorant or simply incapable of learning

You'll note I have never said military assault weapon in this thread.

I've called them military style weapons.

The premise is the style and its effect on lunatic assailants in this discussion.

I've called them military style weapons.


and you are still willfully ignorant

the military style of the rifle has a select fire

the ones on the store do not

but hey remain ignorant that is your fault and that of no one else

I'd wager BB guns produced in a military style outsell BB guns made to look like a hunting rifle or skeet gun.

and i'd wager if they made it LOOK mean you'd want it banned also.

we have proof.

talk about the informed who remain willfully ignorant

but then maybe in your case it isnt willful but rather you are retarded

and it is assholes like you that cause the law abiding gun owner to say fuck you and your

attempts at writing useless gun laws

 

[Nosmo King]

Your argument would seem to be ... Style over Substance ...

It's the question, not the argument.

 

[Nosmo King]

we don't see that many mass shootings committed with those sporting style

The common thread to these shootings isn't the weapon ... which are handguns more than 2 to 1. The common thread is the state of mental health of the shooter ... which is always crazy as an outhouse rat.

Agreed. But what did those handguns look like? Were they tricked out with a long magazine, popular with gabgbabers, or were they the style of common carried concealed had guns? It would be interesting to know.

gabgbabers?

Gang bangers. Blame the combination of a late night and an iPad keyboard.

Lol. Watts is a useful idiot funded by other morons. A .22 bolt action? Really?

Not a single peep about the dangerous drugs they are pumping into kids. The dirty little secret is, schools are receiving additional funding for every kid labeled ADD/ADHD. Not to mention the Florida scum school districts that refused to report crimes by students. Pure greed by leftist pigs.

It is purposeful without a doubt. Useful idiots are following the orders of very dangerous people that hate the unique rights and civil protections that make America the greatest, most successful social experiment in modern history.

Poor thing, you just can't deal with facts when they contradict your propaganda. The AR platform is a utility rifle and has many uses in various configurations. The fact is more people in the US die in bath tubs than form the barrel of an AR.

Bath tubs?

Bathtubs aren’t designed to kill people.

 

[FA_Q2]

If the looks are the appeal then you have blasted your own position.

If it is a matter of style and look then banning such things is irrelevant - a mass shooter is not suddenly going drop their plans because the gun does not look right.

who said the looks

you guys are the ones hung up on looks

it is the hype by antis over the years

that has caused to popularity

every time you antis talk gun ban gun registration gun confiscation

thousands of people flock out to buy them for example

Are you serious?

Maybe it is the scary looking gun

It's the thread title.

Here is a hint - if there is no quote in my post and there is no active convo between me and another poster then the question is directed at the OP - the person who CLEARLY was talking about the looks.

And that is irrelevant. What something was designed for has zero to do with it's real world impact.

Maybe we can't see the forest for the trees.

Maybe one of the unfortunate reasons "assault style weapons" are used in many gun violence circumstances is the style. If video games and movies can be blamed for gun violence, why not the 'style' of weaponry? Are violent criminals drawn to the menacing look of these weapons more than the technical aspects of firing systems and round speed and lethality of sporting style weapons? Could similar cultural aspects attract those who watch violent movies and play violent video games to violent looking weapons?

Is it just cooler to carry a gun with a long magazine projecting from it? A gun that's all black and blinded up with military styling?

Gun lovers would agree that other sporting style weapons are just as, or more, deadly? Yet we don't see that many mass shootings committed with those sporting style weapons. If they are just as effective for self defense and a military style weapon, why have the military style weapon around?

As gun violence increased, could a corollary be seen in the increase of popularity of military style weapons, the "scary looking" guns?

I may be wrong, but I never heard this point of view proffered.

Maybe one of the unfortunate reasons "assault style weapons" are used in many gun violence circumstances is the style.

nope it is because it has been highly over rated by anti gun nutz

the ar is really nothing more then a sooped up 22

sure it can pump out the rounds but then again any semi auto can

most of my rifles are far more deadly then the ar

You're missing the point. If non military style guns are just as, if not more effective, why are the ARs so prevalent?

Hyping by the media.....and if you ban AR-15s they will hype the next weapon they want banned....and that will become the weapon of choice....

You guys want all the guns, you will simply move from the next one and the next one as they are used by mass shooters......

Ant THIS is the exact crux of the issue. The gun control advocates always claim that just want one more restriction/ban/regulation but the problem will persist because you cannot fix this problem by regulating the implement.

There will always be another gun control measure that just 'needs' to be passed and anyone opposing it will be a 'gun nut.'

First the majority of gun violence is still committed with handguns the long gun usually an AR-15 is used more for mass shootings though not always. I think the reason the AR-15 has become so popular with mass shooters is because of the way the media acts as if that is the only gun that can be used for such a crime we have seen mass shootings carried out with pistols but because the press has raised the profile of the AR-15 to an almost mythical status it's now the weapon of choice.

Are you familiar with modifying cars? When I was a teenager the most popular car to modify was the Volkswagen Beetle. There was a catalog of parts and accessories that was enormous. About the only thing thicker was the Sears catalogue.

Today, some cars and motorcycles are more popular for the same reason the Volkswagen was back in the day. The availability of upgrades and parts to make it better, or more individually distinct. The Ford F-150 or Toyota Tacoma are good examples. Dozens of different brush guards and probably hundreds of different rim and tire combinations make modifications easy, if somewhat expensive.

The number of options for the AR platform mean that personalization of the rifle is easy. Various optics, scopes, or holographic sights mean you can literally choose from hundreds of options just in how you aim the weapon. Lights, lasers, grips, bipod, and stocks are all available in many different styles with advantages to each.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are a million ways to set up one of those rifles. Magazines and ammunition are both plentiful and easily accessible. Barrels that are chrome lined with bonded bolt carriers to increase accuracy. Longer barrels for long range accuracy or shorter barrels for faster target acquisition. The choices are nearly limitless, and this is the thing. You can have half a dozen models, each set up different than the others, and good at the task you want it to do. Or you could customize it to make it pretty, or pink, or bright purple.

All the silly crap the Steampunk fools play with exists in reality. The high mechanical engineering exists in firearms. Gas operated, blowback, recoil, or manual. Gears manufactured to Swiss watch tolerances operating at incredible speed.

I mentioned the F-150 above. You can get a base model, or you can spend pretty much what you want, and get a far more expensive truck. You can get the Velociraptor if you desire. Ford sells a F-150 every thirty seconds. Now imagine if anyone could build the truck because the patent had run out. We don’t have to imagine it, we know what happened. PC computers we built by a dozen companies almost immediately. The parts were available and so was the software. In most cases, everything was interchangeable.

That is the world of the AR. You can have a water cooled gaming system, or you can have a basic system for word processing. You can have the ultimate media experience with high resolution cards and monitors that bring the porn into unbelievable clarity. Just kidding. Lighten up.

The AR is the gun version of the PC. You can get a bargain basement system from an unpronounceable company, or a top of the line gaming system from Aliens. If you got the bucks, you have the options.

As for me, I prefer the Mini-14. Then again, I typed this response on an iPad.
