Quiz for the Marxists/Democrats who visit this site. Which gun is an assault rifle?

[miketx]

It immediately stands out to me that the scary-looking black gun has a narrow magazine, that surely only can hold low-power pistol-caliber ammunition. I bet the other gun takes full-power rifle ammunition.

They are both 22's.

The Britannica link is self explanatory, it covers the AR15.

By the definition of assault rifle in the link, the AR-15 is not an assault rifle because it does not have fully automatic fire capabilities. Do you at least agree with that reality?

1. AR-15's are not assault rifles as they do not have full auto fire capabilities. Did you miss that?
2. There are many purposes firearms serve. I will tell you what they are.

Target shooting. Yes, the challenge of putting a small bullet into a small target at a long distance. Fun the anti-gun crowd apparently never experienced and don't want anyone else to experience.

Hunting. Yes, there are many people who fill their freezers each year with various game meats. Some even donate surplus food to charities who serve it to hungry people. Shame on them!

Comradery. Yes, that bugaboo to the left of people enjoying a common interest.

Competition. Yes, that awful thing that the right does. How dare they enjoy competing against each other to see who can make the better shots?

I could go on, but don't need to because you get the point, right?

Collecting , Historical value , Iconic ...

All those things you listed have dual uses, assault rifles do not.

Yes, I looked at the link, but that's not what I'm talking about, is it? I'm talking about a claim you made that you are trying to hide from. Apparently, you're too embarrassed to admit you made it.

No civilian should be allowed to own an automatic weapon.

Why not? Other than the Miami Cocaine wars of the eighties, I can't think of a single crime committed with an automatic weapon since the demise of Prohibition except acts of terrorism with weapons smuggled into the country illegally.

Apart from you, no one cares if it was one or one billion.

It's important. I seriously doubt that those ten weapons ever got to be used in combat and likely never made it past the firing range. The AR-15 was never issued to Combat troops it is not and has never been a military rifle you ignorant bastards are try to ban a firearm because it looks scary to you. A semi-automatic .227 hunting rifle functions the same as an AR-15.

Self defense, hunting, target shooting.

In a society with gun regulations, some guns are not available on the market, same with cars. The regulations cover the length of the gun, how the bullets are fired/loaded etc.., the calibre etc.. and any gun that meets the criteria are on sale.

If the features of an AR15 fail any part of those requirements, then it's not available for sale until such a model complies. Same with cars. If you have a Ford Escort with a jet engine in it, it can't be allowed for retail sale and use on the road until it passed car regulations, so install a petrol or diesel combustion engine or go down the electric route.

Some features are unsuitable in a normal society, that's why you're getting confused between all guns v no guns and the whole regulation idea fly's overhead at 33,000 feet.

 

[Hollie]

You asked for a definition, you got one
An assault rifle can be defined by any gun with a large magazine with above a certain rate of fire

''... because I say so".

Super.

 

[Kruska]

......... in a normal society,

You just hit the nail - and your cousins over the ocean ain't normal by common world standards. They love all the yeehaa, bamm,bamm, taka,taka,taka,taka, Hip hop, Rap,Rap and wruuummm V8's.
They are known worldwide to be a very acoustic-phono depended society. Unplugging the sound of daily gunfire would be like taking them off the main power grid.
Now you wouldn't want that (disabling their society) - right?

In 1961, ten AR-15's were sent to South Vietnam. Anyone with knowledge of the Vietnam war and AR-15's would know that.

The AR-15 was patented as a civillian rifle and went on the market as a civillian rifle

 

[2aguy]

Read the link faggot. Was the AR-15 ever used by the US military? Yes, 10 were tried in Vietnam. What the fuck are you crying about??

It was and is a civillian rifle...no matter how you guys lie about it

The leftists at Britanica didnt point out the patent for the riflewas for a civillian rifle...: and it was first sold on thw U. S civilain market so how accurat is the leftist Britanica information?

Incorrect:

The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges."[18] In this strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:[2][3][4]

• It must be capable of selective fire.
• It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle; examples of intermediate cartridges are the 7.92×33mm Kurz, the 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm NATO.
• Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine.[5]
• It must have an effective range of at least 300 metres (330 yards).

Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are not assault rifles according to the U.S. Army's definition. For example:

• Select-fire M2 Carbines are not assault rifles; their effective range is only 180 metres (200 yd).[19]
• Select-fire rifles such as the Fedorov Avtomat, FN FAL, M14, and H&K G3 main battle rifles are not assault rifles; they fire full-powered rifle cartridges.
• Semi-automatic-only rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities.
• Semi-automatic-only rifles with fixed magazines like the SKS are not assault rifles; they do not have detachable box magazines and are not capable of automatic fire.

Assault rifle - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

This is the most widely-used and comprehensive definition of "assault rifle" that I've seen. It is also the one that, in my experience, most knowledgeable sources will follow. The source is the US Army; who would you ask ahead of the US Army? Who out there think they know better?

"Assault weapon" is a different case. That is such a pliable term with no authority giving it a special definition, so people bend and twist that one however they like. That's why the first section of every "assault weapon" bill has to define exactly which models they mean.

To those who call for gun control, it's best just to call it a "semi-automatic rifle." It has all the punch that you need to get your point across, and it happens to be accurate. People — and arguably the people you need to hear your message the most — will be less likely to dismiss you as an idiot if you're accurate.

In the words of Jack Reacher, "Details matter."
