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

[miketx]

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.

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.

Sadly, - for them, anyway - it is impossible to argue that 'semi-automatic rifles" do not stand under the umbrella of "all bearable arms".

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.

Love those jack reacher books and I liked the show.

Assault Weapon is a political term.

Assault Weapon is a political term.

"Assault weapons" is term of propaganda, intended to prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.

Given its over-use on this (and other) boards -- it works.

those rifles are also used for hunting

There is no reason to hunt with an automatic weapon, unless you are hunting humans.

Why do you keep saying ar15's are machine guns? You must want to look like a fool. Plus, your statement is moronic. Automatic weapons are not good for hunting. Only a complete imbecile would shoot a deer 30 Times.

He knows the only way he can get anyone to pay attention to him is to lie.

 

[Billo_Really]

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.

Self defense, hunting, target shooting.

There is no reason to hunt with an automatic weapon.

Why not? Oh, you're lying. Sorry.

What's the lie?

The AR-15 functions the same way that a semi-automatic .227 hunting rifle does so you are talking about banning a rifle because of the way it looks.

Not me. You keep trying to respond to things I haven't said.

I'm still going to think they are idiot's because they are happy to give up a Constitutional right so easily that they will likely fall over themselves in a rush to give up the rest.

A better example was the Trabant. An East German car that polluted so badly it was never allowed on American roads.

There is no reason to hunt with an automatic weapon.

The closest I've ever heard of anyone hunting with an automatic weapon was when I was in Basic Training a rabbit ran out onto the machine gun range and went behind a log. With thirty M-60 machine guns we reduced that log to splinters and never saw hide nor hair of that hare. He must have had a burrow back there.
