What The Hell Does A Normal American Need An Army Assault Weapon For.....Target Practice?

[Brain357]

And the why should anyone have a gun like this? BECAUSE IT'S THEIR RIGHT.

And it was not a AR-15

Was a high capacity semi auto rifle. And it killed and injured many very quickly. You don't think an ar would do the same?

Do lefties even know what an assault weapon is? There is no designation of assault weapon in the military. It's an intentionally provocative term invented by the left. There was a time in history when weapon manufacturers intentionally made rifles to look and feel and function like the military rifles so that (mostly) boys could learn to shoot. Federal regulations prohibit the public to possess fully automatic weapons except in exceptional conditions so the civilian look a like rifles do not function like military rifles. Rifle matches were once immensely popular attractions throughout the Country . There was even a popular internationally known range on Long Island NY. Lefties are out of the loop of course but there are still well run rifle matches that feature military style rifles and civilians compete along side members of the military. Of course the left hates the Military and the Country so there is little point in arguing with them.

And if someone with more guns were inside?

So the cops arrived quickly? And you want to give up guns and let the cops protect you - RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want magazine limits. Nobody is using a high cap mag for defense.

And I want a yacht.

jmo, but I sorta doubt a terrorist will obey gun purchase laws.

Then he might get caught before killing people.

FBI thwarts mass shooting at Milwaukee Masonic center

No offense but your link does not support your assertion because the authorities had received a tip before he armed himself.

I never considered an AR-15 for home defense, but after some reseach I'm sold. Unfortunately, I suspect prices have gone up the past couple of days.

He was caught because he tried to illegally buy guns. Rather than murdering many he is in jail.

You're wrong. This is from your own link

Hamzeh had been under investigation by the FBI since September, which used confidential informants who secretly recorded him. Undercover FBI agents arrested him this week after he tried to buy automatic weapons from them, the complaint says.

This idea of the NRA governing the types of weapons available in gun shops is rank bull shit! Why is it that we're the only industrialized nation in the world which feels the necessity of a ordinary citizen to go armed with a military style killing machine?

If you think a .223 is an assault rifle, you're as loony as the rest of the anti gun left. You'll let us know when we can own real military assault rifles such as the SAW.

Sure kills a lot of people fast.

Any gun can. It's not guns. Its islamic hatred, moral rot and decay that has to be addressed. It's a major insult when politicians tell us that taking guns away will solve our societal problem. But then again, that's how pitifully simple minded they are. It's a disgrace.

This gun killed 50 and injured 50 in minutes. It was a mass killing weapon.

And the FBI talked to the guy in Orlando. They catch felons illegally buying guns all the time.

Most our mass shooters aren't Islamic..

 

[Desperado]

Simply because they are fun to shoot.
I assume you are not a shooter so you have no concept! Who needs the government telling you what you can and cannot have. It is all about personal freedom. Would you like the government telling you what cars you can and cannot have? Be it a AR15 or a Ferrari, it should be your choice and not the governments

They do tell us what cars can legally be on the roads... And I'm fine with it.

50 dead and 50 wounded because they are fun to shoot. Wow.

I want magazine limits. Nobody is using a high cap mag for defense.

High mag capacity is exactly what I want for self defense.

You are an idiot.

Why do you want to make me and my family more vulnerable?

So you think I have a right to protect myself but it should be limited to the number of rounds the government allows me?

Again. You are an idiot.

Because idiots like you want to give up your freedoms so the government can tell you what to do. Libidiots are like spoiled little children that when they don't get their way, they cry, and throw a tantrum, making those around them very uncomfortable. Here is why US citizens need a good ole fashion bang stick. You never know when a liberal is going to come through my door and want the FREE STUFF that he/she thinks she deserves. I will accommodate that liberal with the 50 cent solution.

The NRA doesn't "govern" anything. The ability to purchase weapons is, as always, governed by this little document known as the Constitution. Perhaps you've heard of it?

While you're asking, "Why are we the only industrialized nation in the world that" followed by whatever imitation of Europe you're advocating today, why don't you also ask, "Why are we the only industrialized nation in the world that is considered the leader of the free world, the one everyone wants to move to, the one everyone else looks to for help"? The answer will be the same for all your questions: because we offer our people freedom. Although less and less of that, because of nancyboys like you, shitting your frillies every time you turn around because you don't have the security of being a slave.

The gun nuts have been stating you can just quickly change the mag. So it does not make you more vulnerable. Plus the vast majority of defenses involve no shooting. I don't think you could find a single example of anyone ever needing a high cap mag for defense. Don't be so scared.

Where the hell did you ever get the idea a right is only applicable if you NEED it?

Do you NEED midget porn? No? Then we can ban it, right?

Do you NEED to whine about Donald Trump? No? Then we can shut you up, right?

You don't even understand the basic principle of what a RIGHT is.

 

[Cecilie1200]

The real question is why shouldn't a lawful american citizen be able to own a semi automatic rifle, which is the proper name for an "Assault weapon".

You read the article about the family of the AR 15 designer who said that their father (designer/builder of AR 15s) had zero intention of it being a weapon for civilians.

How about that?

What about it? I wasn't aware that uses for new technology were limited by some law to just what their inventors envisioned. Pretty sure the people who invented chemical fertilizer had zero intention of it being used to make bombs, but that doesn't stop terrorists from doing it anyway.

Go look up "law of unintended consequences", and then man up.

WE aren't the ones pissing ourselves at the thought of law-abiding citizens being armed and thinking that guns are evil, mind-controlling aliens that force people to execute atrocities. "He'd have been a peaceful, fluffy kitten, but he picked up that AR-15, and suddenly he was a Christian-hating Islamofascist terrorist!"

 

[easyt65]

Have you noticed that every time these liberal assholes go on the gun control warpath we mock them without mercy making them look like stupid retards and they shut up.

Actually you look like morons again.

Wow, that is the debating skill level of a previous poster, SHE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED.

How many times do you guys need to be proven wrong?

you haven't proven jack shit.

50 dead and 50 injured with an armed defender there. That pretty much shoots down all your BS actually.

1 armed defender who was not expecting a terrorist attack, a metal detector turned off...

Marteen fired at the guard 1st without warning....

It doesn't 'shoot down' anything simply because you say so.

Why?...really? Go to you tube and watch Chris Hedges. Also, any reasonable person needs to start watching Chris Hedges.
