You left out quite few you selective prick but I listed a few in another post.
By the way, you can indeed but any weapon you want, if you have enough money and a clean record so truly it is you who is the idiot.
Always the statist.
And again you are incorrect.
A 12 gauge with A rifled barrel and a scope is accurate out to 300 yes with a slug.
Why are you an asshole?
Yes, the Colt is a pistol designed 107 years ago yet the. Marines carry them. The point was that you are full of shit.
With your determination of what qualifies as a
Moder.n military rifle.
Pissah pistol indeed! How ya doing Cap! Do not let the confused sea pup get you going.

One should be wary to choose words carefully in such matters. There are two .45 cal handguns in common use.
One is the wheel gun with the protruding flange.
The other is the .45 ACP with the recessed flange suited to auto-loading / magazine feed. Even chain sports shops confuse these two.
I don't like the increased danger of revolvers for shooters. Barrel misalignment is a potentially deadly problem, particularly in combat.
The M1911-A1 / Colt .45 ACP doesn't have that problem. And until something better comes along, the .45 ACP is an able cartridge. It's fully capable of delivering a lethal ft/lb charge to target at handgun range.
There are newer cartridges, the .40 S&W, or the 10mm for examples. Do any of them supersede the M1911-A1?
But the M1911-A1 is still a superbly designed weapon.
- Single action: superb
- exposed hammer with thumb-spur for maximum control
- extreme reliability
- combat tested
- derivatives available through brands like Kimber. Check your American Rifleman for details.

Excellent. And if it jams you can always use it as a club.
I've never seen a clean one jam. But we use ball ammo in them, that's NATO's requirement.
The Copper jacket slips up the chamber ramp like a breeze. I don't have much experience firing hollow points through them. Whether the open tip could snag the ramp, I don't know.
But Copper jacket is good enough.
Some find it ironic that our civilian police in the U.S. can use against U.S. tax payers / voters ammunition (hollow points) which NATO regs forbid.
Hollow points are illegal in war, but in peace? NO PROBLEM!
Ever read historic accounts of the Philippine insurrection?
The natives bound their own limbs with vines so even if shot with a .38 they could continue to charge.
But with Colt's .45 they couldn't.
The Shooter's Bible and other sources list trajectory tables and ft/lb to target (terminal ballistics) tables. There are more deadly carts. But the M1911-A1 has a nice balance between lethality and controllability.

Yes. I am very familiar with that piece as well as its history. Still one of my favorites.

No asshole, I mentioned the cost. In your limited intellect you just refused to see it.
Now, lets don't tell anyone, but you might be able to buy any weapon you want (except the ones that are illegal for you to have), which is a lie to begin with, but you sure as hell can't use them anyway you want.
But tell us, what "MODERN military rifle" do you own?

I try to address each incident separately, however, i will usually side against government immediately until it's proven that the use of force was necessary. yes, self discipline is taught in the military, but it's not required in civil service apparently because the legislatures, the courts, and the stupid people give way too much leeway to police when acting in the performance of their duties. when one has a 95% chance of no consequences for their actions, self discipline isn't necessary.
I consider 90% of college educated people useless and barely qualify to clean my toilets, much less do some of the things they do in the job market.

what would give you that idea to begin with?
edited to acknowledge that you believe 'modern' is less than 5 or 10 years old??? can you confirm that?

[French moderne, from Old French, from Late Latin modernus, from Latin modo, in a certain manner, just now, from modo, ablative of modus, manner.]
- mod´ernly adverb
- mod´ernness noun
Word History: The word modern, first recorded in 1585 in the sense "of present or recent times," has traveled through the centuries designating things that inevitably must become old-fashioned as the word itself goes on to the next modern thing. We have now invented the word postmodern, as if we could finally fix modern in time, but even postmodern (first recorded in 1949) will seem fusty in the end, perhaps sooner than modern will. Going back to Late Latin modernus, "modern," which is derived from modo in the sense "just now," the English word modern (first recorded at the beginning of the 16th century) was not originally concerned with anything that could be later considered old-fashioned. It simply meant "being at this time, now existing," an obsolete sense today. Beginning in the later 16th century, however, we see the word contrasted with the word ancient and also used of technology in a way that is clearly related to our own modern way of using the word. Modern was being applied specifically to what pertained to present times and also to what was new and not old-fashioned. Thus in the 19th and 20th centuries the word could be used to designate a movement in art, which is now being followed by postmodernism.

If the number of gun laws was the issue, all we'd have to do is legislate a few trillion more, and we'd be all set. Right?
Know it or not, believe it or not, like it or not, admit it or not, it's not the number, but the efficacy of laws that's at issue.
The issue is, how do we legislate keeping guns out of the hand of maniacs like the Sandy Hook, and Virginia Tech shooters, while preserving our 2nd Amendment rights for the rest of us.
Are you too stupid to know thaat? Or are you merely acting like it?
the solution is obvious, pass a law that makes it illegal for maniacs to violate all the gun laws we already have.....
You live in a vast otherwise-empty desert populated mainly by racist murderers, all armed to the teeth. We live in a small island full of decent people. You'll understand if your masters ever allow you out.
