the AR-15 follies: Here we go again!

RB 60 said:
The AR-15 was specifically designed for civilian use. Originally designed in 1956, the trademark was sold to Colt in 1959.
The Colt AR-15 is closely related to the military M16 and M4 Carbine, many of the parts were changed but the basic
operating principles were retained, as most semi-automatic firearms operate on the same principal (like the Ruger 10/22).
It is the preference of many competitive shooters and used for target shooting by many others. It is mainly used in "mass
shootings" because of the media hype. If the media hyped the M1 Garand, assholes like the deranged millennials who use
the AR would use the M1, which is far more powerful than the AR and is easily reloaded in seconds.

:palm: Amazing how your right wing retards actually think you can lie in a medium where information from valid sources can easily debunk your revisionism.

Let me pull the rug out from under your bullshit:
"AR" comes from the name of the gun's original manufacturer, ArmaLite, Inc. The letters stand for ArmaLite Rifle — and not for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle."
https://www.npr.org/2018/02/28/588861820/a-brief-history-of-the-ar-15ArmaLite first developed the AR-15 in the late 1950s as a military rifle, but had limited success in selling it. In 1959 the company sold the design to Colt.

Never punch above your weight class, bunky....:BKick:

Problem with that philosophy is that you incorporate over 90% of all guns and rifles that exists. The law of the 2nd Amendment allows for the general public to be armed to form a decent militia as a preventative to a tyrannical gov't. As weapons changed and became more prolific, state and federal laws changed, and then we came to the 1994 AWB, etc., etc.

My grandmother said in the 1969 that black folk should buy as many hunting rifles and guns that they can because "the white folk are going to make it illegal, unless you're in the army". 50 years later, it hasn't happened. But her fear was real based on her experiences....her grandmother was a slave, her mother damned near under Jim Crow.

The jokers on this thread parroting the SOS have a shyte load of weapons to choose from, their childish rants since the sunset of the 1994 AWB is just that, childish.

I got no problem with law abiding citizens owning registered weapons....it's this "I want any type of gun I want, I want to carry it where ever I go, to sell it to anyone I want and have NO over site from state or federal gov't." That's a disaster waiting to happen.

I don’t want to take their guns, I want to see reasonable and common sense laws passed that helps to protect the innocent. Since the AR 15 seems to be the preferred weapon of choice for mass murder, why not start there, especially when it’s doable? I’ve listened to the argument that we should all arm ourselves to protect ourselves from white racist terrorists. Arming to protect makes sense, but bullets is a battle that we cannot win. Smarter to remain strategic, that’s a war we are already winning. This is a war we’ve been fighting for over 400 years. Say hello to uour grandmother for me.

I Know a guy who trains with a black militia group in Atlanta. Pretty impressive watching them. They are well armed, but committed to non-violence. But lots of guns create lots of opportunities for something to go wrong. They coordinate their rallies, training, and protests with local police, but still I worry. I understand the need to protect the community, but I’d rather see that as part of community policing strategy. Protect community from within and without.

I absolutely agree with everything else you’ve said in this post brother.

Speaking of intellectually inept, here you are trying to cover for your lack of familiarity with the meaning of an often used word in the English language. But, don't blame me for your impotence.

My buddies and myself are hiding nothing. Our gun club meetings go on monthly as scheduled (a number law enforcement are members of my, and other gun clubs), so we aren't concerned.
A new AWB plus additions? What "additions" might they be?

Stubbornness? Yep, I'm stubborn. I'm old, I'm permitted to be stubborn, just like you are permitted to be incompetent, and pathetic at the same time.

No, you're not just insipidly stubborn, you're also a lying jackass. What's pathetic is that you think you can lie in a printed, recorded medium. The chronology of the posts won't let you, genius.


You wrote, "...What makes you think those of us that have unregistered guns will register them?"

Now since I pointed out time and again that a reinstatement of the 1994 AWB would let all purchased weapons stay with the owners prior to enactment. I also pointed to registration of such weapons (sales slips/invoices by the retailer will do). Now immediately you assert an illegal action as a challenge to authority, so in effect you are hiding something, regardless of your club's membership.

As to your other questions, i suggest you stop lying, go back and read carefully and comprehensively for your answers. But you and I know your not about that....you're just another dumbass right wing flunky degenerating into troll mode. Soon to be useless in a debate and tossed back into the IA bin, from where you'll nip at my heels like a bitch in heat for another month or so. ;)

So, now teabaggers (www.teaparty.org) are blaming democrats for covid deaths.

Just like they tried to blame the democrats for the attempted insurrection in DC.

Dotard like his cult gullible and stupid, Dotard really loves the insane ones.

Are they? (What Covid deaths?)

Did they? (What attempted insurrection?)

Typical bigoted NaziDemocrat attack on the differently abled.

Referring to people as "tards" is disgustingly bigoted, friend.
Case in point; Democrats are a deranged 21st century Nazi cult.

Really?
Trump loved it when his N. Korean boyfriend called him Dotard, a term of endearment.

“I was really being tough and so was he. And we would go back and forth. And then we fell in love, ok? No really. He wrote me beautiful letters. And they’re great letters. And then we fell in love.”

Your last lengthy sentence is disingenuous at best. In 1994, the AWB included handguns https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/pu...pistol, Krinkov,LAR 15 pistol; Calico Liberty
Click to expand...

Those are not actually handguns, those are carbines/rifles that have short barrels and some had braces others not, if you knew your firearms you would have known that. in fact the shooter in Colorado used such a handgun, technically he did not use a rifle/carbine. When I say you are not going to ban handguns I mean the Millions of semiautos and revolvers that are actually used the most in most mass and every day shootings. That being the case, you have a big problem that we cannot solve until we actually deal with the problem, which is not firearms.

No.

There is more to it than that.

The person is nuts, THAT'S the reason they gave to get SSI in the first place, they have already admitted that to a doctor, who had to testify to that.

A person can't get SSI just because they can't write a check.
Click to expand...

Actually, they can. My wife is an example of that. She has a genetic condition that causes her hands to shake enough that her writing is illegible. She can barely type on a keyboard. Social Security decided she was "disabled" because of this as she could neither write or type, or do most other things requiring precision use of your hands. So, she got SSI because she couldn't write a check--not that we really needed the cash, but whatever...

an inability to do certain things that others can is not a sign that someone is nuts. If that were true, YOU should be committed because you can't think straight

Okay, so we all know that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa went postal in Boulder, CO grocery store this pas Monday. He killed a bunch of people before getting shot by the cops and surrendering. So far, the cops are saying it doesn't look like a American got "radicalized" by Islamic extremism. Instead, according to family and friends, the guy seems to be 1 brick shy of a load. The kicker is just 4 days before junior went off the very ban on the weapon he used was over turned by the district courts.

Now on one end you have the gun control folk and Democratic majority banging the table saying, "See! Get these damned things (assault weapons, i.e. the AR-15 type rifles) out of general population circulation! Ban them! "

On the other end you have the 2nd Amendment folk and Republican majority banging the table saying, "See! Muslim extremists/terrorists are here! It's not the guns, it's them!"

My take is this: If junior had no criminal record or official record of psychological problems, a 7 day waiting period for a background check wouldn't have made a difference. He would have every legal right under Colorado law to buy that weapon. You can only go far in trying to legislate against crazy.

BUT

Once again, the weapon of choice for mass shooters is the AR-15....a sweet little versatile weapon that does EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR....ASSAULTING AND KILLING PEOPLE WITH ACCURACY (as much as the user can apply). Now people will debate until doomsday as to whether the same amount of damage could have been done with other types of rifles or a handgun (or handguns).

BUT

We will NEVER know if the AR-15 is available to ANYONE, ANY TIME, ANY WHERE.

And the band played on. :|

Proves my continuing point that too many weapons are too easily available to too many people that should never have them. And the gun huggers’ response is “more guns”.

What do you think a social media check finds? When my neighbor was undergoing a background check for federal security purposes, they interviewed every neighbor.
