Question for you Anti-Assault rifle people

Again, that "also" definition is derived from the deliberate misuse of the term by control freaks.

You cannot possibly be asking me to take the definition of assault rifle from an anonymous and totally obscure message board poster, over the definition given by Webster's Dictionary.

So again, this whole assault rifle ploy it's nothing more than that, a ploy to eventually ban all guns. So why do you dishonestly use the term assault rifle, when you actually mean all semi-automatic weapons including the simple 22 rifle? To mention nothing of semi-automatic handguns. For that matter you could mow down a classroom of first graders with a revolver quite easily.

No, it is not. It is a hope that we can take military assault weapons which were designed to kill lots of people as fast as possible off the streets.
You can defend your family from the mythical marauders with a gun. Any weapon in your home makes your home less safe and adds danger to them all. But if you envision playing cops and robbers in your life, have at it. But you do not need a device that spreads bullets like a hose.
The truth is those guns were designed to compensate for the poor shooting abilities of Air Force people. I worked on a program that developed them. The M16 was eventually modified and adopted by the army. The military brass used to joke about airforce soldiers terrible shooting ability. Spraying bullets was the idea.

Not at all. The first part of that dictionary definition is completely accurate. It's the additional definition that's based upon misuse of the term by those with an agenda. You won't find anyone knowledgeable on the subject using that definition. It's only the ignorant who do.

Um, many of us know more than the gun nuts on the issue. We talk about reinstating limitations and suddenly we're banning guns. They don't have reasoned discourse they have trigger reactions. All the knowledge in the world won't do you any good without reasoning. Without reasoning, you forsake knowledge for base impulsive reactions. Anymore it's just a bunch of unoriginal parroting. Any knowledge they have seems to be taking a backseat.

It's hilarious that a large pistol that can down a person with a good shot isn't considered sufficient for protection. Anyting bigger doesn't seem practical for a quick response.

You're the one who lacks reasoning. All you have is "base impulsive reactions".

Mason knows a semiautomatic weapon can kill a lot of people in a very short time.

So can a pump shotgun. There's a reason they're known as trench guns and Street Sweepers. If I still had any guns for self defense, one would be a large caliber semiautomatic handgun, with a 12 gauge pump shotgun as a backup.

Two statements to make:

First gun nuts like to wear guns because it make them feel all powerful; they need to feel like somebody.

Second The NRA tells us that: gun don't kill people; people do, but I say that people kill people with guns.

People kill people lots of ways using lots of methods. Control freaks just hate guns, because they're scary.

Canada has banded hand guns and assault rifles for years now, and their mass shootings are much lower than ours.

They never had much in the way of mass shootings, neither have most of the states that border Canada, despite not having those strict gun laws.

In Canada it is illegal to possess a hand gun. But you can own fire arms for hunting. The 303 British is a very popular hunting rifle in Canada.

If it's already illegal to possess a handgun, why are they threatening a handgun ban? Apparently their already strict laws aren't working all that well.
