Bring back the 1994 ban that ought to cover it. I think they banned 19 models and certain features.
An "assault rifle" is a selective fire weapon. The 1994 ban did not deal with select fire weapons, which were already heavily regulated by the 1934 NFA and the 1986 FOPA (specifically the Hughes Amendment). The 1994 ban dealt only with semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns.
I think they need to ban you for trying to argue items you have no clue about
No need. I've already got the high ground, why concede any of it?
You should be more interested in throwing your support behind the House Congressional elections in 2014, because that's the only road to getting a Federal AWB passed.I could spend some time outlining exactly what I think should be banned down to the last detail using correct terminology but I highly suspect there are many doing that already I can throw my support behind.
Correct I don't spend time in the gun culture and understand all the nuance.

I consider semi auto rifles with military rounds and combat features assault weapons.
Like I said above most of what was outlawed in 94.
You can stroke the language all you want.
Not really. Legislatively speaking, there is no Federal AWB, no restrictions on AR-15s...when I've got everything to lose and you've got everything to gain, that typically means I have the high ground.Opinions vary.....
It's like arguing with stupidity. Regardless of fact, logic, or reasoning - it's stupid to continue to try and explain things
My point for the stupid dopey retard still stands - he has 0 clue what an assault rifle is
Find another sport then.

Wrong again. The California state ban dealt with models (and that was a lot more than 19). The 1994 federal ban dealt with 5 features: pistol grips, folding/telescoping stocks, flash suppressors, grenade launchers, and bayonet lugs.
The first two items are purely ergonomic features that have nothing to do with the weapon's capability.
Flash suppressors are useless except at night. The irony of that is gun owners replaced them with muzzle brakes which actually enhanced the stability of the rifle and would technically make spree shootings easier.
As for the last two, 37mm grenades are classified as destructive devices which are basically impossible to obtain, so that feature is a red herring. Bayonet lugs... no comment needed.
So why you think the 1994 ban was worth a damn, I have no idea. Care to explain?
Because a rifle capable of loading itself as opposed to the half second I need with a lever action or a second with a bolt gun somehow makes the former capable of "assault" and the latter incapable.
Since there won't be a national ban on high cap mags or anything of the sort anytime soon so perhaps it should be you who needs to find another issue?
But just a moment ago you were for an all out firearms ban. Hi-cap, lo-cap, all-cap.I'll make sure to add the ban on high cap mags to my ban issue then. Thanks for reminding me.

Besides, as I have said, a few 5 gallon cans of gasoline can cause far more horrific damage. If you are batshit crazy enough to do something like this you are batshit crazy enough to do it by any means necessary.

Stick to your convictions :thumbsup:

Good to know the '94 ban was not inclusive enough, I was living in California at the time so I'm probably mixing them.
If rampage killers started using bolt action rifles to kill people I'd give that argument more weight.
My wife just brought up an excellent idea....why doesn't the schools install a button similar to what banks use, that will lock down areas and notify authorities that help is needed immediately? Maybe sound an alarm while at it. It may have not helped but it surely wouldn't have hurt.
You have no idea why the features are there, you don't even know what they are.
You're a fucking idiot.
That's a lot of money to install. People wanting the contents of banks have a higher chance of bringing tools to get past simple security measures.
Good way to win your side of the argument. Bravo.
