This is the Ruger Mini-14. It uses the same bullets (.223) as the AR-15.



But it's made of wood and obviously doesnt look like an assault rifle that u see on TV.

So is there a definition of assault rifle?

An assualt rifle has selective fire and can go:
BANG.....BANG.....BANG.....thirty TIMES THEN "CLICK
or BBBANG....BBBANG.....ten time then "CLICK"
or BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBANG.....then "CLICK"

And your regular self loading rifle with a thirty shot clip(actually a magazine)
goes BANG....BANG....BANG....BANG/JAM!!
And the shooter goes "%###@@!!!!&&*##.

Pistol grips, folding stocks, flash hiders, bayonet lugs, etc. are just cosmetic.

Its an assault rifle when seen through the brain dead eyes of a liberal.

Reportedly this is the weapon used to murder unarmed people including children in the mass killing in Norway.

Doesn't seem all that funny to me.

btw, do you really think people who have hateful thoughts just based on political disagreements should be allowed to buy firearms ?

fists, clubs, bats, and other weapons were used to murder more people than rifles.

whats your point?

are you making a point. Because I missed it.

Fact is liberals hate the 2nd amendment, and are always working around ways to limit it.
They've gotten to the point where any gun is an 'assault' weapon.
They also think that semi automatic weapons fire hundreds of rounds a second.

Truth. I've had to explain semi-auto action to plenty of folks and they thought it meant "sprays boolits everywhere" like they see in the picture tube.

Blame the media. Omg! It was semi-auto weapon!

LOL and your use of the word "sensible" like the media lately when it comes to gun control laws.

Your definition of sensible and my definition are not the same thing here. You are trying to apply an adjective that has no bearing unless a common definition can be applied. What I find sensible is the removal of the 1986 ban and the then we'll discuss thing further.

Sensible gun control laws would be the following:
1) Any law abiding American that can pass a criminal and mental health background check should be allowed to purchase and own any firearm they want (including fully automatic weapons) in their own and on their property as they see fit.

2) Unless taking a handgun to a range or another designated area for safe discharging for the intent of practice/hunting, or to take a firearm to be repaired, or to take a firearm to be sold/traded, or to place the in a personal vehicle. Public carrying of a handgun on a person requires a license. Handgun licenses require full training which would include gun safety, crisis training, and handling training. Reasonable fee for training may be given, but no additional fees to apply for the license may be incurred (ie no "tax" for the license). No fully automatic handguns for conceal carry licenses will be allowed.

3) See #2 for long guns except the license required to conceal carry as long guns aren't allowed for conceal carry protection.

4) Removal of "gun free" zones. If a person is allowed to publicly be in a place legally and they are legally allowed to carry concealed, then they should be able to carry. The exceptions would be:

Private property owners can deny legal handgun carry owners to bring their handguns on to their property

Any public place with an armed protection service in place can asked to check in a concealed carry holder's handgun for the duration that the gun owner is at that public venue.



That would be it. Leave the actual training methods and guidelines for concealed carry licenses up to the state level. To me, that would be sensible.

That can't happen because then citizens would still have guns.

Suck it liberals. Suck it down.

I sold an m1a last weekend with 1,000rds of ammo and 10 20rd mags to someone in wal-mart parking lot, no background check for him, just cash and a handshake. Didn't even get his name. They can suck on that too. :awe:

and if your M1A was used in a mass murder and the gun was left there, wouldnt they be able to trace the serial back to you?

I bought my rifle from my dealer in an Applebee's parking lot. Along with 5 lower receivers.

And then we had many beers.

Right, but the gubberment talks of assault weapons.



....but it's not an 'assault weapon' unless I put a vertical foregrip and a collapsable shoulder stock on it. And it's black.

yes which begs the question, why do they paint the AR-15 black to look like an assault rifle when its not? is it to boost sales? cause it certainly looks cooler to have a rifle that LOOKS like an assault rifle, than a brown hunting rifle. Sad really, but that's what it is.

Soldiers don't use auto or burst though. Well known fact.

really? in our infantry FIBUA (fighting in built up areas) training they recommended it, semi auto. This was close quarters combat in war zones when clearing buildings, definitely not peace keeping or patrols.

Maybe it was this guy. Or someone like him. Not your problem though, is it ? Whoever this guy got his gun from, he/she undoubtably was a lot like you.
