As I've said, assault rifles were banned and haven't been allowed to be sold to the public since 1986. All you "gun haters" need to watch this 6 minute video and understand what is currently being talked about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C-CLsMRcA0_________________  Still missing you everyday pal.

The biggest myth being perpetuated out there right now. And it's all based on appearance. Basically the same as arresting a woman for prostitution based on the clothes she's wearing when she goes out for a night on the town. If it looks like it and all... Also, this very video is being discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=64989  _________________ I blog, I tweet. When I'm not writing or goofing around on Seahawks.NET.

Sorry, didn't see it posted. But you know this forum, they tend to ignore things they don't have intelligent answers for. So an extra posting won't hurt.  _________________ Still missing you everyday pal.

I don't think anyone is "chicken" for not responding. This thread is just a rehash of the other gun threads. Banning military "style" weapons doesn't make sense because "style" is not a strict enough qualifier. There are other facets of gun control legislation that make a lot of sense.

I didn't post anything yesterday, but I did share this video with some friends and family. I think a lot of people don't know the distinction between these two rifles. I do, but I enjoyed watching the comparison anyway.
It's a shame that politicians are exploiting this play on words to ban these "assault weapons" just to look like they're doing something about the problem.

I thought that fully automatic assault rifles were banned but that you could still buy a semi-automatic assault rifle. That was my understanding of the current gun laws in the US and that video confirmed it (more or less). I can understand why people would want to ban assault rifles because it is possible to give a semi-auto rifle full auto capabilities. You just have to know what you're doing. I personally would not make my gun full auto because I have no training with those weapons and my accuracy will be shittier than it already is. More important is the ever increasing cost of ammunition. Do I have the money to turn a semi-auto rifle into a full auto rifle? Maybe. Do I have the money to spend on ammunition while I learn how to shoot accurately with it? Nope. Not to mention that I could break the damn thing while attempting to make the change.

Not only that, but if you get caught tampering with the gun it is a felony I believe. Really not worth it IMO as you can still just keep pulling the trigger and bullets come out until it goes *click*
