Re: Dealing with the Anti's
Here's a similar article on MSNBC of all places..JALLEN wrote:In connection with the discussion about "assault rifle" vs. "assault weapon" you might consider this:

So let’s forgo the arbitrary, ambiguous, fear-mongering terms and get specific about what we actually mean by gun control. It may be politically effective to rail against “rapid-fire, high-capacity assault weapons” but it doesn’t actually mean anything. If we’re serious about solving gun crime, we should at least start by getting the terms right.
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.!

Re: Dealing with the Anti's
On MSNBC, I thought I was having a stroke when I read the opinion piece. Of course the first comment was an attack on the writer and made refernce to youtube videos of someone "bump-firing" a Bushmaster AR15. So that would make the gun capable of "rapid fire, high capacity assault". lol, they'll never stop/learn.RoyGBiv wrote:Here's a similar article on MSNBC of all places..JALLEN wrote:In connection with the discussion about "assault rifle" vs. "assault weapon" you might consider this:

Re: Dealing with the Anti's
As I was enjoying a chuckle over the hyperbole on bumpfiring(BATFE jumped on spring loaded stocks already), my bride thought I should google "Slidefire".
