I own an ar 15. It s scary because it looks scary. Barely any crimes are committed with this rifle.Gern Blansten said:
It's being sold as a "sporting" weapon...it's not. It's an assault weapon built for war.
However when I fire my m1 garand i shit my pants. This one weapon literally killed tens of thousands of nazis, japs, Chinese, North Koreans, nva and Vietcong. I can't imagine being hit by one of those bullets. It is a pure weapon of war. Crazy that everyone wants to ban an ar15 because they look scary but no one ever mentions the garand because they look pretty.Post edited by mcgruff10 onI'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
By the way, what evidence do you have? I hate to quote the 2nd amendment and all.....and heller....Gern Blansten said:

Yes, you can quote the 2nd amendment and the heller case. Just as we can say that no gun designed specifically for military use in warfare should be released for public sale. That doesn't infringe upon your right to bear arms. You can still own guns.will myself to find a home, a home within myself

But there are military guns released for public sales. The ar 15 is not one of them. Why go after this gun? It accounts to minuscule deaths..., is it because it s scary looking? Be honest.Degeneratefk said:

Are you kidding?mcgruff10 said:
You haven't seen enough of its capacity to wreak havoc and death that you're willing to tolerate another f**king elementary school shooting... or movie theatre shooting... or mall shooting as some maniac expresses his rage with it?
Come on Scruffy.
There's simply no need for a weapon like this in the hands of the average, everyday common citizen.
None. Other than to let the average, everyday common citizen have a fancy gun to shoot shit with."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
It's got nothing to do with looks. That's just absurd. Look what that guns did in Sandy hook and tell me it doesn't just tear human flesh to pieces. I don't really care how many deaths it accounts for. It's not designed for civilian use.mcgruff10 said:will myself to find a home, a home within myself

It's not just because it looks scary, you would have a pretty difficult time sneaking a Garand into a movie theater to mow people down indiscriminately, and you wouldn't have a fore grip and huge magazine for greatest terrorist effect either.mcgruff10 said:

the number of suicides by gun I believe actually does out-number violent gun deaths, I was just reading some stuff on the interweb that had some pretty interesting facts.PJ_Soul said:
That's funny, but is a very good point.
I know that I wouldn't really have any issue with guns if people only used them to kill themselves by choice.

I do enjoy shooting shit with my fancy gun. When are you coming to the range with me?Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

get a shotgun. In my world you wouldn't have an AR-15PJPOWER said:
I'm pretty sure the rifles the military uses are fully automatic and not semi-auto only (like the AR-15).
There are many many semi-auto rifles out there in different platforms that fire at the exact same rate as AR-15s and have been used for hunting for years. Oh, I forgot, AR-15s "look scary".
I would rather ban the toy replicas that encourage improper safe handling.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

Right....but someone wanting to use it for mass murder won't follow the lawtempo_n_groove said:
Also the add on to make the weapon automatic is a felony. Why a legal gun owner would do that is beyond me.
So why is the modded stock even available?
At least by banning the weapon we make it more difficult to obtain.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

Lol, shotgun just pisses them off. Even buck shot will sometimes bounce off them. I load my own ammo specifically for the game I'm hunting... Just like I would not use a rifle for quail, I don't use a shotgun for wild pigs.Gern Blansten said:0 -
Because it's an assault weapon. The maker even states that it shouldn't be for public use or sale.mcgruff10 said:
You disagree....that's fine.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

I saw a real AK47 or what ever you call it at a gun shop for $26,000 and was told that the real ones are very hard to get ahold of and the people that have them wont sell them easily, have any of you heard of this ?

I don't know what he means by "real"? The first generation created by the Russians in the late 40s? Even then I doubt it is near that much. They are cheap because millions have been made, how else would so many small arms rebels around the world get such a supply of them? I believe it's one of the most, if not the most manufactured gun world wide.0

ummmmmm I'm sorry maybe it was another rifle, but there was no mistaking the price tag and it was that kind of rifle I was looking at, forgive my weapons ignorance I was just curious if you had seen or heard such a thing.mace1229 said:I don't know what he means by "real"?
