the difference is a car with 300 hp will most likely not kill 20+ people. A high capacity mag will.
Try and keep up wid us, Waves.....this is a non-pollitical
lighthearted thread about what idiots the anti-assault rifle
(whatever that is) crowd is. Wouldn't you agree ?
If I roll up my "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue" and swat
a fly, would the mag be classified as an "Assault Mag" ?
Jus' sayin'
Cheaper than dirt is under an internal and AFT investigation. Thats why they pulled all there guns. Im not sure for what. This info was obtained from a friend who is an NRA instructor.

I agree with the whatever "assault" weapon/rifle means. I hate that term. Its a media generated term designed to inflame non gun owners and ignorant people.
I have hunted since I was 5, although every year I seem to take less and less pleasure in the actual killing. I will defend hunting weapons to the end but you will never convince me to defend high capacity (my definition is 5+ rounds) magazines. Face it folks, regulation is coming and you don't have any arguments against it. If you think you are actually gonna defend yourself against a overreaching government cause you can carry a few more rounds you're dreaming.
You best hope they don't go Australia on us and ban all semiautomatic weapons with mandatory buybacks. Cause they will have the public support to do it. We'll be lucky if its just magazines.
I just hope they do something about mental health care as well. Its terribly screwed up in this country. Privatization screwed it up royally.
Last thing re the cars....when's the last time you heard of someone using a car to deliberately kill 20+ people? I rest my case.
so the question is who has any I can buy??
"any" what ?
A Great American, The Greatest Movie Star, past NRA President and the Man I Always Greatly admired , Charlton Heston once said, the Only Way my Guns will be taken from me is by prying them from my Cold Dead Hands, and I agree, Period ..................
:wtg:
Alcohol+automobiles kill appx 10,000 people a year, 181 children under 14 were killed as a part of that statistic every year, appx the same number who are killed in the same age group every year by firearms. Included in these statistics is the fact that over 300,000 people each year are caught driving under the influence.
While as a father of a small child I am saddened, and outraged by the tradgedy in Connecticut, I fail to see how we can stop people from breaking ANY laws? "Gun Free school zones" how did that help? Murder ? That started the day for this killer before leaving the house? People that want to perform these acts prey on the weak, and gain their 15 minutes of fame for the most part posthoumously. For that matter if you want a 170 mph car why? But as long as you follow the law why can't you have it? The same goes true for hi-cap magazines, alcohol, and other products that can be misused to cause greivous harm.
Do we need clips with 30 rounds in em... He'll no! If your hunting and need 30 shots you shouldn't be hunting. If you using it for self defense and miss the first couple shots... Well it's too late for you anyway. If its for target practice.. Well ok but it's going to be expensive. Do I own one now or will I ever own one ...not a chance.
Did it cause the deaths in any way.. Not a chance. Had this argument with my dad. If all he could get was 10 round clips just as many people would be dead, and if not 26, would 10-15 been acceptable? Banning large clips is probably coming as there is NO justified reason we really need them, however the problem will be far from solved.
The crazy sob would have used a knife if he had to. Again plenty of deaths.
To bear arms you are correct. I have a houseful of weapons and ammo and am an avid hunter too, so take this how you want
There is NO damn good reason for those high capacity clips
PERIOD! the only argument is if we let them take that.. What's next..
Ok I get that
When there is no HOPE for these young people it seems in their mind there is CHANGE. I for one see no reason to attack the mags or the black guns, i do see a reason to be mad as hell with the judicial system when you have a known problem but you dilly dally around ane wait to see what the outcome is gonna be, by the way, whatever came of the Ft Hood guy, did they execute him yet?
I enjoy shooting alot. I enjoy shooting high cap mags. That's the only reason I need. It's not up to the gov. to tell me how and why I should enjoy myself. I can do more damage with one round than 50 if I wanted to. Ijumped through some serious hoops to have the types of firearms that I do. If I let some idiot get a hold of one of them, that's my fault, not the gun or magazine.
I have read many times that after Pearl Harbor, Many leaders of Japan wanted to continue the United States attack by invading but, gave up that idea when told by other leaders who were Educated in the USA that the typical American was Armed along with it's Military and that would not likely work .......( The countries who were not Armed were overrun quickly)

Very True

30 rd mags are harder to find than gold
