Legalized Assualt Rifles = Not good

I think this is crazy because assualt rifles aren't made for sport hunting. They are made for killing a large amount of people in a short amount of time. Now wouldn't you just love your local postal worker delivering mail with a good ol M16.

it dosn't matter anyway.
if someone want's to buy an assult rifle, a ban isn't gonna stop them.


Yes it will.

There are many people out there who want an assault rifle but who won't get one because of the ban.

Bush said he supports the ban, yet he hasn't done a thing about it.

if he does something about it, thats one less reason for democrats to vote for him. he's gonna hold back everything.

also, if you want an assult rifle, a ban isn't able to stop you.



Yes it is. Does it stop everyone? No. Does it stop a lot of people? Yes.

Also now comanies can make just military issue versions of gun, so the price of guns will lower even more so more people can buy them. US pretty soon will have more assault rifles then Iraq.

I'm even tempted to buy one.

Though, I sincerely do not feel the enjoyment of a few gun enthusiasts to own assault weapons warrants them being legal.

Ach! Was ist los?

I, for one, can't really see why anyone outside the military would want an assault rifle.

Modern assault rifles are designed to wound, not kill. The idea is that Kill = One less to worry about, Wound = Victim plus Medics and supplies.

And AR's suck when it comes to home defense. Just get a 12-gauge.

Really? It seems to me that anything designed to fire tablets of lead at high speeds is intended to kill.

The 'assualt weapons ban' is/was actually misleading, if not an out and out farce. The guns, such as an SKS or an AR-10, were still available for purchase legally from certain...retailers, but specific weapon components, such as high-capacity clips and sound/flash suppressors were illegal. Now, you can legally purchase items like these. It really changes nothing.

Yeah. Manufacturers just changed product names, or a few simple details about an assault rifle and got it by the ban filter.

Ass rifle? I'm not familiar with that type of weapon...or maybe I am...is that when you eat too much taco bell and orient your ass in someone's general direction?

Theres a reason they started using 5.56 mm ammo. They travel faster, farther, more accurately, and because they travel with such veloocity, they basically shatter everything inside. If you want to wound but not kill, I suggest 9mm ammo. HOWEVER you can kill someone with ANY gun. SO the point is, assault weapons are designed to KILL

Actually, BobBQ is correct here; modern 5.56mm (and other caliber) rifles were designed with non-fatal results in mind; although they defintely can be lethal, obviously.

The US Military is actually coming under criticism lately from small-arms experts for sticking with the aging 5.56 M-16 service rifle, and M-4 carbine, specifically because it is a LOW velocity round, with LESSER range and accuracy compared to (some) 7.62mm rifles, including the US's own M-14 rifle.
