I personnaly know atlest 10 people that own equipment that can manufacture any part I need to convert or build a complete weapon.

I can build advanced Zip style weapons in my basement now if I so wish.
Hell, I could do that in the field if need be.

It didn't take that much to make the 45 cal grease gun of WW2 of course ammo will start to be an issue,, it was a circus at the gun shop today people lined up outside...

when the constitution was being written there was two forms of firearm in the 1700s the musket and the rifle and at the time the rifled flintlock was far more supeior than the musket

Yes there were only two types of firearm, all the other types of the 1700s didn't exist.

So what part of not to be infringed upon don't you understand.

The bit about criminals the bit about nuts the bit about blacks, you know general everyday stuff.

Hey yubs , how long have you been going on about the huge amount of trade the gun store is doing? every other news item gest you running up from the dumpster with your "people are buying guns" story.
Do they keep losing them and having to buy another or are they really really scared of whichever bogeyman Beck is taliking about that day?

Even a little scissor and other none weaponary things can be an assault weapon in the hand of a person who knows how to use them.

Hey, Tribes, Merry Christmas, your liberal media doesn't want to talk about nuts, crimials, and how bad it is in black neighborhoods because it doesn't fit the narrative I see Michigan became a right to work state haven't heard much from the Libs on this except violent threats,,if they say blood should be spilled,, now who's blood would that be ??????? Well the gun shop sold out all it's semi auto loader military look a likes but he has plenty of pistols and shotguns,,so go ahead and say you want to ban something while you are trashing the constitution and the priciples of this great country and see what happens 3 million votes in the popular vote is hardly a landslide, and just because the states with the most debt had the most electroial votes, just means there are more takers than producers..and it will cost the taxpayers another 4 million taxpayer dollars to send your boy on his christmas vacation,, while storm victims huddle in the cold...

• Grenade launcher (more precisely, a muzzle device that enables launching or firing rifle grenades, though this applies only to muzzle mounted grenade launchers and not those mounted externally).

Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

• Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
• Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
• Barrel shroud that can be used as a hand-hold
• Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
• A semi-automatic version of a fully automatic firearm.

Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:

• Folding or telescoping stock
• Pistol grip
• Fixed capacity of more than 5 rounds
• Detachable magazine.

Notice this list excludes most of the guns people today are referring to as assault weapons.

agree, although I think telescoping stocks should be exempt, as long as a minimum size folded is kept, so it can be adjustable

also, I think there should be a law that compensators be reverse threaded and flash suppressors and sliencers be standard thread, or vice versa. while one serves a purpouse for accuracy (the compensator) the others are more about clandestine killing rather than target shooting. I for one, would want a pistol that could have an attached compensator for sport shooting purposes but have no need for flash hiders

Bayonet mounts. Now there's an imminent danger to the public, bayonet charges. Why not just say "if it looks black and scary it's an AW"?

Assault rifle: A semi-automatic rifle styled to look like a military weapon with little or no hunting value, but certain to inflate the ego of people who play too many video games and watch too many violent movies about gangsters, drug lords, war heroes, and assassins.

All clear people it's got a Hello Kitty sticker on it.

so go ahead and say you want to ban something while you are trashing the constitution and the priciples of this great country and see what happens

Errrrrr...what exactly have I said I want to ban and what constitution and principles have been trashed?
Are you back on the booze again as you seem to be even more confused than usual?

3 million votes in the popular vote is hardly a landslide

Is this the same yubba that claimed the popular vote was lost by your current president?

Well the gun shop sold out all it's semi auto loader military look a likes but he has plenty of pistols and shotguns

So that crazy rash of handgun purchases with people queing round the block you were on about for many months didn't deplete the stocks of pistols, I bet they feel silly waiting all that time in the queue when they could have just walked in when it was quiet.

Corrected that for you.

I agree.

Lets keep is civil people!

There are many members that will not participate in these things if sniping appears to be going on.

If your incapable of resorting to personal attacks in defense of your statements, the value of your opinion to the discussion is negated.

This is a valid question and arguing point.

This is trolling.

Just so everyone knows.

So, now because I own these so called "assault weapons", people can pass judgement on my personal character or psychological makeup? Through the internet even?


Also, the amount of ignorance about them in this thread is quite astounding.

So that's what you think I own my AR-15 for Neal? Like Fatseas says in the preceding post:

Well how condescending and ignorant you are Neal Stevens.
