Personal defenition of "Assualt Weapons"
1). Has a rate of fire between 1,000 to 500 Rounds per Minute.
2). Is full or semi automatic.
3). Fires rounds ranging from 9mm to 7.62 NATO.
4). Can use a variation of different sights.
5). Can be fitted with a flash suppressor and/or a silencer.
6). Is a civilan variation of a military weapon.
7). Is a military weapon (this includes sub-variations of the orignal weapon.)
8). Can have the prefixes AR, AK, or M.

Honest question here, why in the world would someone feel the need to own what some might call an assualt weapon?

Honest answer, it is the best weapon I can buy that will fulfill the Militia function for which it was intended. While it is somewhat obsolete compared to present day military weapons it uses the same caliber ammunition and many of the same parts which would better allow me to perform my duties as a militiaman should my community need me to do so. It's not a toy or a penile extension it is a tool that helps to maintain our freedom.

Now since we're talking about honest questions. Why do you personally need the right to free speech? What have you said or intend to say that justifies having this right? What about the right to privacy? Why do you need privacy from government inspection? Are you involved with a political movement that the government would like to squash?

See where playing the need game gets you? Any right can be considered as unneeded by somebody. We surrender our rights at our peril.

Come to think of it, the assault weapon ban list, looking through it, I don't think that this:



would count as an Assault Weapon...

Not to junk up the thread, but it is an interesting topic.

Can you legally have an unmanned remote controled semi-automatic weapon on a tri-pod secured in a safe location on private property?

Just wondering, really not in the mood to do so, but it surely would offer a safe option for armed intruders to fire back at a unmanned gun.

You could set them up at the school perimeters. Noone will get near them then.

As for you other questions let me answer those with some other questions.
Would you rather have no free speech or you speech so limited that if you say the "wrong thing", the government would arrest you, throw you into prison, or execute you after beating you to a bloody pulp?
As for privacy, would you prefer to have random un-known persons walking though your house or yard? Because without the right to privacy someone could do that and theres nothing you could legally do about it.

Anyways please try to stay on topic, my question was relivent to the thread since the question was about assault weapons.

They make stuff like that for AirSoft so I'd bet they'd work for real firearms.

I belong to the militia mentioned in the US Constitution. If you are asking whether I belong to some armed political or social sub group, then no I do not. I haven't even sent in my NRA membership yet.

I know what I would prefer but i'm not the one advocating the limitation of anyone's rights. I'm just trying to determine whether you can justify a need for those rights and others. Personally I see a need for all of my rights including the ones not mentioned in the US constitution but especially the ones that are.

And I answered it. I regret if it does not meet with your approval.

That is so good ... thank you kindly

They even make a paintball version so I could use fluorescent ones at night then call the cops telling them what to look for.

$499.99 airsoft version/ $599.99 paintball version + shipping

The Airsoft version uses a electronic relay to fire your gun with its intended battery so there is no performance gains to the gun itself.
The paintball version has a special electronic trigger mechanism to fire a mechanical trigger, no performance gains to the gun itself. No problems with regulations yet.

I don't know Oberon, but if those cannon were shooting grapeshot at me, that would definitely be an assault on my body!

It's scary really, why someone should need so many bullets, shooting for fun?. They are going to ban the selling of large clips?.

Pathfinder, but this was a first, an armed door man for a gunshop,, has the world truley gone mad I hope so, a 100 bucks for 6 hours of talking to people, one could get use to that.. Is there any thing else you liberals would like to ban I could really use the work..Almost forgot thank you Lord for your blessings today, the cash, pizza, the cokes and the extra boxes of ammo.
