but basically this gun has the characteristics of an assault rifle and hence should be banned. if you need to shoot varmits you can buy a 22LR.
Did you see the picture I posted of the mini 14, does the same thing as an AR-15, same ammo, same capacity. Yet it's not a assault weapon. Like most in this thread, the politicians know jack shit about guns, assault ammo? the .223 is a tiny bullet used for hunting varmits
you know the .223 is an assault type ammo.
give up what rights?
and dont we pay the government, police, military to protect us all from the boogie man?
perhaps one area we should leave to professionals and give them the tools to keep everyone out of harms way and make everyone feel safe so there is no need for a gun in the car.."Obscenity is whatever gives the Judge an erection." -- Author UnknownComment

I have to pay to register my car. Why don't we have to pay to register firearms?
Why do we need a license to drive a car, yet we don't require a license to own a firearm?Herschel Savage

Are you trying to make an analogy to armed US Citizens taking up arms against the US Government?True, This! ?
Beneath the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! ? itself is nothing! ?
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! ? Take away the sword ?
States can be saved without it!
have you never read the stories of the 3 musketeers and Cardinal Richelieu who tried to take over France by disarming the country of the Musketeers?Comment

That sounds awfully like a police state out of V for Vendetta (which is actually on point, as the Brits surrendered to a police state after children died in the comic/movie).
In Washington, we literally have a camera on every corner. Now we get to look forward to federally funded law enforcement patrolling our schools.
And no, I'm not a tin foil right winger living in West Virginia (actually, an Obama voting Dem that owns guns).Comment

Maybe... But that is only a part of the problem. Just because you have a single armed guard doesn't mean he (she) will be able to stop a shooter. In the Columbine, officers showed up at the scene and the killings kept on going.
And this only protects schools - not shopping malls or movies. Or churches.
Then... By the time you require an armed guard to take out a shooter, it's already too late. The damage will have been done. This is like saying "The best way to handle drunk drivers to run them over after they have killed someone".Herschel Savage

no, i was stating you knew nothing of what the pen was mightier than the sword meant, I know all too well were that saying came from , I had a government teacher that was very enlightening about how people lose their rights and don't even know it.
You're the one that's afraid of citizens using their constitutional right to own a firearm. I'm keeping mineCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment

I think you are mistaken:
"The idiom 'the pen is mightier than the sword' means that words and communication are more powerful than wars and fighting."

I'm done for the night, guns aren't the problem, I've been around them my whole life, I have shot just about every kind of gun there is. That's the biggest difference between a liberal and a conservative. America is a great country, liberals want to change that. I don't believe any tax, law or fee that infringes on constitutional rights is warranted. If we give that up, what do you want to give up next? Yeah I don't trust the government, I depend on them as little as I can, anyone that has not seen the rights we have lost over the last decade all in the name of security is blind.

The pen is mightier than the sword" is a metonymic adage coined by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839 for his play Richelieu; Or the ConspiracyI think you are mistaken:
