this thread reminds me of when i went to the doctor last time and he asked me to describe my symptoms then got snooty when i didn't use the *correct* medical terminology.
i then sneezed on him and said, "i'm sick, see?".
i got my message across that way.Comment

Why do you have a car that can do 140mph+ when the speed limit is only 55 - 75mph?
Cars that can reach those speeds are made for speeding only. Over 10,000 deaths occur per year in the USA due to excessive speed. I don't understand why anyone other that professional car racers would need a car that could go that fast. Can a car nut please explain this to me?

I think it's ridiculous how people label anyone who owns a gun a "nut." We should start adding "nut" to the end of everything. Porn nut. Dog nut. Phone nut. Golf club nut.Comment

I'm not concerned about anybody coming for anything.
I'm just trying to explain that the term ASSAULT RIFLE means a select-fire weapon capable of fully-automatic fire or "burst" with each pull of the trigger.
An AR15 is not capable of this, and therefor it is not an assault rifle.
And then you guys keep going with this assault rifle crap.
Incorrect use of the term by the media has you guys calling rifles by the wrong terms, and you guys seem to have great difficulty accepting this.Comment

Study the 2nd Amendment and why it was written and you will understand what the purpose of guns is in the USA. The founding fathers explained it in detail, it shouldn't be so difficult to understand.
The Bill of Rights are something that are meant to last for as long as possible, they are always relevant regardless of how much people are led to believe that "times have changed" or that we're living "in the future" now.Comment

again, as i stated previously, in my haste to complete my post linking the op to SEMI-auto rifles, i wrote "assault" instead of "semi-auto" introducing a link to SEMI-auto weapons.I'm not concerned about anybody coming for anything.

but more importantly, if the general populace is not knowledgeable about guns (many of whom have never even held a gun), as a gun nut, the onus is on you to get people on your page, lest you end up losing your guns to anti-gun nuts who lump them in with automatic weapons, not getting uppity about it. that only makes you look like a gun nut.Comment

I boar hunt with my SKS and yes I have an extended clip, folding stock and the original issue bayonet still mounted. Never took it up to NY though.
No limit on wild boar. Kill as many as fast as you can....Comment

Can't compare cars and guns, because cars are infinitely more useful to civilian society than guns. We can lose guns, but not cars -- unless you want to put wheels on a rifle and load people into it.Why do you have a car that can do 140mph+ when the speed limit is only 55 - 75mph?

mr. phere, you have your work cut out for you......
the new york bill:
Beginning in 1 year:
An assault weapon is any firearm with a detachable magazine, period
All assault weapons will be registered
7 rounds maximum is the new magic number
Any magazine larger than 10 rounds will be confiscated
No new 10 round magazines allowed after this new ban, preban 10-rounders are grandfathered (7rounds max)
NICS background check to buy 1 bullet, which can only be sold by authorized retailers
derp eh.Comment

How are laws like that going to stop things from happening like what happened in Connecticut? The kid supposedly stole the guns from his mother, it wouldn't have made any difference if the guns were "registered" or not.Comment

i couldn't care less.
i posted that to point out to dude that his definition of assault is not getting very far with the no-gun nuts and in the general populace.Comment
