Technically, aren't all firearms made with the purpose of "assaulting" enemies or targets? Surely that's what you would call throwing high speed projectiles at someone with intent to do harm.
Sure, I have a car, but it's a non-driving car. It's the kind that wasn't made to actually go anywhere. I plant flower in it and use it for a lawn ornament. It sure was expensive, though.
Assaulting is what firearms are FOR. It's the definition of their function, their raison d'etre. Discussing which firearm is for assaulting what target and in what particular fashion may be beside the point.email: [email protected]Comment

Our right to have guns was not put into our constitution for hunting. That is a common misconception perpetrated by the media. It is to fight against government tyranny. As long as everything is cool, you don't need a semi automatic rifle with a big clip. But ask the Korean Grocers on top of their store during the South Central riots if they needed assault rifles when mobs of looters were roaming the streets looking for places to loot and people to beat up. When the infrastructure breaks down due to a natural disaster, or man made disaster, and the police can't handle the level of chaos, then we need the power to protect ourselves from mayhem. I know you probably believe the government always has your personal interests in mind and they just want to make sure you and your family is safe with everything they do, but there are those of us who like the check and balance of an armed population.Last edited by MakingItPay; 01-15-2013, 03:20 PM.Giant Boob High Def Trifectas

this isn't about me. I couldn't give a shit what the difference is when it comes down to it. but it's clear you did not read 1 word of the actual bill.
I simply came in here and posted a link to an article about some assault rifles that can double as hunting rifles, you are the one with the need to have everyone on your page using your jargon.Comment

hey derpy,
N.Y. ADC. LAW ยง 10-301 : NY Code - Section 10-301: Control and regulation of the disposition, purchase and possession of firearms, rifles, shotguns and assault weapons
http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/nycode/ADC/10/3/10-301

as i said, you have a lot of work to do to get everybody on your page of definitions.Comment

Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth ~ tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. - George Washington
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed. - Thomas JeffersonComment

you know, i could try and explain to you how assault rifle falls under the definition of assault weapon but I know that would zing right over ya head, so instead i'll point out the obvious-
i originally posted a comment that cleared up 1 of the OP's misconceptions about assault weapons and in so doing also provided a link and testimony showing the validity of assault rifles in hunting, in essence arguing FOR the right to be able to own that sort of weapon
and it was the gun nut in the thread who waxed right over that point in favor of smugly pointing out he is the only one who understands the lingo.
if any of you gun nuts want to understand what your problem is in arguing your position, you only need to look at this.Comment

that was in 1776 250 years ago. The US wont let you own a cannon today, but people could have them back then. you do get to bear arms, its called hand guns but you can't have machine guns or rocket launchers right? the assault rifle is no different it is military and has no purpose with private citizens you can't deny that either.Comment
