Firearms. Yea or Nay?

[blue]

Dan my boy!!! Whats happen-in? LOL

You and your AK's.... I just never got into AKs. Probably because the only AKs I ever fired were ones we captured from bad guys and those were very poorly maintained. However, they WERE very poorly maintained, yet continued to function. If I treated my M-4 like that, it would go 'click' and not bang. Very bad when you need it most.

Exact reason went the AK rout rather then ARs. I trained on the M16A2 at MCRD San Diego, way to picky a rifle. Im sure the M4 and CARs are just as picky. If Stoner put out the Stoner47 I would probably buy one, I have plenty of magazines. I got lucky with my Romanian SARs, all have good straight sights and a good build on USA recievers. Reliability is also the reason my first handgun was a Glock, the S&W .40 is allmost a clone of my Glock my other handgun.

Uzi.. Fired one a few times. Both semi and auto. Meh. It was accurate, for a sub gun. Great for CQB, but would not be worth much on the battlefield. but also remember, I was/am a tanker. Anything smaller than .50cal is just a toy.

A .50 BMG Barret is on my short list.

My $.02 on 'gun control'. Gun control solves nothing. CRIMINAL control solves most things.

Glad to see ya here Dan. I give ya 2-3 weeks till you get a spankin from the mods.

Kansas recently passed a law making automatic weapons legal. We already have a concealed weapon law. Now everyone can hide their machine guns in their pants legeally!!!

Stupid law really! Don't need an automatic weapon to kill a deer.

Machine guns are tightly controlled by federal law. With few exceptions the federal controls are far, far tighter than a state could ever enforce.

What LH said....

Plus...

Never forget that the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting. It is about the fundamental human right to self defence. Period. It is a bonus that this right also gives us an 'easier' way to harvest our own meat.

So what's the big difference between a rapid fire automatic weapon or a machine gun? Both can kill far faster than you need for hunting deer!!!

One of the biggest arguments for guns is hunting animals not for hunting people. Maybe they should pass a law that you have to eat what you kill???

I am not trying to be critical, but I think you really do not have a grasp of this issue. You show me this by saying, "So what's the big difference between a rapid fire automatic weapon or a machine gun?" I mean, is there a SLOW firing, automatic weapon? Or do you mean SEMI-automatic. Do you even know the difference? (Again, not being critical, I just want to try and unsderstand where you are coming from, logically.) Let me help...

SEMI-Automatic = Weapon fires one shot with one pull of the trigger and then reloads a fresh cartridge without any manual action by the user.

Automatic = Weapon fires, reloads and continues to fire on a single trigger pull, until trigger is released.

Machine Gun = Generally speaking, a machine gun is a crew served (meaning it takes at least 2 people to properly operate it.) fully automatic and BELT fed weapon.

Assault Rifle = A weapon where you can be set to fire either in SEMI or FULLY automatic mode. (I.e. select fire. A firearm might LOOK like an assault rifle, but rarely is technically one.)

Perhaps you can help me by explaining your position on gun control? What do you believe should be done and WHY.

What do you mean by "One of the biggest arguments for guns is hunting animals not for hunting people." Where do you get that from?


This issue is obviously a very emotional one for a lot of people. Often simply because people do not understand, or have a false understanding of guns. OR, they suffer from hoplophobia, which is a simple and unreasonable fear of guns themselves.

Sorry Karen... it wasn't a knock on you. More of an inside joke from another forum we know each other from lol.
