I continue ask the same question, “Is there any ‘other’ kind of rifle?”

mine are all defensive rifles.

'Assault rifles' have a legal and useful place in hunting

That they do! I use mine for protection of my hunting arms!

[tacticalogic]

I’ve been waiting for CA to legalize the AR again. How much longer, do ya think?

My ‘new” plinking toy is a Bushmaster .223 A3 Shorty !

Hunting isn't an enumerated right. Owning a fully functional assault rifle to defend oneself from tyranny is.

"For hunting purposes" is a red herring put out by the anti-2A crowd in an attempt to separate sportsman from the 2A.

Thank you, Mr Dictionary... do you have a point?

I like this broad brush stroke... self-righteous zealots among their subscribers and members

This idiot doesn't realize if it was not for the zealous nature of gun-owners, we'd all be British.

Sad. The Fudds are still missing the point after the entire Zumbo bruhaha. *Sigh*

The Second Ammendment ain't about hunting, Elmer.

"I think the anonymity of the Internet allows the worst of people's personalities to come out."

I guess people don't much like being compared with terrorists, simply because they own a semi-automatic rifle.

"I think the anonymity of the Internet allows the worst of people's personalities to come out."

It sure allowed us to read Jim Zumbo's true beliefs.

Anybody ever order from Ozark Guns? Are they reliable?

They have a great deal on a left-handed Remington 700 BDL .308.

“in case you are attacked by a whole bunch of squirrels”

Hey, urban killer squirrels are real and they do attack in packs.

They’re also smart enough to know that most human big-city dwellers are usually disarmed and helpless.

Original factory 10-round mags are a little box containing the rotary mechanism. Aftermarket magazines with capacities up to 50 rounds are more bananna shaped, depending on who made them.

"For hunting purposes" is a red herring put out by the anti-2A crowd in an attempt to separate sportsman from the 2A.

And this is just another dumbass that took the bait.

The Second Ammendment ain't about hunting, Elmer.

"By the way, Mr. Speaker, the Second Amendment is not for killing little ducks and leaving Huey and Dewey and Louie without an aunt and uncle. It is for hunting politicians, like [in] Grozny, [or back in] 1776, when they take your independence away!" -California Rep. Bob Dornan, Congressional Record, 25 January, 1995

[neverdem]

Uh, is this guy defending Zumbo, attacking the NRA, or claiming the 10/22 is an “assault rifle”? I’d say all of the above.

I agree. It's quite a weird column.

[Puppage]

Thank you, Mr Dictionary... do you have a point?

Do you REALLY need it spelled out for you? Sheesh.

[vikingd00d]

>> The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting.

That depends on what you’re hunting... :)

[pgyanke]

As it pertains to my post, yes. Yes, I do.

[MD_Willington_1976]

Actually, there is a ranking member of the NRA now saying that we don’t need “assualt rifles” and no more than 5 rounds of ammo... he needs his ass fired from the NRA... but they will not fire him...
