ATLANTA -- A well-armed couple opened fire with an assault rifle and pistol early Friday morning on some car thieves in southwest Atlanta.

The couple at a home in the 1900 block of Childress Drive told police that after somebody tried to steal their car last week, they rigged up a homemade alarm in their carport using string and cans.

“gang members” - that’s the old term.

Now they’re “ACORN community organizers”.

Lib Brother in Law: “Why would anyone need a semi-automatic?”

Me: “What’s a semi-automatic?”

BIL: [pause] “Um... I don’t know.”

I understand and meant no offense.

I’m just saying we need to counter their tactic of controlling the conversation (libs don’t debate) by controlling the language.

Ha!

Sounds like an opportunity to educate. (Some of us have more such opportunities in our families than we would prefer to have. ;-)

I did explain that almost EVERY firearm is a “semi-automatic”,

and I also told him that I believe that was the whole point, to demonize ALL firearms. (He was trying to be a “moderate” with a “common sense” approach to gun control.)

I asked him where he heard that term, and he didn’t remember, but I’m sure it was within some lefthanded circle jerk that he gets all his information from.

Too bad they shot up their own car. I wonder if insurance will pay for it?

(He was trying to be a “moderate” with a “common sense” approach to gun control.)

I'm surrounded by gun grabbers and I've been seeing more and more of the "attempted moderation" tactic. It's a rhetorical device and if you push them you'll find they still believe in trampling the bill of rights.

My come back is to ask if they believe in the selective enforcement of the second amendment, do they also believe in the selective enforcement of the first amendment? (Most do but won't admit it.) How about the 13th? (Not mentioning the fact that the H1B visa witch IS a selective enforcement of the 13th amendment.)

I don’t care if you are a bad shot...but how the hell do you miss a bunch of men, half way in a car, inside of a garage, using an AK, when you obviously shot enough times to riddle the car with bullet holes???

An assault weapon, properly defined is a short barreled rifle capable of selective fire.

Assault weapon is a term made up by gun grabbers to define a semi-automatic firearm they think looks too scary. The definition can vary slightly depending on whether it refers to the old Federal AWB or bans currently in place in some states. The term was deliberately created to cause confusion between civilian look-alike weapons and selective fire, military issue weapons.

An assault rifle is a selective fire weapon firing a intermediate caliber round. The definition dates back to WWII. The most common assault rifle calibers in current use are 5.56 mm NATO and 7.62x39 mm.
