I actually own quite a few guns....and they are ALL assault weapons...in the right hands.
Pretty deadly too.
“I tell people “Look up the National Firearms Act of 1934”.”
How many blank stares to you get? I mean seriously, these politicians do not live and breath “gunpowder”. They get some talking points and run with them. In most cases it does not make them bad, it makes them dangerous like the MSM.
The “blonde bobble heads” on Faux News are another real dangerous group. The other day one was babbling on about semi-autos firing multiple rounds at a single pull of the trigger. Came uncorked sent an email to them to keep her uninformed mouth shut until she became “schooled”. About 15 minutes later she was apologizing. I guess she toke a quick course.....
The advantage of the Mod 98 is I got it from my father who “picked it up” in Germany, previous owner deceased.
No paperwork as far as I can tell.
You said...
"I actually own a real assault rifle."
I'm not buying this "assault rifle" crap....any gun staring at me..is assaulting.
Sorry but I disagree. It’s an assault rifle if it’s a war rifle issued by a sovereign power. If it wasn’t, it’s not an assault rifle. A semi automatic AK is not an assault rifle. A Brown Bess muzzle loader is.

You appear to be playing word games.....just like the Feds. I'm sure that is not your intent...but it appears like it.
Rank-and-file Democrats are akin to Hitler Youth: slavishly simple, blindly obedient to the socialist cause.
No I’m attempting to use a consistent and defensible definition of terms. The left claims weapons of war don’t belong in civilian hands. If a weapon has never been issued by a sovereign power to it’s military it cannot be an assault weapon and proposed legislation could not apply to it. This consistent and defensible definition would put the left in the absurd position of outlawing trapdoor Springfields and Brown Besses while leaving semi-automatic AKs and ARs untouched.
Me also.
I too, am proud to call Mr. Cruz my senator. Alan Dershowitz, his professor at Harvard, said, “Cruz was off-the charts brilliant.” (Just think, in two years he’ll be qualified to be President.) Please check out Ted’s resume at Wikipedia, the guy is really remarkable. He is a true man of accomplishment unlike the fraud and walking cliche in the White House who was fast tracked by millions of loony liberal sycophantic lickspittles. Make no mistake, Ted Cruz is the real deal. I have high expectations for him. Our country needs him.

No they did not. What Congress did do is to not allow any more fully automatic firearms to be entered into the national registry, and therefore cannot be issued a tax stamp, hence cannot be owned.
Full automatic firearms that were already on the registry can still be owned, bought, and sold, after the necessary transfer tax and microscopic examination of the buyer's background.
Thanks for the info on Cruz. I’ve just been impressed with his conservative credentials and the rare spine he’s shown against some of the most outspoken liberals. That he’s that brilliant is just icing on the cake for me!
Ditto. But I hope you voted for him THREE times: primary, runoff and general. I had to think that process through for a minute, but it's true.
But does anyone here realize you CAN buy and OWN a machine gun...
I just checked. What you said is an UNDERSTATEMENT! Heh
My post stands........
