I don't own an assault weapon.
Those were tightly restricted by the National Firearms Act of 1934.
I do own a Tyranny Response Rifle.

This should rip the faces off all the MSM naysayers. Of course we will never hear about this in media. A poll that will be well hidden.
A possible in for the youth vote? Someone write this down. Kids like guns.
18-24 year olds 70% pro gun eh. NEA will be having a meeting soon to discuss what went wrong.
Of course, the entire “debate” is moot. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are explicitly on our side, despite leftist wishful thinking and interpretation to the contrary.
As a side note, so is the Declaration of Independence.
This presumes that rights belong to government to be dispensed only as government sees fit.
Is there a Peace Weapon? An un-assault weapon? A Weapon of mass goodness?
Assault is assault. I earned a black belt, I can assault most of the public as I please if I wish. Am I an assault "something"? I was also a Marine, I am a weapon that can assault (my MOS distinctly has "assault" in its title). Give me a kitchen knife or a K-Bar or even a fork, I'll assault you all day long. What about my training in demo? I can leave alllllll sorts of mean things around that you yourself would be the one to trip, who assaulted who then?
This "mean" looking guns are bad thing is just stoopid at this point. I get assaulted in the wallet daily by government before I even get a chance to fight back; yet not a peep. Isn't that what we used to call muggings?
I would submit that those folks know that "assault weapons" are fully automatic, and not the gun-controller/media's false holding of semi-automatics.
-Someone tell me again why video games are bad...
Br-cause that’s WHY young people are not so liberal on guns.

“44 percent say Americans should be prohibited from owning these types of firearms”
This is the part thats scary.
“A possible in for the youth vote? Someone write this down. Kids like guns.”

Because these “kids” play every XBOX and PS3 shoot=em up games available. They love guns. I’m more astonished the liberal gun grab movement hasn’t changed the perception. Maybe these imbecile Low Info voters works to our advantage..
And I submit that this poll is full of sh**, at least the part about the 59+ group. All the people I know in that age group(including me)grew up with guns and are all for the 2nd amendment. In fact many of them take exception to the term "allowed", we are guaranteed the right to keep and bear arms, the government does not have the right or the power to either "allow" or "disallow" our ownership and use of firearms.
I think they seriously prejudice the poll by using the expression “assault weapon”.
I’m encouraged that folks think assault weapons should be owned by individuals, but the bans being proposed want to ban repeating rifles. Fully automatic weapons are already controlled.
Do you want to ban your grandpa’s repeating rifle?
Do you want to ban it if it has a hand grip?
Do you want to ban it if it has a magazine that holds 15 rounds?
Do you want to ban it if it has a scope?
What if it’s painted a camouflage color?
I’m betting 90% would be against banning on all the above.
Perhaps they remember when it wasn't necessary to lock doors or worry about kids walking to school. Sometimes memories of how it was get in the way of understanding how it is. The 55+ group took patriotism and Constitutional rights as givens and many have not woken up to the trend to subjugate us. I say that as a 60-year-old who remembers how it was, but whose eyes have been open since the '70s and even more so through the '80s on up to present - Dad was a staunch conservative and life-long NRA member who turned me onto Rush, so I had help.
You had to think that all of this “anything goes” extreme individualism indoctrination that liberals were doing in their attempts to destroy American society were going to come back and bite them some day, when they have to tell young folks, who have heard all their lives “do your own thing” that, well, we didn’t really mean it.
I wish we could own assault weapons. I’d definitely buy a Chicago Typewriter.
“I wish we could own assault weapons. I’d definitely buy a Chicago Typewriter.”
If you live in a free state all you need is the required NFA paperwork, tax stamp and $15,000+. Please note that the price is artificially high due to the ‘86 ban on new production of transferable machine guns.
“Young Americans ages 18-24 are more supportive of private ownership of assault weapons with 70 percent saying Americans should be allowed to own assault weapons; 27 percent think they should be prohibited. In fact, majorities support allowing Americans to own assault weapons among those under 54. In contrast, older Americans believe assault weapons should be prohibited by a 23-point margin 58 percent to 36 percent.”
Surprising about the young people...good news. My fellow baby boomers appear to have still learned NOTHING!
