Well, duh! Did I say anything about "assault weapons?"
Pay no attention to post #34. He’s fulla crap.
Hey there cry baby surrender monkey. This comes from people who are key in the idustry like for example the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Tom Gresham, Ted Nugent and the NRA so stuff it.
What has erroneously been termed an “assault weapon” is a semi-automatic firearm (Modern Sporting Rifle) that fires just one bullet with each pull of the trigger (versus a fully automatic firearm — machine gun — which continues to shoot until the trigger is released). Specifically, legislation has incorrectly defined an “assault weapon” as a semi-automatic firearm that can accept a detachable magazine and has two or more of the following cosmetic features (it is these cosmetic features that distinguish the firearm from other “non-assault weapons.”):
BACKGROUND VIDEOS
Above, a San Jose (Calif.) police officer effectively explains the differences between fully automatic military rifles and semi-automatic military look-alike rifles and why there is confusion about them.
Above, radio personality Tom Gresham speaks to journalists about tactical rifles during a seminar at the Professional Outdoor Media Association’s annual meeting. The seminar, sponsored by NSSF, provided writers with a hands-on introduction to tactical rifles. Many media members said it was their first experience with the rifles and came away with a new understanding of these frequently misunderstood firearms and accurate information to provide in columns and stories.
WRITER’S GUIDE
Aim for Accuracy: Take a look at NSSF’s online Writer’s Guide to Firearms and Ammunition for facts, data, examples of common inaccuracies and a complete glossary of firearm- and ammunition-related terms.
• A folding or telescoping stock
• A pistol grip
• A bayonet mount
• A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one
• A grenade launcher
None of these features figure into the criminal misuse of firearms, regardless of their appearance.

Whether with a traditional muzzleloader or a modern sporting rifle, the ABCs of good shooting are the key to putting your shots on target. Watch Chris Fry, training director at Modern Defensive Training Systems, show you the basics of proper sight alignment and sight picture, plus proper breathing, trigger control and follow-through.

Due to Reed Exhibitions’ refusal to reconsider their decision to ban Modern Sporting Rifles from the February 2-10 Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, PA, the National Rifle Association has decided to withdraw from the show. We had called on Reed Exhibitions to reconsider their decision; unfortunately they have steadfastly refused to do so. As a result, the NRA will not be participating in the upcoming show in Harrisburg or in any other shows hosted by Reed Exhibitions that maintain this policy. We are disappointed that Reed Exhibitions has ignored the concerns expressed by attendees, the outdoor industry and the NRA in not reconsidering their position to ban the display of Modern Sporting Rifles.
Who’s full of crap?
You lose, nutcase.
Just cause you say so? Guess what no sale.
By using the anti-gun lingo you have surrendered to them.
They now control the dialogue for you.
I will stand with the NRA, Tom Gresham and the Nuge rather than a surrender monkey like you.
You started the insults. Want to really play? Looser.
You could have saved yourself some time with that long cut&paste post about 'assault weapons' if you had read this response but I guess you're too much of a dumbass to understand what it meant.
AND you of poor reading comprehension I ADDED the assault weapons comment after I posted the magazine comment for the benefit of others since you clearly have surrendered to the gun control agenda.
Whatever.
See surrender - again.
You started the insults. Instead of making a point you called me “full of crap”.
What your great intellect can’t make a point without insults?
You’re a kook. There is really little more to say.
But I did. I made two posts before I pointed out the obvious.
Looser.
No thanks, you peed in it.
That shouldn’t be a problem for someone that thinks they are a pirate.
Next I will piss in your punch bowl.
Not bad ... for a low-capacity thinker. LOL
