[Paine in the Neck]

“piqued”, not “peaked”

If you’re gonna harp on magazine v. clip and throw around the accusation of illiteracy, it doesn’t look good.

What we need is safer bullets

[AppyPappy]

Lib: These assault weapons are only good for killing large numbers of people.
Me: Is that why the police carry them? So they can kill large numbers of people?
Lib: (crickets, crickets)

[Kaslin]

and slower guns

[Travis T. OJustice]

AK-47s and variants are 30cal and hold 30 rounds. Or 10, or 20, or 40, or 75.

or a hundred. Or a belt of nearly unlimited length (quantity)

My condolences. Your problem is you only own a truck. OTOH, if it were an SUV and you regularly kept a loaded revolver in its glove compartment, you’d have the critical mass necessary for your Bushmaster to get into the vehicle on its own, drive to the nearest elementary school, and massacre all the kiddies.

“...it’s not doing anything.”

Move the safety lever to “Spray”...then stand back.

I think the whole “clip” mix up is 100% the fault of rap. Back in the Ice T “Cop Killer” hayday all the politicians and cop groups were going on about violence in rap. ‘Clip’ is a lot easier to rhyme than magazine. It justgoes to prove idiot politicians accept whatever the entertainment industry churns out as gospel. Think, “dum dum” rounds, teflon coated super duper cop killer bullets, plastic guns.

Be thankful that once the magazine clippy thingies are fired, they’ll be all used up.

[pfflier]

Don't forget the crowd sucking it up. Disinformation or ignorance is invisible to the believers.

Even worse, they may be even more ignorant than the presenter not knowing he was illiterate on the subject. I think in California, they call that higher education now.

[Howie66]

Not only in Granola-ville. This is a nation wide blight.

The gun in question is claimed to be a center-fire, semi-automatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine. As such, because it has a conspicuously protruding pistol grip, it is already illegal in Kalifornia to manufacture, transfer, or possess such a firearm if it is not already registered as an "assault weapon".

Although Kalifornia already has three separate assault weapons laws, I'm sure the anti-gunners would welcome some more. Soon it will be sufficient for the gun to be black in order to be outlawed.
