Sounds like you two need to go fishin’
If modified with a bump stock, it would be fully automatic.
Its not the specific characteristics of a weapon we need to be concerned about, the values of the user.
That always gets left out in the debate over how to respond to mass shooting incidents.
Colt purchased the rights.
That was my point.
If modified with a bump stock, it would be fully automatic.
Not really. Not even the ATF accepts that to be true.
Armalite was a division of Fairchild Aircraft and developed the AR-10 & AR-15 to utilize adanced aluminous alloys used by the aircraft industry.
From Wiki:
“Tired of repeated failures in the market, Fairchild licensed the AR-10 and AR-15 designs to Colt, and the AR-10 to a Dutch company. They sold their interest in Armalite in 1962. That year, Colt sold the AR-15 to the United States Air Force to arm base security troops.”
I was Walmart shortly after they stopped selling AR style rifles. (As an aside, I bought a Colt LE 6920 at Walmart for $1069 during the gun shortage when they were selling for $2500 on the auction sites.) Right there in the display case was a Ruger Mini 14. I actually laughed out loud. I will admit the Mini 14 had a wood stock and not that scary black stuff like the ARs had.
Even funnier, you can get scary black plastic stocks for Rugers.
You’d expect some of the shootings with a rifle to be with an “AR variant” since it’s the more popular of the two main types of ‘ordinary rifle’.
Lemmee guess. The attacks would have been legal. Just the weapon would have been illegal?
BTW, 600,000 Americans were killed with muzzleloaders during the civil war. Anyone determined to take a life will use whatever he has at his disposal. After all, abortion docs kill over a million Americans every year, and they don't even use a gun. Maybe we should outlaw abortion.
...Why does it say that Colt owns the trademark when Armalite is the company that created the rifle?...
Armalite sold the rights to the AR15 shortly after it’s development.
Ah, so, ah, when are we going to hear about the gun that saved people?
Yeah!
The prices vary wildly based on quality and features. I have a $550 S&W Sport. Reliable and accurate and a good buy, but higher priced weapons are well worth the money if purchasing for use beyond basic TEOTWAWKI stockpiling.
Look online.
Commonly found under $600, often much less.
Check places like Buds or Kentucky Guns.
Hot deals coming up around the holidays too.
I originally heard that it was a shotgun.
“If modified with a bump stock, it would be fully automatic.”
Nope. Bumpfire stocked guns are STILL semi-auto. One trigger pull, one bang. I would call them single-shots to annoy the Leftist Monolithic Media.
The thought occurred to me that someone could have put the thought of a “gun” massacre in this guy’s head . . .with promises of who knows what.
I wouldn’t hold my breath.................
