Over $5.00 here in Northern Illinois.
My contention is only that they are EFFECTIVE TOOLS OF WAR.
In fact, the semi auto M-1 Garand won WWII.
He did NOT!
I listened and he said AR15 Assault weapons!
He is an idiot from repeatedly saying ASSAULT WEAPON over and over and repeatedly and two and three or more times more.
That’s why the US military uses it today.
Oh…..they don’t.
Maybe they should assault with flintlocks and rocks.
You’re just another grandstander.
Grab your M1 and run into those three dug in machine guns reinforced by a platoon with automatic rifles.
Though proponents of banning assault weapons claim that such policies would limit deaths from mass shootings, the data point to different conclusions.
In his assessment, Koper wrote that mass shootings are “very rare.” He concluded that any drops in violent crime involving assault weapons were “likely to have been outweighed by steady or rising use of non- banned semiautomatics” with large capacity magazines, “which are used in crime much more frequently” than assault weapons.
Swearer similarly testified that assault weapons aren’t the central necessary component for those hoping to inflict massive casualties. She observed that “gun control advocates, politicians, and the media routinely characterize semi-automatic rifles, specifically the AR-15, as the ‘weapon of choice’ for mass public shooters,” although such conclusions are “objectively incorrect.”
“The reality is that, even if all would-be mass public shooters were successfully diverted to the use of ‘non-assault weapons,’ it would likely have no meaningful impact on their ability to kill large numbers of unarmed civilians,” she added in reference to data from Mother Jones’ mass shooting database. “With only a few notable exceptions, such as the Las Vegas shooting in 2018, the type of firearm was simply not a major factor in the ability of mass shooters to cause significant casualties, particularly compared to other important factors such as the time the shooter remained unconfronted by an armed response.”

(Dick Blumenthal, said this would be an election year issue in November)
Does Dick know about something coming that the rest of us don’t know about?
🤔🤔🤔
They got away with stripping our gun rites in California. Do not let them do it to you.
You have a detachable magazine more than 10rds.
“You’re just another grandstander.”
Because I contend a semi auto rifle with detachable mag is an effective tool of war?
Hilarious.
That is not a picture of my rifle, but yes with a featureless rifle you may have a detachable magazine. It may also be more than 10 rounds if it was purchased before they were banned for sale. The California high capacity magazine ban is also waiting on a SCOTUS decision. Federal Judge Benitez ruled it unconstitutional, the Ninth Distirct with a three judge panel upheld his ruling, than the 9’th Circus enblanc ruled against the three judge ruling, and now it has been appealed to the SCOTUS along with a few other states. Let’s see how the SCOTUS rules because if this goes against California than all of you lose the rite to own and posses regular rifle magazines like Joe wants.
Such an effective weapon of war the US Government is ditching their M4’s for a sig rifle that fires some .27 round because the 5.56 can’t pierce common body armor.
and someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the assumption the M4A2 carbine does not have a semi, only burst and auto.
Right before the mid-terms. Riiiight.
Just curious, is there a case before SCOTUS that might overturn CA's ban?
I know there's a right to concealed carry case under review. I'd love to see CA's AWB get tossed.
I think so. The legal definition was something like "if it has two out of four of these attributes."
Note that the federal legal term for "weapon of mass destruction" includes all "destructive device," which includes a rocket having a propellant charge of more than four ounces.
Congress can deem a bb gun to be an assault weapon. There is nothing below these tyrants. They are protecting their turf in the new world order, and nobody is going to stand in their way.
It is a very normal order of things for a government and its people to have an adversarial relationship. Each out for its own interest.
Ones with multiple features that were on their “list” would be. IIRC, things like a bayonet mount, high capacity magazines over 10 rounds and inclusion of certain foreign made parts.
I’m sure the ban they’ll go for this time will include ‘fixes’ for all the seeming loopholes in the original legislation (their impression of what were loopholes).
They can ‘ban’ them all they want. I’m not going to comply and relinquish what I already legally obtained. They’re just gonna have to come and find them and take them.
