>but he thought an AR15 was an assault rifle.

Well, doesn’t the AR stand for Assault Rifle? (Regardless of whatever the pop-culture or legal definition may be, the name itself is different; somewhat like the 1911 being named an “automatic pistol” which references the loading-action, not the firing-action.)

To repeat the oft quoted saying:

It’s Bill of {God-given} Rights, not Wants or Needs.

Do we really want the government telling a free-citizenry what they Need to defend themselves?

I’m picking up a strong hint of a conflict of interest there, does anyone else get that impression?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I however do not understand the need to own an assault rifle for private use...

Does the 2ND Amendment ring a bell there Junior? It doesn't say a damned thing about Needs but is says a whole lot about Rights.

No one ever said you have to be smart to wear a badge.

Armalite Rifle, I believe. Armalite developed Eugene Stoner’s design.

This cop doesn’t know the difference between a clip and a magazine.

I caught that too. No one in his department should be allowed to touch a firearm.

One of the younger guys in our gun club ran out of ammo and asked if anyone had anymore "bullets."

I gave him a handful of these:

Is the rotary cooling device similar to a rotational oscillating unit? And when the feces makes high velocity contact with it are the results the same?

[Nebr FAL owner]

Or maybe 7mm-08 , 300 win mag ,.308.7mm magnum,350 whelan etc, etc ,etc.

“Do you need an AR-15 with 30-round clips to defend your house? From what?”

From you, moron, from you.

I do not believe that the government, in the form of the military and police, should be in sole possession of the means of deadly force.

We lost a Police Sergeant killed last year in Chattanooga TN. Perp wore body armor

They are virtually identical except in nomenclature. The impingement of said fecal matter has similar deleterious long term effects and is not recommended.
