No offense, but this illustrates why a large number of people have no business discussing guns and gun control -- they dont have the basic knowledge necessary to carry on an informed conversation about same.

I was discussing guns and gun control?
I have no care for US and whether it is legalised or not. I freely admit i know very little between different types of guns but that does not stop me having a opinion on it's legalisation in my own country.

you aren't the problem IMO, but I see alot of people from other countries that know little to nothing about firearms trying to speak of gun control in America, the U.N. is a collection of that mindset in fact. But your sincere interest in gaining knowledge on the subject is commendable, and appreciated as a breath of fresh air to be honest.
 
Explain, then, how it is that 'assault weapon' is defined by and differentiated from mechanically identical NON-'assault weapons' the inclusion of cosmetic accessories.

How so?

It's the misconception about the functionality that they hold.
 
A weapon is considered an assault weapon if it can accept a detachable magazine and has two or more of the following

A folding or telescoping stock
A pistol grip
A bayonet mount
A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one
A grenade launcher.

Completely useless

A bayonet mount, you have rifle that fires bullets, who cares if a knife can attack to it.

A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one, not a big deal.

A pistol grip, thats a design style, does not make it more deadly.

telescoping stock, makes a weapon more concealable.
 
A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one, not a big deal.

Not to mention, like a sound suppressor, it's a safety feature. In addition to preserving your night vision, a flash suppressor can help prevent getting powder burns on your face.
 
What gets me is the bayonet mount, i already have a rifle .. now your worried i am going to go around and stab people with it.
 
Only part of the ban I like. SKS costs sixty bucks less at the local pawn shops if it doesn't have a bayonet lug on it.
 
not a big fan of ak/sks style rifles .. more of an AR guy my self.

SKS is now going for around $200 or more.

AK/SKS > ar-15 :2razz:
 
Ya, but when i shoot an AR15, i dont feel like a commy terrorist.

I'd carry a rifle designed by the Devil himself as long as it shot straight and was easy to take care of.
 
AK/SKS > ar-15 :2razz:



:lol: nonsense.


my m4 is a 1.5 MOA platform, the AK/SK is a 5-6 MOA at best. 7.62x39 is an anemic round with crazy drop...... there is a reason the rooskies went to the ak-74. ;)




I'll take the m4 any day of the week. though the ak is fun to shoot.
 
My daughter has a birtday coming up. Thinking of getting her this:

Hell Kitten AR-15 - evil black rifle meets cute and cuddly

What do you think? Seems the perfect thing for dealing with those pesky boys.
How old is the daughter that you are speaking of? I am not interested in getting this gun for a four year old. I am a democrat and a gun owner. I actually did buy a rifle and shot gun for my daughter. I think that there is no need for a fancy assault rifle. I think that Right Wingers hate the USA, and want overthrow the constitution. They want some sort of Bush, Cheney kingdom so a few rich can get richer.
 
Well, i could not disagree more, i am a right winger and i hate bush for what he did to us.

We need a true conservative.

Again, no offense. but I'm not concerned about what is legal/illegal in your country. I -am- concerned about what is legal/illegal HERE.

When you shoot an AR15, you hit your target -- there's a reason the front sight on an AK/SKS is stamped 'for approximate use only'.

Talk about self-sodomizing your credibility as a sentient being...
:shock:
 
Right .. thanks.
You lost on after the first sentence but i'll goggle it =D

It's one of the silly things that makes a rifle and assault rifle.

Assault rifles are illegal because they are scary sounding!!

Are you telling me that there is no functional difference between a hunting rifle and an assault rifle

If anything, a hunting rifle is more dangerous then an assault rifle. They generally use a larger caliber bullet, have far greater range, and accuracy.

I attached a picture with the lug pointed out.

So, you don't have any concrete, rational, supportable reasoning -- you just think so.
Gotcha.

Are you saying that there are no accidents with guns that children have gotten access to?
