Big headaches for the ATF and gun banning states

Heck...why bother machining when polymer molds and the chemical components are pretty much as strong as aluminum. I'm running straight polymer lowers in 2 ARS and an AR pistol right now with zero problems for several years. I was skeptical at first...and Im not sure it will handle the Beowulf...but the 5.56...no problem.

awesome, might have to try one of those. I have about half a dozen lower parts kits, 6 CMC triggers and a few uppers lying around
 
here's a really simple one but i can go get really detailed ones (they all show about the same thing).

now, go put dots on that map of where you think the most people are gunned down and post the pic back on here. let's see if they're in places where there are lots of people (or Wyoming where the total population can't fill 8 football stadiums)...

what do stupid AR bans have to do with that?

You REALLY dont think you are going to prove my point about the numbers and the conditions of those that are involved in those murders?

So again...

Is it 'gun culture' or is it the ****ty nature of their existence?

Why do you refuse to answer the basic question at hand? Why do you insist on trying to do some sort of magic hands act to draw attention away from the facts?

Here...lets break it down even more simply for you. The city of Chicago went from 378 homicides in 2015 to 536 in 2016.

Now...considering that MOST of Chicago is actually pretty safe, AND considering that Chicago has some of the most strict gun laws in the state, do you attribute the gun deaths in Chicago to "Gun culture" or ****ty conditions in the places where those gun deaths occur?

Crime in Wyoming 2017 (5).pdf

I figure you wanted to talk about Wyoming for a reason....so...here ya go.

In Wyoming in 2017 there were 17 murders. 41% were committed by handgun. NONE by rifle or shotgun. 17% by knife. 17% by hands or feet. And 25% committed by other dangerous means.

So...obviously NOT gun culture...but rather ****ty environment...right?

download the pic and put the dots on the cities that have a lot of people gunned down. let's see if there are lots of people in those cities.

then we'll move on to the women who were gunned down in the last few months and see where they live.

Is the gun violence due to gun culture or the ****ty communities and society they live in?

That definitely throws a monkey into the wrench! Essentially ALL their definitions of a firearm where ARs are wrong and the receiver is ABSOLUTELY NOT a firearm.

That should read now that a gun is not a gun until it is a gun...a fully functioning firearm.

I suspect whoever they got their definition of a lower 'rcvr' from previously either intentionally or unintentionally gave them the description of a shotgun. Thats the only rcvr mechanism I can think of that would accept a threaded barrel.

The same thing applies to a semi-auto pistol frame.
 
What difference does any of this really make? We're simply a gun culture where people will be gunned down each day and we'll have non-high profile mass shootings a lot and a high profile mass shooting about once a month or so.

The dead people are still dead all over our country. Women still get gunned down by the men they're in relationships with. Kids will still accidentally shoot themselves and friends.

None of those dead people care about definitions or what type of firearm. They're rotting in graves.

All the more reason to repeal anti-gun laws.

Lots of shootings. We agree. now...is the cause 'gun culture' or ****ty life in their communities?

Chicago is on there numerous times. Yet most of Chicago is VERY safe AND Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. So...are the shootings due to gun culture (how can that be) or ****ty life in their communities?
 
All the more reason to repeal anti-gun laws.

it really doesn't matter. we will continue to shoot each other.

just don't turn your back (or let your family/loved ones turn theirs). there may be a nut with a death wish ready to take anyone out.

How about this....

That was such a great list I simplified it for you...I omitted every shooting excpt the shootings that occur in all of Illinois.

Look what we found. In thre ENTIRE STATE...

Chicago IL

And not ALL of Chicago. No no...West side..south side...

So...does the 'gun culture' not exist in Illinois EXCEPT in that part of Chicago, or is that part of Chicago is ****ty?
 
you answer first. it appears like you really wanna say "****ty life in their communities".
Well of course thats the ONLY answer...because there IS no such thing as 'gun culture' that can be reasonably used to explain any of this.

And if you bothered knowing ANYTHING about what you were talkign about you know this...you understand this.

Yeah, us having more guns than people definitely makes us not a gun culture.

You ready for me to start comparing our numbers to other countries with many less guns?
 
While you are formulating your response...perhaps you can examine this map and explain why 'gun culture' only exists in certain parts of this city (assuming 'gun culture' is your answer)?

Well, being that I just posted where all the shootings happened in the last 72 hours, and you're ignoring all the other ones except for the ones you want to talk about, I think you're gonna create your own reality.

It's not surprising though. People like you have been doing that seemingly forever.
 
it really doesn't matter. we will continue to shoot each other.

just don't turn your back (or let your family/loved ones turn theirs). there may be a nut with a death wish ready to take anyone out.

All the more reason to carry a gun.
