Fuck you.

Also, fuck anyone who thinks they can take away HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of small arms that US citizens have legally owned for hundreds of years. Lol.

The semantic difference is irrelevant to the actual discussion. As someone said before, what counts is how the law defines such weapons, not how people traditionally or non-traditionally categorize these weapons.

Exactly right. And we all know with our government, when you give them an inch, they take a mile.

If Diane fuckstein had her way, she would make it to where a 200 dollar mossberg shotgun from academy would be considered an assault weapon. There truly are people within our government that go to bed at night dreaming about taking away Individuals rights to own and carry firearms. This is fact.

Get the fuck out of here Canadian. Fun fact: Canada's monarch is Queen Elizabeth, and they are slaves without anything like the 2nd amendment.

I'm sorry that this is my first post on the P1999 forums, but I have to say something here.

In regards to the first claim about an assault weapons ban:

Do we really need these? A shotgun, hunting rifle, or handgun should be more than enough for any sort of self/home defense situation. All the people I have met who own or would like to own anything larger probably shouldn't have been allowed to. Really, in what situation do you think that you will need an assault rifle or extended magazine?

As for the UN treaty:

What does this have to do with gun control within the US? All I've been able to find about it is conservatives arguing that it will interfere with the 2nd amendment, but none of them seem to be able to explain how. It applies to international trade only.

For the record I am a gun owner and oppose domestic gun control. However these claims that Obama is trying to take our guns really get under my skin. I'm not commenting on Feinstein, as she has nothing to do with Obama or this thread.

I use assault weapons on coyotes, true story.

The term 'assault weapons' is pretty much a meaningless misnomer from the liberal media. It has no real definition other than 'scary-looking'.

Take for example an AR-15, much like what the military uses. The NATO 5.56 round is really not that powerful, and as a full metal jacket still has barely any penetration power and leaves pencil holes through the target.

Now get a .50 cal hunting rifle, and you're shooting through steel crates and still leaving exit wounds the size of watermelons.

So yea, banning assault weapons is dum, since all guns are lethal (kind of the point).



As far as high capacity magazines, it doesn't matter that much to ban them. Reloading takes literally 1 second, even with a bullet button.

It's stupid liberal feel-good laws, like back a few years in Cali you couldn't have a pistol grip and a stock on a shotgun. Liberal brain: Make dangerous weapon harder to control.

Quote:
The UN Arms Trade Treaty would impose:

* Microstamping on firearms, thus increasing the cost of each gun by about $200;

* Registration of all firearms, which is often a prelude to gun confiscation;

* Restrictions on gun sales, especially private transfers (thus, no more gun shows as we know them);

* Embargoes on firearms and materials (such as nickel and tungsten) that would limit access to many of the firearms which are sold in this country.

are you trying to say that the 5.56 is some kind of special round? I'd love to hear more if that is what you are implying.
