I'll just cut to the chase if it's OK.. The phrase :Weapons of War" is the same as saying "Black and Military looking". It's a pointless as I could just change the appearance a bit and I now have the same gun capabilities only in different wrappers. I can see how Beto's phrase sounds good and plays well on TV, but it's ultimately pointless when you're attempting to make real change. You're better off being much more specific, fact based. You'll get the most push back on it, as you'd get the most amounts of guns when you start going off capabilities, but that's where you'd actually make change.. at least change that would matter. To be honest, I've no clue what you'd be able to put in that would pass the courts until 2A is either appealed or changed to clarify more even more who and where the right applies. I'm just pointing out that using phrases that sound good and will do nothing is only verbal masturbation

How about no armor piercing rounds
How about maximum magazine, drum, clip, chamber or whatever you want to call it is 5 (revolvers can be 6)
How about no selling things to obviously side step the above
How about instead of the FBI being in charge of declaring what accessories are what we make it the job of someone else?

No, you're a liar who claims to believe to believe in the rule of law, judicial review and the Constitution, while at the same time bragging about how you want to kill people with grenades because you don't believe that the rule of law, judicial review and the Constitution applies to them, for one reason or another. You supported a sheriff in AZ who jailed legal citizens, without judicial review, on the mere suspicion that they might not be in America legally. You support a President who frequently threatens to unconstitutionally revoke the citizenship, without judicial review, of anyone whose speech he disagrees with, and to send them back to where they came from, even when where they came from is America.
So no, pal, you quite clearly do not believe in the rule of law, judicial review and the Constitution. You're just another hypocrite who is more than happy to see the Constitutional rights of others trampled on, but then freaks out at the prospect that the same thing might happen to you.

My father cut his thumb on a K-ration........is that a "wound of war"?
Click to expand...

Should we arm all our armed forces with K ration tins?
Sounds like an affordable & effective weapon. Especially if you of all people say so.
Edit: Police too obviously we want the Police armed with the best weaponry.

You're on the right path on making changes that would do something. I do want to point out that it's the ATF that is in charge of all the gun stuff.

I used to have a 10 shot .22 rimfire revolver and a friend has an eight shot .357 revolver not all revolvers are 6 shooters.

Fine they’ll be limited to 6 going forward.
I’m not particularly concerned about revolvers due to the load time.
Before you say it weird ass auto loaders could be considered a product used to avoid round limits.
Also I know there are people who have spent thousands of hours practicing shooting revolvers fast & accurately. I doubt any mass shooter would put that amount of training into it.

Let me say I’m not for confiscating guns.

What are the retards who say my AR is waiting for you....saying?
So let’s play this out a cop or some government employee comes to your house and says hand over your AR you didn’t turn it in last month. This dude is going to shoot them?

Much like Donald, if you were to ask them to clarify their statement they would probably come up some BS about how they werent really saying anything.
Bullies like to talk tough but they never wanna be held accountable or get into any trouble.
Remember, the defining characteristic of a bully is cowardice.

The internet is kind of old now, and I remember many times and many places where conservatives were laughed at because a Democrat was put in office and it scared them into buying guns because, "they're going to take muh guns!" mentality. And they were mocked not long ago. Pretty sure I even joined in back in the day to some degree... I never dreamed of a day where people would honestly think semi-auto guns, or scary "assault weapons" that are not any more deadly than many other hunting guns would be seriously discussed to be banned. But, here we are, those conservatives proven to be one hundred percent correct some time later.

O'Rouke March 2019: "If you own an AR-15, keep it. Continue to use it responsibly and safely. I just don't think that we need to sell anymore weapons of war into this public."

Sept 2019: "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15..."

Appreciate the diagnosis. I have a few, one even holds 30+1 rounds, is semiauto, and quickly reloads. Collect yourself and carry on. I use it for putting holes in paper.

That's ridiculous. If AR's & AK's weren't more deadly than bolt & lever action rifles then world militaries never would have developed them.

But an AR isn't more deadly than something like a Ruger Min-14. But, Beto would still ban AR-15's if he could and I hear some here discussing semi-auto band altogether. I don't deny that semi-auto is more deadly, my comment was about AR-15's there. They are not more deadly than many other semi auto rifles, they're just a very popular platform where ammo and accessories like magazines are inexpensive and easily available.

Ever talked to a special forces sniper? Most use bolt action. I personally know two that do.

I really want to disagree with you as one bullet is deadly regardless about where it comes from.. but I do get you also speak of how many of those bullets could I get out in a time frame so yeah.. if I go with rounds out in a time frame I have to agree with you, otherwise no.. Also the AR was developed by civilians and sold to the military by Colt.. have to be an ass here somewhere.. otherwise I might lose my cred with the gun crowd.. ;)
