I have a solution to the assault weapons debate.

[irishScott]

We legally mandate that all guns must have full wooden stocks that at least partially cover the sides of the receiver.

That way we turn this evil right arm of Satan:

into this homely, granddaddy's hunting rifle:

And 80% of gun control advocates will think there's a difference!

 

[Doppel]

Make sure to keep the scary pistol grips off, too!

or make them all like this...

 

[JulesMaximus]

If all guns were pink, then only Bronies would own guns... think about it.

Come to think about it, that's an excellent idea! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Pass a law that all firearms must be pink! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Abolish NFA, GCA and FOPA and I'll gladly dye all my firearms.

Gee, at first, from a moderator point of view, I thought, "geeeez, don't we have enough threads already?" But then, I saw your suggestion. Problem solved!

What's with you people? Guns are no laughing matter.

No, but stupid gun laws are.

I think you are on to something

It's the silouette that people respond to. When they see a banana clip of 30+ rounds hanging out the bottom of a gun, that means a weapon of war.

Which is obviously why this is now considered an assault weapon in New York:

Enbloc clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZNXywarh-M Similar to a stripper clip used on other period rifles.

The language of the shitty law in NY covers these as well.

Just can it already, you have proven you know jackshit about firearms, and reading your ignorant, emotion driven drivel is getting old.

You know, if you totalitarian, anti-gun nut job progressives would at least educate yourselves on this subject you have such an interest in, then your views on the subject would at least have a little weight. As it is though, you and your ilk are dismissed out of hand because well, you should be.

None of the ideas you buffoons are putting out there will do anything to address any real issue, and will only effect law abiding citizens, and further strip our rights. This is because you and the rest like you are ignorant, and clueless, your agenda is driven by emotion, distortions, and outright lies, completely unmolest by facts.

 

[irishScott]

no mag.

It uses an 8 round en-bloc clip that is impossible to modify to only hold 7 rounds. Therefore it is considered a "high capacity ammunition feeding device" under the new law and is restricted. For as much as you're commentating on the new law, you don't seem to have read it.

What really gets me is all this talk on assault rifles. When you look at stats.. Seems like we should ban people from having any arms *part of the body* (ya look it up you'll see what I mean *directed@anti-gun nuts*).

My guess is that parents are concerned about their kids being butchered by the hundreds as school not how guns look and if significantly ignored and laughed at will ultimately mount an effort, possible successfully, to overturn the second amendment. I think this almost a certainty if dead children start to really pile up.

I don't think parents want to promote that which is least likely to keep their children safe. Which is most of what our lovely politicians are currently promoting.

An assault weapons ban/magazine ban is not going to stop someone from killing kids with a gun. Everyone with half a brain understands this. Which is why the polls (or at least Gallup) shows that people are less in favor of bans and more in favor of extensive background checks and licensing. As they should be.

The 2nd amendment is going nowhere. And I know parents with young kids who are making as much fun of the idiotic New York Legislation as I am.

In Thailand, you're constitutionally guaranteed free speech. But, at the same time, you can go to prison for criticizing their king.

The problem is the 2nd amendment would require a (currently) insurmountable support to get removed, but its definition can continue to shrink, though DC v Heller one can see that as recently as 2008 "gun rights" were expanded.

I'm frankly very surprised that with a nation of this age these issues are not already vetted by the SC. It's possible now some things are coming to a head and we'll see these driven all the way up and get a final ruling on a bunch of stuff.

There will probably be a case in the next 5-10 years that will overturn DC v Heller. They'll find a legitimate state interest in keeping guns out of individuals homes, just like how they were able to uphold a legitimate state interest when they neutered the woman in Buck v. Bell. If they can argue that you don't have a right to your private parts then how can you possibly say they won't ever take the gun out of your home?

Actually Buck v. Bell would seem more in line with keeping mentally ill people from having guns.

I hate that people abuse tragedy and exploit victims for political gain. That is all.
