I don't really understand why you would EVER need an assault rifle unless you were doing something illegal lol.

This thread is not about your personal deficiencies.

Great idea. We only house about 2.5 million in prison now, and have a population of about 235 million. We have more people in prison than most countries on Earth have in prison COMBINED, including China with over a billion people and only about 200k in prison. And we call ourselves a free nation. Oh, the irony.

Those aren't all violent criminals. If drugs were decriminalized that number would be cut in half very quickly.

Kinda trollish but I'll bite....I bought a fully auto AR15 and a MAC10 a week after the ban dropped. Also bought 20 round clips for my pistols.

But its kinda trollish.

woldn't that be an m16? what did you pay? what pistols that hold 20rnds?

M15 is usually referred to the semi-auto version of the m16. Otherwise youre right same gun

Most guns will hold a 20 round clip, especially Glock and ParaOrd Hawg which is what I have. It simply extends the handle.

no, it isn't. semi-auto m16 is an ar15. m15 is a completely different rifle.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15

The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.

The AR15 rifle is available in a wide range of configurations from a number of manufacturers. These configurations range from short carbine-length models with features such as adjustable length stocks and optical sights, to heavy barrel models.

Aftermarket upper receivers that incorporate barrels of different weights and lengths, and handle different caliber ammunition, abound for this rifle. They are very easily installed, due to the rifle's modular design. These calibers include (in caliber size order):

Pistol calibers:

7.62x25mm
9mm luger
10mm
40 S&W
45 ACP
5.7x28mm
.50 AE
Rifle calibers:

.17 Remington
.17 Remington Fireball
.22 Long Rifle
.20 Tactical
.204 Ruger
.221 Remington Fireball
.222 Remington
.222 Remington Magnum
5.45x39mm
5.56x45mm NATO
.223 Remington
.223 WSSM
6mm PPC
6mm-223 Remington
.243 WSSM
6.5 Grendel (.264 cal)
6.8 SPC (.270 cal)
.300 Whisper
7.62x39mm
.450 Bushmaster
.458 SOCOM
.50 Beowulf

you said M15 is a semi-auto M16, I corrected you by saying it's called an AR15. I have no idea why you posted this.

Um, it's a hobby? Do you also accuse car guys of being born with 2" penises?

What's your hobby, being aloof?

Are you asking the people who own them or the people who are fixated on banning them?

Youre wrong. Less than 5% of jail population is for personal use possesion. There wasa thread awhile ago and google will help you also.

Yea, stock up now, so when they ban them later and you have to turn them over for free or face a felony, and you will lose the cash you spent to buy them. Great idea, man.

Hope you got a nice deep hole dug in your backyard to hide them all in if you bought them with no background checks at a gun show, too.

What's the point of having an assault rifle if you can't use it and have to hide it to own it or go to jail?

I dunno why you'd want any thing but a shot gun... I was in the army and I could care less about AR-15's etc...etc... Shot guns rule for home security any day. But, what's your point in buying them now and turning them over later unless you plan on breaking the laws?

What is your real motive?

Because theyre fun to shoot Thats like saying why would you want a car other than a Yugo? I mean...it just gets you from point A to point B right?

Since the car comparison comes up constantly with the gun one (what a shocker you beer drinking, car racing, macho gun nuts) I think they should ban certain types of sport vehicles, like Mustang or Camero V8s (or ANY high output sport vehicles or engines) for the use of people who are under 21, or maybe even under 30. It is a fact young people speeding and racing cars illegally are now the number 1 cause of death among those under 25. And they are not just killing themselves, they are killing whole car loads of friends with them, and crashing into innocent victims and killing them at the same time. Until their brains catch up with their balls, teenagers and young adults have no business driving any car that does over 70 MPH. Are you happy now?

Teen Drivers: Fact Sheet:

Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, accounting for more than one in three deaths in this age group. In 2005, twelve teens ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries.

My bad. I mixed up AR and M. My original post was for AR15, and subsequent posts should have refered to it as. Thanks for the correction for my typo

I would say that most gun afficianados don't even think about killing another human. Responsible and safe gun owners follow Gun Safety Rules and do everything they can to prevent such things from happening. When you accuse them of being killers just because they own a firearm, well I can understand them being touchy.

I never accused anyone of anything, I was just saying that the object of their hobby is specifically designed to kill humans.

You have psychological issues if you need that many assault weapons and ammo. Sorry.

Of course, drawing the line between personal use and intent-to-distribute is based on quantity...not the person's actual intention. Because of that I doubt there's any real way to accurately know the numbers. Just like cereal at Costco, drugs can be cheaper if you buy or grow in bulk...even when it comes to personal use.

Well, then the Constitution should include mortar launchers and bazookas too, right? If you can carry it, you should be able to own one, right? Wouldn't that be included in your loose standard of a firearm, Mr. Constitution? :roll:

And where exactly does a flame thrower fit in that worldview? Besides flaming away at your right to use any type of firearm made? Do you think they envisioned an assault rifle over 200 years ago? By that Constitutional standard, you should only be allowed to wield a one shot black powder musket, correct? Since that is all they had 200 years ago?

Here is what the Constitution GUARANTEES your RIGHT TO HAVE:

Antique 200 year old guns

I mean WTF already, NRA douchebags.

1. Explosives and incendiaries are not allowed because of public safety issues (well, there are many reasons, not all of which I agree with, but that's one that makes sense). If you use a flamethrower for self defense, you're liable to set your entire house on fire, and possibly your neighbor's house as well. If you store explosives on your property and they blow up, anyone else living near you is at risk as well.

2. By that logic (only muskets should be allowed), freedom of speech should only apply to printing presses and quill pens, since ballpoints, typewriters, and computers hadn't been invented yet. While we're at it, why not take away freedom of religious expression for any religion that wasn't around in the late 18th century. Bye bye, Mormonism! See ya, Scientology!

Youre wrong. Not entirely, but the exception doesnt make the rule., When it comes to Americans owning guns I would be willing to bet less than .5% of owners own one for the reason of killing someone. Now, you could argue owning one to protect one's property qualifies but I would ask you this: If someone broke into your house and threatened your wife, kids, property would you just tell them to hold on a sec while you call 911? Come on man. Guns are owned for sport and fun.
