Alaska Darin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 As for 800 rounds per minute from a semi-automatic, I have my doubts. You should because there is NO SUCH THING. Find me a human being who can pull a trigger 13 times per second. Retardicon is citing the cyclic rate of certain AUTOMATIC weapons, which are actually legal but require a bunch of money and a Class III FFL.

Captain Hindsight Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 There's got to be a happy medium. People need to think practically. Surely, no one can expect a document written 250 ago to remain relevant in its entirety. Cmon man people still quote the Bible when trying to pass a law. Btw did you know Jesus and Moses both used guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well at least you're not speculating. I agree that we're not going to stop bad people from doing bad things through gun control. I am a supporter of the 2nd amendment. I just think there needs to be some changes made. I don't think everything that is in the SAFE Act is bad. I do, however, think it was bullschit how Cuomo back-doored it. All I would like to see someday are reliable measures that will a) make it difficult for civilians to acquire any weapons and b) identify people who should never own them. I don't see how everyone in the U.S. would not want those two things. I'm not saying for police to go remove anything from anybody, so the Don't Tread on Me people can stand down. There are two extremes, the people who want no guns anywhere and the NRA. Surely, there are brilliant minds who can meet in the middle and come up with some sort of reform that preserves the 2nd Amendment but also protects (as much as possible) society as a whole. I admit, I posted the Seattle Times story in a dickish way. I do have a problem with semi-automatic weapons being available to the masses. But I'm not extreme; I don't think they should be banned. There's got to be a happy medium. People need to think practically. Surely, no one can expect a document written 250 ago to remain relevant in its entirety. Everyone should - in my opinion - want to keep the good guys safe. Eventually someone will commit a crime and we'll be told in the name of safety that a new law must be passed. The claim of "safety" always seems to get thrown out there when something happens. The public needs a hook before they approve something, and who could possibly oppose new laws in the name of "safety?" Except the SAFE Act has rounded up decent people and the state cannot provide objective evidence the law works as they advertised it to. Ask the guy in Amherst who took anti-anxiety meds and had a pistol permit revoked. Or the retired police officer who had insomnia in Rochester. Or the gun shop where a SWAT team raid was threatened when it was learned they sold AR's without a fixed magazine. People want to feel safe and they'll pretty much vote for anything. If they bothered to understand true intentions, i.e. control over gun-owners, they'd realize the safety narrative is BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The fact that matters the most is the simple fact that Holmes wanted to kill people that day, and if you took away all semi-automatic weapons, he'd have found another way. Possibly even a way that would have killed MORE people. There's your fact that matters most. Yeah! I mean come on! This is America! Jesus Christ himself has declared this land sacred and given each of us the right to own military-issue semi-automatic assault rifles in his name. I believe it also has something to do with the Star Spangled Banner. Is this not obvious? To the original poster's point: If you insist on a 5.56mm NATO round, why buy Chevy when you can buy Porsche? Screw the Ar-15. Go with Heckler & Koch MR556A1. That's obvious, isn't it? And while you are at it, by a mint NOS Kar 98 Mauser just for fun. What a wonderful weapon. And that bolt action. Sweet, especially when it's not -40 C in Stalingrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew how to make **** back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 That was here. Seems wild hogs are a real problem in the south. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=449721 Thanks for reposting that Jim. It's a sweet thread. What would Andrew Cuomo say?

/dev/null Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I wish the old fyou smiley was still around. I'd give it to all the anti-gun people in this thread Anyways, back to the OP. Smith and Wesson or Palmetto State Armory are decent ARs in the lower price range. If you're willing to spend a few more bucks go for a Colt or a Sig Sauer. Also might want to look at buying either a 22 upper or a 22 conversion kit if you're a plinker Molon Labe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 [quote name="Alaska Darin" post="3445592" timestamp= Let me know the next time someone uses an "assault rifle" to fire 800 rounds in a minute from 600 yards away, will you? If there's two things I'm good at, it's shooting 800 round, three inch groups from 600 yards in under a minute, and making outlandish claims on the internet.
