Get back to us after someone commits mass murder with a rainbow flag.

Because you may not feel the need, you cannot possibly be exactly like everyone else.
Dare to be different. Attention getting.

Making a statement to the gun haters.
So attention whoring? Well if there was ever a good reason to walk around a crowded city street with an AR-15 it's that.

Then go live in a state where you rights to own a gun are infringed, so you can feel safer, while not actually being safer.

Obviously, a lot of gun owners are in reality very weak and very scared individuals, who are afraid of their own shadows and see devils hiding under every rock and behind every bush and tree.

I wonder if they still sleep with a nightlight.

I'm as rabidly pro-gun and pro 2nd ammendment as they get. And I agree. Dumb way to make a statement and influence public opinion. I have no issues with open carry of a handgun in a holster though, and think we need more. But long guns as daily carry weapons? Pushing it a bit much.

I don't have to go anywhere.Mo doesn't infringe on gun rights ; but we (won't,don't) put up for this stupid stuff at all. Think your tuff? Come to Mo and act like this and then BUBBA will see how tough you are.Because you will be in jail or likely dead after a SWAT Team gets to you. You are implying that i am against gun ownership. I am against idiots that do these stupid things. Doesn't help us responsible gun owners one bit.

Nobody is intentionally lying. People who don't handle these weapons don't know the difference between an assault rifle and an AR15 sporter. Only way anyone can tell is if they see the "happy switch", which is very easy to miss and they wouldn't know what it was if they did see it.
You gun radicals will just have to accept the fact that the average citizen brands an AR or an AK and all the variants as assault rifles.

Ya'll sound really stupid when you go on about "Oooh! you called an AR sporter an assault rifle"!

To the general public, that's what it is and nobody is deliberately lying when labeling it as such. You guys are just going to have to learn to live with the handle. Just like you want everyone else to live with you walking in to a restaurant, where a family of 5 is trying to eat, with an AR with beta drum and ordering a cup of joe while you smugly case the joint to see all the horrified looks on the parents faces.
I know the difference and have some of each variety. Sport rifles and true assault rifles of the HK and AK variety. I have more federal tax stamps than brains, or at least that's what my wife says. But my opinion doesn't matter to you because I'm a volume gun owner and collector who doesn't believe in the shenanigans of the radical gun rights faction, the crap they pull and the BS they talk.

I have owned guns since i was a kid. I don't know what a HAPPY SWITCH is..

I used to wonder why Texans around here are called being full of s***. I now understand. Silly that so few get some many branded by their silly actions.

Never heard a gun owner call anything a "happy switch". What do you mean by volume?
