And for those that are unaware, Select Fire means capable of FULLY automatic fire, not just semi automatic fire like the AR-15, and similar semi auto rifles.

And have yet to even make 1,000.
Such a serious threat to society...
Where's your outrage for pistols or is it only for rifles? Because that's your shared lemming ideology?

I have no outrage for pistols, or rifles, or shotguns. I own all three types.

Why are you outraged at pistols? Is it because of your lemming ideology.

I would like to know why murders by rifles has skyrocketed.

Why is it so upsetting for you that some people dont call them "modern sporting rifles".

My wife calls my sand wedge a "club", but it does not anger me.

Sky rocketed? Do you even math?
Look at pistols. 121% increase.

I'm not outraged at pistols rifles or shotguns.

I'm merely pointing out the inconsistency and lack of supporting evidence to propose banning limiting regulating rifles.
For if the fixation is ARs, AKs, and whatever else lemmings want to label an assault weapon/rifle, they conveniently turn a blind eye to pistols...
In otherwords. Tyrants gonna tyrant and try to have their cake and eat it too by using media coined buzzphrases and buzzwords parroted by turds in cheap suits to make arbitrary law and eroding a Constitutionally protected right even further.

2017 FBI stats.

Other weapons, or weapons not stated-979

Knives or other cutting instruments-1591

Personal weapons (hands, feet, etc)-696

Blunt objects-467

Rifles-403

Seems like knives and fists are much more dangerous than the evil black rifle.

Colt Ad from 1962 when it debuted to public market.
Show us where it says assault rifle.

Because I'm failing to see it...

Buzzwords and buzzphrases are subjective good feelz, hollow and empty, like the people's heads who regurgitate them to be inflammatory to conjure lemmings by the feelz to feel- since they're incapable of thinking, there is a substantial problem/threat needing adressing.

Have to admit... assault rifle assault weapon sounds intimidating and menacing...
We play fast and loose with definitions... Ban this. Ban that. Won't be long before grandpa Fudds marlin or winchester lever action is subjectively interpreted as an assault weapon/rifle.


Yet...
The supporting evidence is never provided. Just emote out and carry on incessantly like an immature child.

I mean, you would think if semi auto rifles were such a threat to society, homicides involving a rifle would be in the 10s of thousands correct?

Yet... when you look at data... both FBI and CDC and even some from the ATF...
The evidence does not exist to justify the tyrannical approach of restricting individuals liberty en masse for a false sense of security.

I can't call something something that it's not without supporting evidence.
Words have set in stone definitions. Yet... some think since it's cool and hip they can subjectively reinterpret definitions to further their agendas... Nah....

That's been consistent since back to the beginning of the previous administration... And even before the previous administration...
Hands/fists feet, blunt force objects and knives have been used more than rifles...
Yet... no common sense universal background checks or redflag laws have been ever been called upon for those items...
