the most of these politico's can not
define what "military style" is
or..... what an
assault weapon is
before anyone should be proposing a law the definition needs to be clearly established
define assault weapon.....
an ar15 is NOT an
assault weapon
define (you want a ban/regulation) of what an
assault weapon is
everyone of these is what an ar15 could have....to include choice of caliber size)
is it caliber size
is it magazine(round storage) size
is it semi-auto
is it a handguard to protect the hands from a hot barrel
is it that it can have a scope mounted
is it that it can have a bipod mounted
is it because its (as the rolling stones said) Painted Black
nearly everyone of those option is available on nearly every
weapon...to include handguns
the only one that is not available on nearly every
weapon is: and its NOT available on the ar15 without an ILLEGAL mod (or grandfathered M16)....is it full auto
the ar15 is available:
in different calibers
in different magazine(round storage) size
in different styles of handguard to protect the hands from a hot barrel
in different scope mounts
in different bipod mounted
in different colors
nearly every rifle has those different options,,,over 65% of ALL rifles are semi
so if YOU are going to say BAN
assault weapons LIKE the ar15...you are meaning nearly all rifles....AND HANDGUNS...... so make a definition otherwise you ARE SAYING ban them all..including handguns and pump shotguns
what about my tube magazine lever action Henry 44mag rifle (like what the "Rifleman" had but full length )
so which is it ...ban an UNDEFINED set of weapons(which really means ban all).. or maintain our constitutional rights that shall no be infringed
