If that will help you go ahead. But, you seem to be the only one in this conversation that doesn't actually recognize what a shotgun is, be it a street sweeper, or, a semi-auto with a detatchable magazine.

Unintentionally you illustrate perfectly the flaws of perception and appearance of the banned firearms and accessories in the Clinton AWB.

I bid you goodnight henrjam; and, thank you, I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time!

Maybe you haven't noticed, a few things have changed in the meantime.

Why is the US military(as well as our NATO allies) still in Afghanistan?

It's a Saiga 12. A 12 gauge, semi-automatic shotgun based on the AK-47 platform and built in Russia. I like the belt fed variation - dinzagarms

You're right. Washington only fought the Redcoats for 8 years. A couple of hundred years later, the mujahideen fought the Soviet military to a draw after 8 years, after which Soviets withdrew, despite their lopsided advantage in tanks, bombers and helicopters. By the way, 9 years after we showed up in Afghanistan, we're still fighting the Taliban. Heck, black Christian rebels in South Sudan have been fighting the Arab Muslim government for 27 years, in the face of government tanks, bombers and helicopters.

You are right, I have no idea of what "detatchable" is. Good night.

Geez, after reading this thread I'm sure glad I don't live in the USA where there are more guns than there are people....That would make even me paranoid!..Hell, I don't even lock my doors at night, and have never had a problem...The chances of even a burglar having a gun here is remote...
