That's good to know. Thanks. Can you please point out where and how full auto has anything to do with the assault weapons ban?
I call them like I see them. If I see ignorance I point it out. If the ignorant party gets hurt over being called out I can't help that (especially when they come back time and again after being told they're wrong).
Under the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which is still in force in some states, a rifle is defined as an assault weapon if it is semi automatic, accepts a detachable magazine, and has two or more of the following features:
That's just to bring you up to speed because you apparently missed it the three or four other times I posted it. A Ruger 10/22 could be configured as an assault weapon. Should we ban those? So as you can see, what you consider to be an assault weapon is not relevant nor will it ever be....
And you continue to reference only rifles.
As for relevance, well, we'll just leave that one alone.
sorry man, when you need a cop they are never around. plus other things that are questionably unconstitutional that they and fed leo do is not good either.
I believe that the only law enforcement that should be in effect in the 3000+ odd counties in the USA are sheriff's and their deputies.
all other cops and law enforcement should be fired to include the dea, batf, fbi, and tsa. I know there are others leo's i forgot, but they need to be fired as well.
Don't worry about it, I'm no longer a cop. I retired a long time ago. A lot of people don't like cops, I figure that's their problem, not mine.
just because the fedgov consider the above items to be assault rifles does not mean they actually are.
just because the dollar is actually considered the currency of the USA does not mean that it actually is.
Therein lies the problem. The statist antis can't figure out that just because the government calls something an "assault weapon," it doesn't mean it is. The author of the AWB thinks a barrel shroud is a "shoulder thing that goes up." lmao
I call them like I see them. If I see ignorance I point it out. If the ignorant party gets hurt over being called out I can't help that (especially when they come back time and again after being told they're wrong).
I take very little of what is said in this forum personally. Life's too short.
...clicking ignore... See how that works? I invite you to do the same.

I used a standard issue, Smith & Wesson Model 10 M&P .38. Hardly a weapon of war. It was a tool, nothing more.
Haven't used, bought or needed a gun since I retired and turned in my side arm.. Seen enough of them to do me for a lifetime.
A weapon of war blew out my right kidney, I wouldn't touch one now.
You want to get all wet over guns, fine. The 2nd amendment gives you the right to.
Do you know M&P stands for military and police? Model 10's were used in WWII, it was a revolver marketed for military use in its various versions...
