If one was planning on committing chaos, the best device would be a Benelli M4 shotgun with a .50cal ball and double 00 buck rounds. A semi-auto weapon would be an inferior device, unless the targets were 50 yds out or greater. The Saiga shotgun with the ability to place a 24 round 12g shell drum would be an equally, if not greater, threat.

Why do the feds want to limit "assault weapons"? Simply to disarm citizens which are becoming less and less pleased by their lack of concern for the populace. Keep America well armed. There may come a time when even liberals appreciate a well armed citizenry.

That would be because it sounds good and makes the left wing anti gun nitwits feel all warm and fuzzy.....

Didn't you show them where to hit them?

My 10-22 does a number on them out to 100 yards. One shot right in the ear hole.

My preferred weapons are:

For self defense: (concealed carry)

45 cal pistol
22 cal Derringer as back up

For household defense:

12 gauge short barreled rifled shotgun.
The above pistols

For pest control:

The selection depends on the pest. I do not hunt boar with a popgun.

For War:

50 cal M-2 (happiness is a belt fed weapon)
M-14 (7.62 NATO)
12 gauge shotgun
45 cal pistol
Radio connected to an artillery battery. (The most effective)

Rather inconvenient as well ... not so bad for the perp though ... me thinks he likes that scenario.

That's where a big dog with a taste for human flesh...comes in handy.

You're glad when people laugh at your ignorance? Is it safe to say that you are often glad?

Every time, and when they show themselve to be an ass, I laugh out loud.

LMAO, Rick.

Why don't you enlighten poor me and cite the definition, under Federal Law, of Assault WEAPONS. Or are you content to tee hee and offer nothing.
