is there a reason why you keep saying "military style" instead of pointing out the features that bother you? is that some kind of tactic or are you just really so ignorant that you cant answer the question? it seems like you just want to do something for the sake of doing something. you are probably aware that you don't even have a real position on this issue beyond "people are being killed, we must ban something."

I'm not interested in getting involved in your distraction games.....You asked a question and I gave a black and white answer. Adding your additional nonsense only distracts from that.....again....military style assault weapons that appear to be the weapon of choice for many mass shooters specifically designed for military use that have no other practical function except to kill lots of people quickly. That's about as clear as I can make it ?

you absolutely did not. you sidestepped the question and gave a very ambiguous answer. so why don't you tell me what specific features makes a hunting rifle ok and a "military style assault rifle" unacceptable? this is important because if you want to differentiate between the two, you need to choose features to ban.

If you think I'm gonna sit here and list "features"..... Your nuts. I've clarified anything that fits under the roof of "military assault weapon" originally designed for military use for combat....there's no need for the public to have a combat weapon. If that's not enough for you....too bad cause that's all your gonna get.

The point of the debate is gun control.....not features on guns. You constantly distract from the focus of the debate with nonsense that does absolutely nothing to finding a solution for increased safety.

gun control doesn't involve the features on guns?

you seem to take serious issue with military style weapons but you are ok with hunting weapons. are you not aware that the things that differentiate those types of guns are "features"?

Listen up Captain......if the term military assault style weapon is satisfactory for the President to get the message across to the nation and over 90% of the public seems to grasp the meaning of that term then it should be satisfactory for you.....unless your just dense or attempting to be difficult...... In any case take your nonsense elsewhere or request a list of "features" from the White House.

The Second Amendment doesn't distinguish between types of arms and makes it clear that there shall be no infringements on the right to keep and bear arms.
