As far as I'm concerned, a hunter does not need a semi-automatic rifle to hunt, if he does he sucks, and should go play video games.
In Georgia they’re used for hunting feral hogs, and you definitely want a semiautomatic rifle for it.

HA HA, you would think these people would come to realize that by now? But I guess not!


Gun laws are not stopping anyone from obtaining a gun, hell, you can find them on classified ads online. Private sales, swaps, trades, etc. NO PAPERWORK, just a handshake and cash exchanged...the way it should be done anyway.


The handguns I sold for my now deceased friend, (before he went into a nursing home), the guy replied to the ad, he came and looked at them...we agreed on a price and he was out the door with 3 handguns. I dont even think we knew his last name, he paid in cash, and that is all my friend wanted at that time. I have no clue where those guns are today, they could have been re sold 100 times over by now.


This is why gun laws should not get anyone worked up or upset, they are so many unknown/un registered guns floating around out there, its not possible to do anything effective about them. How would police or the govt even find the person that now has these guns? That alone would be impossible.


So, if anyone is getting worried about the govt cracking down on our gun rights...it wont amount to a hill of beans, there is NOTHING they can do realistically. Its too late now.

These people are truly a menace to a lawful society because they use emotion, not knowledge and facts, to take a heavy hand to a constitution that millions of people have died for and brilliant men created.

I'll start:

1. The 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban" banned assault weapons. FALSE.
2. "You can't kill a dozen people in a minute with a handgun." FALSE.
3. AR-15s are very powerful...too powerful for deer hunting. FALSE.
4. There are no background checks on firearms sales in many states. FALSE.
5. AR-15s are not used for hunting. FALSE.
6. "Mass shootings only happen in the USA." FALSE.
7. "Most mass shooters use AR-15s." FALSE.

What other whoppers have you seen by these people lately?
It did ban assault guns. School shooters, the Tulsa guy, that type of thing, they all use ar15 kinds. Mass shootings include normal Sat. night in Baltimore stuff and that's a different problem and not a gun control one.

While I'm quite certain she didn't know it - you can certainly get an AR platform rifle in .50 BMG or .50 BEO.

So, despite her best efforts, she's actually sorta right?

AR-15 is a perfect home defense weapon for women or older people who can't operate the slide on a handgun or deal with the recoil of a shotgun.

It didn’t ban “assault guns”. It banned cosmetic features.

Not all school shooters use AR-15s. It’s more common in school shootings now because there is a hysteria built up around the “scary black rifles” but at the time of the AWB it was not. Columbine was not perpetrated with an AR-15. Nor were the school shootings which occurred in that same period.

Hmmm, notice how they go after the guns that are NOT used in mass shootings?


That is pretty suspicious! Makes me wonder what their real intent is.

"The 'AR' in 'AR-15' means 'assault rifle'". FALSE

"The AR-15 sprays 'bullets' all over the place." FALSE

"You can go through a 'clip' in seconds with an AR-15". FALSE

"Clip." IGNORANT

"Bullets". IGNORANT

"Just shoot them in the leg." IGNORANT

Why ask that about that specific name of rifle ? Why aren't you asking what a semi auto rifle is used for ? That would be the correct question.

Why do some people use a Honda for transportation, while others use a Ford ? Personal preference. They are both vehicles.

An AR is just another semi auto rifle, nothing more.

Come on man, you know damn well she stated that to make it sensationalize it more. The standard AR is a 5.56/.223 , I'm sure you know that.
