Assault Weapons Ban Is Over.
« Reply #135 on: September 29, 2004, 05:13:00 PM »
Perfectly rational reason to own an assault rifle:
Assault rifles are much more fun to shoot than pistols

A reason why this isn't a big deal in the least:
Urban killings almost exclusively feature pistols

I honestly don't think people are buying assault rifles to "kill the mother f**".  I'm much more worried about some fucker whipping out his nine and dropping the mother f** than pulling out an AR-15 or M4A1.  Pistols are MUCH more effective murder weapons.

And all of the "gone postal" office killings seem to feature shotguns, sub-machine guns, or pistols.

yes, pistols are a cuase of alot of killings, but i was just citing what i hear from people (like today, people said that they were going to buy an assault rifle to shoot a negro if they pulled out there nine, or they were going to buy one so they could decimate a deer)

i understand there fun to shoot, but there also a choice weapon for alot of people (criminals) to commit robberies or the such (and yes, i understand that no matter what they could get an assault rifle but a ban is still a good measure to ensure its at least a challange to get one)

mainly, im sick of hearing about assault weapons and that the ban took away freedoms, it was merley there as a deterrent, and i wouldnt mind a bit if it was reinstated

Don't act like gun shooting is some age-old Olympic tradition.

You don't have any reason to own an assault rifle, and I'd rather you didn't have one.

Even Bush agrees.

Mostly, I agree.  Assault rifles should be tough to get, but they shouldn't be outside of our rights by any means.

If people have the right to buy 4-ton SUVs with their shitty driving record and DUI history, then assault rifles aren't so bad.  But I'm sure you can admit that banning Excursions, Escalades, and Navigators infringes on our rights.

they banned three wheel atv's because they roll over a lot (atleast where i live....)... not many people complained there... but thats not really relevant at all...


Assault Rifles are okay in my opinion, but i think they should require a higher class license... They really areen't the choice for criminals...


although that bank robbery in 97' in LA (that is about an hour from here) where they wore full body armor and had AK-47s and some modified sniper that was full auto( i think it was) was an example of bad people using ARs.... but they bought them illegally anyway...

Yeah... i have to discount any use of AK-47s as being relevant to the assault rifle ban.  AKs are cheap and easy to acquire for criminals who need them.  When someone is about to rob a bank (and waste a bunch of cops), I doubt they'll think for a second about some stupid ban that really only controlled modifications TO assault rifles.

The dangerous part of those guys was their armor... perhaps we should ban kevlar.

yes, i understand were your coming from

the point i was trying to make is that  the ban itself wasnt a bad idea, and reinstating it isnt a bad thing

i understand people want these guns for fun, but others want them for no reason at all yet still try to say without them there freedoms are being trampled

Well from Libertarian standpoint, I understand what they're saying.  But, there are other rights getting trampled that I find to be much more critical to our freedom.

rotfl.gif That ban was a joke it didn't stop anyone from acquiring an automatic assault weapon (it only affected guns that looked like assault weapons, as long it looked like dad's hunting rifle, you were ok), and won't change any of that now. All that it means now is that law abiding citizens can acquire them legally, after undergoing a thorough background check. It has no effect on the underground economy.

EDIT: 67thRaptorBull, you are a fucking vagina.

You don't even understand your rights. So I doubt you'd realize when they're being attacked.

I think the fact that the government can tap my phone without a warrant is an attack on my rights.

I just think it's time the word, "amendment", came into play for the second amendment, with the times, laws too, must change.

Wont be long before the Govt. does.

Religion's halfway there.

Media wings itself by choice.

I understand where you're coming from, but if the amendment is obsolete, then it should be amended.

They are adressing that statement by repealing Gun restrictions. I think yesterday the House voted to repeal the Dc gun ban by a demanding count. The right to Keep and Bear arms was being attacked and still is until every ban is lifted.

so what your basically saying is that protecting your right to own a gun youll never need is the most important thing?


well, once the government hauls your ass to prison for 3 years before allowing you a lawyer, come back and say that statement to me again

I'm not accusing you of wanting amendments, you're obviously against it.

I was just going off on a rant about religious freedom, sorry, I do that.
