They are carbine rifles, Not 'assault rifles', To be so you have to have select fire. Semi auto is a carbine rifle, Just because it looks like death coming, Its only 'looks'. You can convert any semi auto to full. I had a 9mm sidearm that was full auto at one time. Hell you don't even need to convert them if you know you're weapon and bump fire it. I have done that with my SKS many times. But the only downfall of and reason its not real practical is one, You blow through a magazine/$20 bucks in a few seconds. Two, You can hit shit with full auto, You will spray the area. Best bet is three round burst as it only rides up and once you know you rifle, You will get 3 shot in the kill zone. It comes down to preference and what you want. I would rather have a sawed off 12ga. as the are the simplest to use and do the most damage possible in one round.
lets pretend we live in a world where guns are outlawed in the USA. everybody has to go down to the police station and turn in their firearms. who do you think is most likely to ignore these new laws and instead keep their gun tucked safely under their bed?
I personally will never turn shit in, they'd have to come forcefully take them at which point I'd open fire and defend our freedom and constitution. So I have a hard time pretending that haha.
I have a hard time pretending the government would even attempt to take anyone's guns away. Of course, the paranoid be paranoid.
It's not that they "know better", because they could take them and you would be dead. It's that they won't take them, because there is no reason to take them.
You don't know that. You have no idea what would happen. I'm so sick of that bullshit rhetoric. There is 300 million privately owned guns in this country. If the gov't decided to take them, all they would be doing is instantly creating passion in millions of Americans who believe in the founding principles of this country. Soldiers would go AWOL, etc. What are they gonna do, hire China to come take them?
Yes, I do know that, because of this stupid ass paranoid response: Keep being ignorant. It suits you.
You are calling me ignorant, yet you can't formulate one single argument to anything I say. Everything to you is along ideological lines and completely devoid of common sense. You really seem like a miserable person. Just sayin.
And further, my 'paranoid response' was addressing the shit spewing from your keyboard. Just because you are weak or afraid or whatever it is that gives you the perception we as a country could not successfully defend our god given and constitutionally protected rights from tyrants, does not make it so.
Hahaha, wow I will just go ahead and refrain from unleashing on you right now. Why don't you read back to when you called me paranoid, stupid, and ignorant.. rather than addressing the topic at hand for which you have no valid arguments. You are just a political drone that's regurgitates whatever your idols say, and you are afraid. Some people really need to be punched in the fucking face.
Actually, I am a political atheist. Keep believing the government is after your guns, darling. Keep believing, and maybe if you clap your hands loud enough, it might become true.
You really have no idea what you are talking about, therefore I am done talking to you. And don't call me darling. I'm not one of your fucking twinks.
I'm quite certain I know what I am talking about, but thank you for presuming to know my mind, darling.
Geez, why couldn't both of you control your personal insults and your cursing. The conversation was respectful last time I checked in on this thread. My position on gun bans: Not a good idea, probably ineffective. The only thing I was an advocate for were better backround checks that are consistently enforced nationwide (including online sales).
Maelstrom....there was a gun control act in 1996...they did take them away...columbine happened....learn your facts
