A pretend gun expert said this:First of all, I am not a big fan of the NFA. But I can see why something similar must be on the books. But I find the NFA way too specific in some areas and too vague in others.
Here are some of the points from that law.
1. No more manufacturing of the weapons, parts. Even replacement parts and Modifications and addons. The exception to that would be for Law Enforcement and Military Applications. I believe Colt already sees the handwriting on the wall on that one when they stopped manufacturing of their Model 750 and other AR-15 variants.
2. Voluntary Government Buy backs. Not mandantory.
3. Limits in the transportation of the ARs. You can still own them but you can't go to your favorite gun club and fire them. But you can still fire them on private property.
4. In order to purchase/trade/inherit these weapons, it's going to take an EFL or a FFL license. In other words, only a legally licensed person can obtain one. If you already have one, you are within the law. But if you die, you cannot pass it on to anyone without either the EFL or FFL License. Unless the weapon is totally disabled (i.e. leading in the barrel and disabling the firing mechanism making it a wall hangar).
That's just a thumbnail of it. For the first 10 years, there was almost zero effect in the Thompson Model 1921. But after that, they started to rapidly disappear. Are you going to go out and fire a firearm that you can't repair or get replacement parts for? We are talking about Law Abiding Citizens here, not criminals. But in the end, even the criminals won't have them either except as wall hangars.
Given the fact very few people get killed with AR's, what's the point of messing with them at all? I'll tell you why, the media.
Democrats could care less about the 20 or 30 people that get gunned down every week in the streets of Chicago with hand guns, they're more worried about 6 people getting killed once a year or so with an AR. So why is the left so focused on them? Because the MSM sensationalizes the mass killings and ignores your everyday murders with common handguns.
Can you explain where the government is going to get this money to buy back guns when we are 26 trillion dollars in debt and growing? Better still, what would they actually accomplish with that? Criminals? Do you think criminals will ever give up their guns?
Yes, we have those stupid buy back programs here. A friend of mine used to work at the steel mills. He melted those guns down a couple of times. Do we still have gun murders in the city? You bet. So the city wasted all that money to solve nothing. Typical liberal thinking.
The point in all this is to make getting or owning a gun such a problem many will just give up on it. Government allowing manufacturers and gun stores to be sued out of business is the dictator way. If people don't resist this, the next step will be you have to be psychologically evaluated before being allowed to own a gun, and that means your ability of gun ownership will lie in the hands of leftist shrinks.
The AR has been used in the Record Braking Body Count Mass Shootings. The majority of the sillyvillian guns are not going to be taken EVER. You keep trying to use that fear and it's not working so well as people start seeing past the fear campaign. But the AR is a different breed. It WAS invented as a Military Weapon. Every feature on it is so that it can kill lots of people by a barely trained, scared shitless 18 year old in a firefight. Just because it can do other things doesn't make it any less. If I am 50 feet from my tool chest and only have my adjustable wrench handy and need to hammer in a nail I can still use the wrench. That doesn't make it a hammer.
If you bothered to actually "READ" the 1934 NFA you would see that the AR could possibly be added to that list. And that is what you should be centered on. You shouldn't be shrieking to the high heavens that they are out take all our "Guns". Otherwise, when you do have a point no one of importance will listen to you, chicken little.
Sandy Hook....26 people killed
32 people killed at Virginia tech shooting....2 pistols.
Luby's cafe, 24 people killed with two pistols.
you don't know what you are talking about.....
The AR-15 is no different from any other civilian rifle, you dumb doofus.
If the AR-15 is no different, then why do you want it?>
The AR-15 has advantages that other rifles don't have......
1) you can get an adjustable stock so that multiple members of the same family can shoot the rifle. Other rifles with wood stocks don't fit all body sizes easily.
2) It is a much softer shooting rifle in .223, a small caliber or 5.56 over a 12 gauge shotgun for home defense....also, the AR-15 can have a shorter barrel than a pump or semi-auto shotgun since it uses a magazine over a tube for the ammo....making it easier to use if it is used for home defense, especially for women.
3) It comes equipped to take optics, lights and a laser, even all 3 at the same time, while other rifles, do not come with those rails to mount those pieces of equipment.
4) Taking a magazine makes it easier to reload under the stress of a violent home invasion...vs. moving a bolt, using a lever, or a pump to reload after each shot.....and reloading a magazine is easier than feeding rounds in one at a time to reload in the stress of a violent criminal attack.
Just a few off the top of my head...
"The AR-15 is no different from any other civilian rifle, you dumb doofus."
A hand grenade isn't any different than a bottle rocket either.
