A semi auto that shoots a .223 is a semi auto that shoots a .223. It does not matter if the gun looks like a traditional style rifle or a military weapon.
It does not matter if it holds a 5, 10, 20 or 100 round magazine. All semi auto .223 rifles can deal out the same damage in about the same time even with multiple magazine change outs.
Rounds per minute fired in a semi auto depends solely on how fast one can pull the trigger and is not dependent on any "mode".
SO maybe just maybe you should learn a little bit about the weapons you want to ban.
And then you would realize that you are indeed calling for the ban of all semiauto rifles and then you can start being honest about it.
Guy, I worked with M16's for 11 years in the US Army.
So were you sleeping through the classes that taught facts about guns or what?
You plainly dont know what makes an M16 round tumble, what constitutes an aussalt weapon, and why a single shot auto-loader is not a military grade weapon.
You are an 11 year veteran? hah, I see no evidence of that claim.
In your fascist opinon. And besides, you arent talking about taking away M16,s you are talking about banning all guns that auto-load, an entirely unnecesary thing.
The M-16 was specifically designed to make that .223 round a lot more deadly by increasing the tumble rate and the amount of propellent behind it. It was made to require low maintenance, and a high rate of fire comparable to the damage meeted out by its contemporary, the AK-47.
Again, the M16 is not what you are trying to ban. The M16 is alrady a restricted gun that requires a special icense from the ATF to buy.
And it just plain shouldn't be in the hands of civilians.
You really cant tell the difference between facts and your assinine opinion, can you?
