What is an "assault rifle"?

[bripat9643]

In a Fox poll released yesterday, 67 percent of Americans support a ban on assault weapons

So let’s get it done.

90% of Americans don't even know what an assault weapon is. That includes you.

 

[bripat9643]

OK....lets compromise

3 shots every 2 seconds
That’s 15 shots in ten seconds
Why would anyone need more?

What's wrong with one round per trigger pull?

Opens up too much ambiguity

The OP and other gun enthusiasts mockingly say you can’t define an Assault Weapon
I’m saying limit magazine capacity and firing rate and you have a definition

No it doesn't

Almost every firearm in existence today fires one round per trigger pull

WHat you are trying to do is label every single firearm as an "assault" weapon

The actual definition has been given

And assault rifle is a military weapon with the capability of burst and or fully automatic fire

So you want to negotiate on firing rate?

An AR-15 fires three rounds per second
What rate do you want as a threshold for Assault Weapon?

An AR-15 fires at the same rate as almost any other firearm manufactured within the last 100 years.

You are comparing the AR to a full-auto.

.

He doesn't know the meaning of the terms "semi-auto" and "full-auto."

 

[progressive hunter]

yes we can,,,

Practically speaking, no we can't.

.

reality speaking yes we can,,,,

Ok, if we give you the money and you get to keep the gun, you say you can go to a gun store right now and buy a select-fire weapon and walk out with it?

which gun store?? not all are licensed for them,,,

there are a few close to me that carry full auto and are more than happy to get me started on the process,,,

and I can also get one from a private owner,,,

Troll status confirmed.

how so??

I'll bet after seeing the lying stain on the news a whole back he knows what full semi auto is.

/---/ Moot point since there is no such thing as an Assault weapon except in the Gun Grabbers' vocabulary.

An assault weapon..or in fact most semi auto weapons can fire as fast as you can twitch your finger.

How fast is that?

Try it. It's pretty friggin fast. It makes nearly any semi auto weapon the near equivalent of a machine gun...which is a banned or heavily regulated weapon

There definition is "any gun that fires more than one shot."

Hardly. You can fire about 2 shots a second with a semi-auto, and you can't maintain that rate for more than 2-3 seconds. Furthermore, only the first shot has a chance of hitting anything you're aiming at. The slowest fully automatic fires 600 rounds a minute.

If you think you are going to pass laws the require guns to be "safe," you're a ******* lunatic. Is someone breaking into your home going to be scared off by a gun that is "safe?" Obviously, to be effective, a gun has to be capable of killing people.

There is simply no end to the stupid shit you are willing to say.

But it reveals so much.....they will not stop till all guns are banned.

 

[Hale]

This is a stupid debate. American Citizens have the right to own any firearm a soldier uses, that's the express intent of the 2nd Amendment.

It's not about hunting, it's not about target shooting, it's not about what firearms YOU think I should have, it's all about maintaining personal freedoms.

These are simple facts, and not open to controversy.

Those who disagree should find a new country.

No semi auto's are banned liar.

So can a 22
So can a revolver.

No a. 22 fires only one round per trigger pull.

An AR fires one round per trigger pull that is all it will ever fire

You cannot fire as fast as an automatic rifle with your finger

he's talking about how fast the rounds can be allowed to so in a semi-automatic mode.

yea, he got this stupid.

 

[Hale]

Is this fast enough? "Only" about 300 rounds per minute, but no real difference from full auto in effectiveness.

 

[Diver Diva]

They had no idea we would have 30,000 gun deaths a year

Source? How many of those are legally owned guns responsible for? How many are suicides? How many are by law enforcement?

Still waiting for a source on your bogus 30,000 figure.

 

[Hale]

And to all you morons who think a full-auto weapon is the equivalent of a fire hose, you're simply wrong. More rounds does NOT equal more hits, and AR rifles are virtually NEVER used on full auto in actual combat.
