should AR-15 be outlawed

[Jipsah]

fun rifle, but too heavy for ease of use for hunting:

Some of the SKSs were bloody dangerous. The striker would jam forward and the next round in the mag would fire even if the trigger wasn't pulled, until the mag went dry. Kind of "instant full auto".

 

[Jipsah]

Squeeze the trigger, one bullet comes out.

As fast as you can squeeze it, for, say, 60 rounds, interrupted only by a very brief intermission to change mags. We've seen a good many examples of how that math works out.

Better to start banning/restraining posts from unintelligent people who fear inanimate objects.

No need to fear homicidal maniacs armed with 100-shooters who decide to murder a few of their closest friends, right?

 

[Jipsah]

Yeah - never seen a rifle or handgun for that matter commit a crime.

Right. Lessee, take the Las Vegas shooter, take away his long mags and rifles to shoot 'em with, and replace them with M1 Garands. Same maniac, much reduced death toll. Neither rifle will have committed a crime. Let's not talk rubbish.

Let's not talk rubbish.

Agreed this was settled long ago.

Welcome to Canada;
first banned magazines over 10 rounds for all semi-autos, pistols, rifles, shotguns;
then banned anything over 5 for semi rifles,
then restricted certain rifles (AR being one of them) and at the same time, prohibited all hand guns with barrels shorter than 4.2" barrels.
Canceled registrations on certain restricted rifles such as AR, moved them to prohib status; (They claim we will be compensated when the organize a buy-back) Nothing but talk so far.
Prohibited the buying and selling of all handguns; (BTW, when a registered owner dies, my estate must turn them in for destruction with no compensation. (This is the current law here in Canada)
Proposing an amendment to restrict magazine capacities on all firearms regardless of type to 5, including rimfire and all tubular magazines.
While this happened, they softened bail and reduced penalties for Criminals who use firearms to commit crimes.

You guys are in for a long miserable ride.

My prayers to our brothers and sisters in Canada against the tyranny they are experiencing.

(they softened bail and reduced penalties for Criminals who use firearms to commit crimes.) Sounds familiar, here in some City's the Democrat installed DA's are not enforcing the laws at all and criminals have free reign. Its like their goal is to create as much Chaos and destruction as possible to further their (has nothing to do with guns) control agenda. If a person defends themselves against an attacker or thief, then THEY are in deep trouble. So violence is rapidly on the rise, as are the weak minded fools screaming for gun control because of all the violence created by the enemies of law and order ....... Liberty.

I believe we live in the days Paul wrote about, the days where wrong is right and right is wrong. Unfortunately for the lost, in the end God is in control and his will, will be done.

Marxist doctorship; that is Canada.

So yeah, let's just let every mental defective with a grudge have a weapon that he can load up on Sunday and shoot the rest of the week.

or instead we could do the intelligent thing and get that person the mental health treatment that they actually need, Yes we could treat the problem instead of blaming the gun.
