Assault Rifle Ban

[Verthanthi]

we need them because the government has them.

The "assault weapon" ban is utter nonsense, and I'm glad it's gone away, and I hope it is never renewed. You have to understand that they aren't talking about machine guns, that's banned by the machine gun act of like.. 1931 I think is the date. "Assault weapons" under that act are defined as having 2 or more "cosmetic features" of military type rifles. James Brady can rot in hell, for all I care. He wasn't shot with an assault weapon, he was shot with a pistol, and he won't be happy unless every single gun is banned. Why? Because he was on the bad end of some crazy trying to kill Reagan. Note: Some Crazy. Not a rational individual.

I think if a person wants to own a rifle with a pistol grip, a folding stock, a 30 round magazine, a bayonet, and a flash hider, then go for it. It's not like they shoot bigger ammo, or shoot any faster. Rather than wasting time and money banning stupid crap like this, I mean come on.. a flash hider? I'd much rather see full background checks including checks for EPOs, that have the ability to deny/force a waiting period, for firearms.

Yeah, the "assault" rifles are actually [i]semi-automatic[i] weapons. they just look badass. Nothing changes.

when will these idiot americans learn from the british.

[bloodzombie]

I dont' really care either way about this assault rifle ban, but it's a little boost for kerry, so I'm all for it.

[Squeezer]

becausing killing just one person isnt the american way.
Proof: Bush in Iraq

why does every topic in this forum come back to some way to bash Bush?

[Dameon Angell]

Its not like you can waltz right into a gun shop, buy an M16 and a bucket of bullets or something all willy-nilly like. You still have to have a background check, and have proper ID, and all that stuff. The terrorists and the gangs who get a hold of those weapons go on the blackmarket and go underground to get them. The ban won't stop the blackmarkets and such.

This morning on the news they were talking about the ban, and said that a Flash Hider "enables a person to shoot in the dark without the flash giving them away". I laughed and then was angry about it. These people are the news, they're supposed to check up on facts.

Just in cast any of the rest of you are under this erroneous impression:
A flash hider, all it does, is the muzzle flash that comes out of the end of the barrel, it directs the flash to the sides, instead of coming out in a giant bloom. Why? So the person firing the weapon isn't blinded by the flash and is able to see to take a second shot, if necessary.

I was reading fight club (novel > movie) and there was something mentioned about how drilling holes in the barrel of a pistol the right way would let the gas vent, lowering the noise and velocity of the bullet (which lowered the noise, no sonic boom) or something.

[Sarien]

Yeah, that'd be porting. But it's difficult and you risk fucking up you gun that way. The best way to accomplish a subsonic round is by using a larger bullet. I don't mean a larger caliber shell. I mean the actual bullet part. Bigger Bullet is heavier, and flies slower, but because of the larger mass it will fly almost as far. One of the versions in .308 of that is called the .308 Whisper.
