This is the exact reason why I own assault rifles. U think your gonna fend of this guy who wants to do a home invasion with a revolver or hunting rifle? Bad guys will always have guns like these. Stand up for your 2nd amendment right.

The only thing I can see that illegal on the AM 47 is that it has no magazine release gard it just makes it hard to release the magazine you have to have a special tool to release the mag to make it Calif compliant and the magazine is only allowed to have 10 Rounds that’s a 40 rounder but you can put a screw in it where I can only load 10 round that would make it California compliant but the laws change daily so that’s what it was a year ago in order to legally have a semi-automatic AK-47

Such witty sarcasm… how about coming around to understanding that these weapons that are made to kill people as you said, should be outlawed? Just like, say, ricin or anthrax? Yes sometimes the ‘bad guys’ can get these things too, but it’s at least it’s not as easy as going to the local hardware store to get it. Anyway, like Ive said before… I hunt and own guns… not against guns. But I am against assault weapons and so should any self respecting sportsman. Or woman.

Ummm. Ar15 are not designed to kill, Designed to wound. Takes 4 guys to pack out a wounded man, That would take 5 people out of the fight..5.56mm light in front heavy in back causes tumble and fragment, Less likely to kill.

i’m thinking the Snowflake 175M is the best to stand up to the Gov. it looks as if they will be voting in large numbers in Nov. if you haven’t done the math yet it equals game over for all that oppose them. hopefully they do the right thing and don’t abuse it.

Negative, for instance, in this last school shooting in Florida 17 victims died of their wounds and 14 have survived their wounds, (their lives shortened) The military doesn’t want to wound enemy combatants in close combat, or bin laden would have died by another weapon, and no infantry unit would carry it, when did the Military ever want a less effective tool to kill the enemy with? The MOAB isn’t full of tickle me Elmo’s, and the M1 carbine was a weapon that wounded enemy soldiers, that was it’s flaw. Nobody ever taught me to just wound the enemy. The “controlled pair” stops the heart and collapses the lungs.

So what’s the solution? It’s like my example with poison… it’s a thing that shouldn’t be out there so you outlaw it. Sure some people will still get the illegal thing but it would be harder, illegal and less likely to end up in the wrong hands. That’s what a society s does. The alternative, what we have now, is any idiot can go get one of these things and shoot up whatever they want. It’s NOT WORKING.. the point you are making is the point put out by the NRA. It is not logical. Give it up.. too many kids getting shot.

Why don’t you look at the root of the problem instead of the tools? The problem is people! People that do not respect life in any way nor form. People that have mental issues. People that are criminals. Start addressing those three things about people: respect for life, good support/ intervention for mental health, and that includes addressing the criminal mind.

Good luck fixing people.im being *practical*. Sometimes a right is over ridden when the threat to public safety is a bigger concern, like yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. This is one of those situations. In my mind.

That’s a stupid argument, put out by the NRA. So their people can sell more guns. Just like the ‘good guy with a gun’ theory. Anyone who buys that crap isn’t a critical thinker. We need to get these assault rifles off the street, if you don’t think that’s possible, then you aren’t thinking very hard. We are humans we can do a lot of things when we try.

to bad for you owning firearms for hunting isnt a right that is protected, however owning firearms to be able to overthrow a over reaching goverment is. one could call a goverment that attempts to control which weapons you may or may not own in order to be able to overthrow it , is over reaching.

Well, the govt’s success record with it’s alcohol ban and drug ban is not making me real excited for the upcoming semi-auto rifle ban, but maybe it will work great this time. Hasn’t CA already banned ‘assault weapons’ for some years now, and it’s been kind of a farce? I think I’ll stick with calling for single-payer health care. Another thing that would end a lot of ‘gun violence’ would be to decriminalize addiction.

Its not about hunting, Emily, its about being able to defend against tyranny. Why is that so hard for liberals to understand? Do you know that evil exists in the world? You all say the same thing. “Nobody needs an assault rifle”. You liberals are going to land us all in concentration camps and I’m not going to forget whose fault it was and im not going to share my piece of bread with your starving liberal ass

Every gun can be an assault weapon. Assault weapon is a media term and means nothing.

Yeah Willy but they also robbed an old guy and his daughter, and stole the guys truck, and left him with his medications.. and another few people. Not all big growers. Just people getting out to get their gates.

Screw this guy- I was freaked out every time I had to get out and open my gate in the dark this fall! They were going around jumping out of the bushes with assault rifles and robbing people, not just growers either, when they opened their gates. How fucked up and scary is that to live next to? Glad they got this creep.

Sounds like you’re saying you do know the truth about who was doing that, in which case you should do something about it. If not you’re just as skummy as the shitbags you’re protecting. I hate rats but what I hate even more are low-life thieving parasites, especially ones that threaten lives (hold hostage at gunpoint) in the process. No one should ever have to feel frightened to open their gate to their property because of some piece of shit thief. Fuck this guy and fuck you for defending him.

And exactly what I’m trying to prove to Emily. These guys will always find a way to get weapons like that. But I’m supposed to give mine up!?! Thousands of weapons go missing from our military every year. National Guard “loses” lots. Do you think these military grade weapons fall in the hands of law abiding citizens??? No. Mobsters. Gangbangers, and terrorist groups. No. The military will not amit to this either. Getting all the assault weapons off the streets as you put it is impossible. And they call me ignorant. Lol

There has been at least 7 guns reported stolen in Crescent City in the last few months. Many of them out of vehicles. They are barely catching up on the people who bought guns legally in CA but that actually were banned from buying or owning firearms. It’s doe to around 10,000 now. I think the laws we already have in place should actually be enforced. Which means funding to law enforcement groups and better data bases and systems to cross check potential buyers. After these laws are enforced let’s talk about some more new laws. How great is the new law in Ca that has turned criminal behaviors into a list of whos who of daily book and release, and domestic violence into an unenforceable felony. I have seen numerous assault style rifles confiscated in northern cali traffic stops in last 4 months.
