Yeah, he was huge. Notice that's a full-size pickup, not a Ranger or S-10.

He's a belt, a hatband & most of a pair of boots now.

Actually, I can & will say that as I actually own a Bushmaster Carbon-15 & know that it is mechanically no different than any other .223 caliber hunting rifle.

Now, it's your turn. What defines an "assault" rifle?

AGAIN DONT GIVE ONE FUCK any gun can be used for assault. even a fucking bb gun.

You use semantic word games to avoid doing shit about our epidemic because big bad daddy goverment wants seat belts and speed limits.

I don't give a fuck if you want to call a Bushmaster a water gun or pee shooter, it still kills and so does any gun.

"It is the same as any rifle, therefore we shouldn't do shit about the amount of gun deaths in America". Pathetic logic.

Rat poison isn't made of bleach either but that doesn't mean we should treat it like water. Guns are sold like candy in this country and people treat them like they are nothing and 32 people A DAY 365 DAYS A YEAR die and in the next 24 hours 32 more people will die because of use of a gun.

More like someone lied to you & you believed it. Suicide is the leading cause of death for males age 20-45 in Japan.

And I'm sorry children, but I need firearms, I have shit like this:



And this:



In my backyard. Also, animal control doesn't come out my way. So banning "assault" rifles, which is simply a buzzword for hunting rifles since they are the same caliber & shoot just as fast, is simply not going to fly with people like myself. Nor is it going to fly with the ~30-40 million hunting enthusiasts that actually know what an "assault" rifle is. Note: I don't actually hunt, but when near-record timber rattlesnakes (seriously, that guy was 6" short of the US record) come into my yard where my kids play, then I need to remove them safely & quickly.

Real assault rifles (il.e. machine guns) have been heavily restricted since 1934.

Whoa! I think you're gonna need a bigger gun!....But here's something that's perfect for snakes and home defense...The Taurus Judge! This five shot revolver weighs somewhere around three pounds and shoots both 4.10 shot gun shells and 45 caliber ammo...this mug is perfect and maneuverable for clearing out narrow hallways of home intruders...There's also a lot of ammo that has been produced especially for this HOME DEFENSE TOOL...One shell that has been developed for this pistol contains both shot and three 32 caliber slugs...This is one real nice HOME DEFENSE TOOL!

Your histrionics are totally wasted on me kid.

For both of those things you need a katana not a gun.

Nah, I've already got a .38 & a .45, not really a huge fan of pistols & revolvers anyhow. Those Judge's are pretty nifty gear though.

Great idea. I'd pay to watch someone jump on a pissed off 13' bull alligator with a sword.

Just sign this here waiver.

Pfft. The really, really cool members of the AF already know what I look like

It's pretty much the opposite of that.

This dude is hot. I don't know what any of you are talking about.

I find that pretty damn ironic considering people are now playing the 'look how awesome my gun is' game.

Who both made that accusation and then played said game?

Let's be realistic: the second amendment is going to do jack shit against a government determined to grind you down. What good is your handcannon going to be when the enemy has drones, spy satellites, and can monitor all your communications--programs which were championed by guys in government who seem totally okay with the amendment?

Doesn't it seem like both ends are being played by the same people?

In a practical sense, the second amendment is entirely pointless as its intended purpose is obsolete.
