Look, I'm not for assault weapons; I'm against them.

Heck, I don't even own any guns. Not even a slingshot.

I just think this line of argument is unsound and leads nowhere.

Previously debunked...and you participated in that thread ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #1

It's not debunked because you say it is, it fires as fast as machine gun! MightyMopar Jan 2013 #2

Well, What Do You Expect Of The Progressive Media, Mr. "Progressive"? Paladin Jan 2013 #33

I expect accuracy from the media on technical matters. I am oft disappointed, regardless of ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #40

Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns? Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #3

900 rounds per minute equals 15 rounds per second. That better? Scuba Jan 2013 #9

Not better, not worse. The same. Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #10

So if the headline read "This Simple, Legal Add-On Lets an AR-15 Rifle Fire 15 Rounds er Second" .. Scuba Jan 2013 #11

The same; there is a limit to how much weight a mass murderer can carry arround. Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #13

And the less ammo he has, the fewer people he can kill. I like my logic lesson better than yours. Scuba Jan 2013 #15

He can carry the same ammo, just shoot slower and aim better. Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #17

You can do far more damage with ricin Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #24

And ricin is just as easily procurable as ammo. What a silly comparison. EOTE Jan 2013 #51

Ricin is not procurable; it is synthesizable Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #56

Any idiot can get a shit load of ammo. EOTE Jan 2013 #57

Once again, a very foolish argument. EOTE Jan 2013 #64

Is bump-firing used in many murders? cthulu2016 Jan 2013 #7

If it's legal to pack a 900-rounds-per-minute assault weapon on one's hip, great comfort can be indepat Jan 2013 #8

Has anyone fired 900 rounds in a minute using this technique? cthulu2016 Jan 2013 #16

The rate of fire cannot be maintained for the full minute ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #20

No, but you can dump a 100 round mag in about seven seconds. RomneyLies Jan 2013 #32

Why does the USMC preach semi-only then? sir pball Jan 2013 #58

You get far more contro with a slide stock and semi-automatic RomneyLies Jan 2013 #59

Huh sir pball Jan 2013 #60

I'd never fire off 20 rounds in one go RomneyLies Jan 2013 #61

I did, once sir pball Jan 2013 #62

Those 100 round mags are not reliable. More likely to jam prior to any melt down ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #36

So what did the ATF say about the slide fire? ileus Jan 2013 #25

100% legal as the weapon is still semi-automatic RomneyLies Jan 2013 #35

I'd think with most cheap AR's this would just make a jam-o-matic. ileus Jan 2013 #39
