As you probably know, in the Wild West of the 1800's, the gun laws were stricter than today. Akamai Jul 2016 #37

As long as you pass the background checks Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #7

I doubt this is an "assault rifle" (capable of full-auto fire). Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #8

Semi-auto still counts as an assault weapon. Same ammo, same destructive capacity. KeepItReal Jul 2016 #14

Call it an "assault weapon" if style is a concern, but it is not an Assault Rifle. Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #21

Heh. I don't know how "safe" the definition was, since millions were sold nevertheless. Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #33

Why are you hung up on the term "Rifle"? ET Awful Jul 2016 #47

Those two words make a legal definition Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #53

Please show me the law that says that. n/t ET Awful Jul 2016 #55

Your next to last sentence fails logic completely. Now to the main point... Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #59

Well then please call it that Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #28

I never called *anything* a "fully automatic" weapon KeepItReal Jul 2016 #43

You did when you called it an assault "rifle" Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #44

Since you are worried about people being confused KeepItReal Jul 2016 #45

People that tend to know firearms know the difference Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #50

Part of the NRA calculus has always been *who* has the guns. DirkGently Jul 2016 #6

You have fantasies about "airtight gun regulations." Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #10

The fantasy is the one the NRA is selling. DirkGently Jul 2016 #13

Anyone who is not a convicted criminal or adjudicated mental incompetent can get a gun... Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #22

The guns-as-political power faction is largely one demographic: DirkGently Jul 2016 #39

Though your first sentence is still fanciful, wouldn't it be nice? Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #40

Guns-as-political power is a white RW fantasy. DirkGently Jul 2016 #41

That is a curious fantasy... Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #23
