Wow, thats a list of red herrings right there. And I mean no offense when I say that.



"Plastic guns that can pass through a metal detector?"

Are you aware that theres simply no such thing, anywhere on planet earth, and that the concept originally came from the movie die hard 2?

"Military assault weapons?"

The military doesn't use assault weapons, because they don't fire automatic, or 3 round burst mode. Theyre civilian legal semi automatic weapons (that means hen you pull the trigger it shoots once) in "military clothing" (they LOOK military but function just like any other semi-automatic wapon).

An ASSAULT RIFLE on the other hand, is a fully automatic or burst mode weapon of war.

They are two entirely diffrent things. In spit of looking similar.

I don't mean this negatively, but how did you come to believe there were actually plastic handguns that could make it through a metal detector?

And I have to ask, were you under the impression the "assault weapons" (not assault rifles) were fully automatic? if so, how did you come to believe that?

In closing, you and I are clearly on ...I wont say completely opposite sides of this issue, but close. Yet were having a rational discussion. As rational as can be expected given our positions, our geography (this IS the gungeon after all, home of all the hottest flame wars - or at least the final destination/home of many of them, anyway) ,and the climate re:guns at the moment.

I appreciate that, welcome its continuance, and look forward to your reply.
