just 3 round burst

My “assault rifles” can’t do that with the single pull of the trigger. But they’re the same anyway right?

The lower receiver of a commercially available ar-15 has a shelf left in it so a full auto fire control group will not work....

First, your definition of assault rifle is what you're learning as a Main stream media sheep and liberal patsy.

Secondly by your definition, my Marlin Model 60 .22 is an assault weapon. I'd bet several hundred thousand people would disagree with you and the liberal media's point of view on that.

Please educate yourself before speaking on this matter.

Yes, this is current law in the State of Louisiana. Has this reduced crime? No. Has Police Chief Micheal Harrison complained that all the gangs he's dealing with are under-aged to buy those pistols? No.

So, how will raising the age to by semi-automatic rifles reduce crime when raising the age to buy pistols has not?

Thats not always true, they are however missing a pin hole in the receiver, but plenty of commercially available receivers are "low shelf".

Yeah, I don't think that $600 S&W modern sporting rifle sold at academy has very many Mil-spec parts on it. Actually, I'm pretty sure most of the modern sporting rifles sold aren't completely Mil-spec. The closest you might get is a Colt.

This x1000. The politicians in the country are so fricked. They let the liberal media drive all their decisions. If they really want to stop kids getting senselessly killed they need to find a way to put a stop to texting and driving.

No joke mil spec accuracy standards are laughable compared to what the civilian market demands from a target rifle

Yes I realize that. I was pointing out the Mil-spec aspect to the poster who was saying the army's colt M4 is the same gun as the gun you can buy at academy.

My MSR has very few Mil-spec parts. The rest are upgrades. CFH barrel, 2-stage trigger, adj. gas block, free floated barrel, etc.

I just meant the ar15 sold at academy are the style and platform used by military. AR, AK, SKS’s, any gun with a high capacity quick release detachable mag is an assualt rifle. That’s what they were designed for. “Modern day sporting rifle” is lawyer terminology for assualt rifle. They didn’t make collapsible stocks and short barrels to make sport shooting more fun, it is for a lower profile while slicing the pie and turkey peeking corners, a tactical advantage. The rate of fire whether semi, 3 round, or full doesn’t change its designs intended use.

Wrong again. Assault rifles, by definition are select-fire. No civilan intended AR-15s or the like are assault rifles.

No, it's a technically accurate descriptor. They aren't assault rifles which have a definitive technical term. You are technically uneducated, go find another thread to pollute.
