Signed with love-
Many Democrats and anti-gun folks

How many times on this very board have we been told: ‘Your AR won’t mean anything against the US military’

I'm not in anyways against AR-15s, but isn't the AR-15 platform the standard issue rifle for the US military?

AR-15 is a semi-auto rifle not used by the military

The M4, M16 looks almost identical but is capable of full auto and burst fire

Then reckon why we even bother outfitting the infantry? We could just give them a bayonet and a couple of grenades right?

Police are lazy, corrupt, dog-killing, racist, runaway-slave catcher-descendant, minority-assassinating fascists, but only police should have guns.

Stop expecting intellectual honesty or narrative consistency with progressives. You won’t find any, they don’t care, and neither should you. It’s not about making the best argument or pushing for the best policy. It’s about tricking voters into supporting creeping authoritarian communism until they don’t have to even bother with pretending to ask for our opinions.

Other weapons of war:

- Pistols
- Bolt Action Rifles
- Shotguns
- Bayonets/knives
- Lever action rifles

Everything is a weapon of war. People who think otherwise don't know shite about shite.

The rifle platform is the AR-15 which was made by Eugene Stoner in the 1960s. The fully automatic military version is the M16. I'm saying that the civilian AR-15 and military M16 are both on the AR-15 platform.

ETA: Several hunting rifles are "weapons of war" because of their use by marksmen. I'm pointing out the stupidity of the "weapons of war" argument because its subjective.

no, one is capable of full auto or burst fire and is therefore an assault rifle. one is functionally identical to every other non 'weapon of war' semi auto rifle in existence, which requires a made up term assault weapon to make it super scary in the minds of stupid people that have no knowledge of firearms, but who of course should be setting firearm policy.

And those are just current "weapons of war". Basically any firearm or sharp object was, at some point, a "weapon of war".

“War” hammers kill more people every year than long rifles... a 10 year old can walk into Walmart and buy a war hammer off the shelf no questions asked... yet.... no one wants to ban war hammers

Such a silly,silly argument.

What exactly are these idiots gonna do when society completely breaks down and there are no police or even the National Guard or military. (see LA riots)

What are they gonna do when an Iranian backed terrorist explodes a nuclear device in some large Urban area and all hell breaks loose?

shite, in medieval times, women used to pour cauldrons of boiling liquid on those who tried to scale the walls of cities and attack.

Pots and pans are freaking weapons of war.

Did anyone watch "Tangled?"

In no way do I want them banned or anything but this statement is not true. A semi-auto rifle is still a useful tool in trained hands.

If trump ever put you in a camp, you’d be educated on things like this.
