[quote]And there are plenty of semi-autos that are blowback and recoil-operated, including the CETME, G3, and their variants.[/quote] The Ma Deuce is recoil operated too. I would be happy to have one of those if they take away the AR-15 (although the cost of ammo would be a bitch)....

Beeville was pretty grim, you dodged a bullet. We made up a song about it: "Goin' out the gate, sayin' bye to those you hate. With Beeville in your rear view mirror."...

However, other evidence, such ...
