Hey, it's a week later and we haven't forgotten, gunhadists.

[onehandle]

We're gonna put some hurt on assault weapons of massacre destruction.

[a geek named Bob]

1. I like the term...

but what's the definition of an Assault weapon?

[onehandle]

2. That's pre-12/14 thinking.

That deflection doesn't matter anymore.

[a geek named Bob]

3. okay... You lost me... I'll admit that I'm confused...

first of all, I like the term "gunhadist..."

second, until we can determine what an "Assault weapon" is, we can't really make laws to regulate them...

Look, things are going to be defined by the background. At one point, the katana I have would be defined as a "battle weapon." Today, I might get a pass during a conflict while both sides were laughing.

Personally, I can't think of any reason to have a 30+ round magazine.

Mind you, a good 3D printer can make all the parts for a firearm... just depends on the plastics/resins that you use...

6. No More Vocabulary Control By Gun Militants.

Wayne LaPierre and Ted Nugent shouln't have the final word, anymore.....

[a geek named Bob]

7. I didn't know I could play guitar that well...

[jpak]

8. The AR15 used to kill those kids is an assault weapon - go argue that with the parents

massacre apologist fail.

yup

[a geek named Bob]

10. okay... so you've given me an example... and I agree with you...

personally, I think we ought to restrict extended magazines to police and military only.

Also, I'm for committing the violent crazies.

THAT would stop the massacres.

[Hoyt]

4. God, I hate that obfuscation. All of us know what they are, if the damn gun cultists didn't push

the envelop in their quest for ever more lethal weapons, we wouldn't have to go through this crap time after time.

So, let's just keep it simple and ban all semi-automatic weapons, period. The gun cultists should be able to understand that.


While we are at it, let's end "stand your ground laws" because the gun carriers don't seem to understand that either.

[a geek named Bob]

5. no... "all of us" don't know...

that's an appeal to gallery fallacy.

would that ban a handgun for home defense?

[jpak]

9. semi-auto handguns

yup

[a geek named Bob]

11. so...

Is a revolver allowed for home defense, in your vision?

[jpak]

12. With a cylinder of 6 rounds max - yes

and that goes for rifles and shotguns too.

yup

[a geek named Bob]

13. okay...

would there be a restriction on the number of revolvers in a house?

remember, if the usual hit rate is one out of six, then you need a full revolver for 1 bad guy.

if a group goes house hunting, then you'd need one revolver per bad guy.

(and no, I spare NO sympathy for a home intruder. They know the risks...)

[jpak]

14. As long as they were all registered with the BATFE and subject to private sale background checks

with a permanent searchable database of ownership.

and a reapeal of gun liabliity laws...

You can keep all the loaded revolvers around your kids that you want.

yup

[a geek named Bob]

15. then we've got no problems.

Mind you, ALL of this can be defeated by a good machinist...

[jpak]

16. Then the machinist and the customer can be charged with a felony and fined - massively

and have their guns confiiscated - for life,

a fate worse than death for a Gun Nut.

yup

[a geek named Bob]

17. That's if you can catch them...

Not everybody will INVITE LEOs into their shop. (I do, but I'm PROUD of my shop. That, and the ATFE has the best coffee and danishes...)
