[QUOTE=BFG9000;38903094]Ok. but then WHY DO PEOPLE CALL SEMI AUTOMATICS "ASSAULT RIFLES"?!?!?![/QUOTE] Sensationalism.
[QUOTE=Kartoffel;38903106]Actually, a Gatling gun counts as semi-automatic. You can get one of those, and it would count as neither an assault weapon nor an assault rifle. :smile:[/QUOTE] that's true, but they're crank operated and I don't like cranks
[QUOTE=Kartoffel;38903106]Actually, a Gatling gun counts as semi-automatic. You can get one of those, and it would count as neither an assault weapon nor an assault rifle. :smile:[/QUOTE] If that's true, does that make externally powered chain-guns legal too?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38903114]that's true, but they're crank operated and I don't like cranks[/QUOTE] Potentially, you could rig a motor to crank it for you. :v:
Buttsex, Gatling guns can be externally powered too, you know.
I wonder if I could get a gatling gun and attach a motor to it so I don't have to turn the crank, I just press a button and it works [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] wow I got ninjad hard
[QUOTE=Apache249;38903118]If that's true, does that make externally powered chain-guns legal too?[/QUOTE] Not sure I'd like to look more into this
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38903107]no; we just didn't appreciate how master raceish he was being. He was about above par to an elitist PC gamer. *OFUCK HERE COME THE DISAGREES* [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] wait WHAT SJd;faewjiwfj;awfjewjfawiuefjawkdfj;cfjiodmaciwd;iofja;w,dkfjx;aewj WHAT Is there a mass produced one that fires .22s or some shit that we can actually get?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure you can get them in larger calibers than that. They even sell one on Cabela's from what I understand.
lets uhh ban all the weapons whose only utility is to quickly end many human lives and uhhh not give a shit about what theyre called?
what I'm wondering though is if the atf would see the button to turn it as the trigger instead of the crank sort of like how they think a 14 inch shoelace with loops on both ends is a machine gun
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;38903052]That and none of you respected his opinions either. Again, hypocrites?[/QUOTE] He was being disrespectful from the onset, respect is something earned, not granted. His arguments were baseless, rooted purely in opinion, and his statements were sweepingly insulting to all of us. If someone calls you a murderer for no justified reason, are you going to be willing to take them very seriously? How about when they blatantly disregard and scoff at your argument, trying to insist they claimed a "victory" due to a single study they posted, later refuted and ignored? This kind of thing is not a one-way street, if a person is willing to be respectful in their disagreement of gun ownership I can be respectful in my rebuttal, but when the argument starts off with "Why should people own killing machines, they must all be psychos," that's a level of disrespect from them off the bat.

"He doesn't like guns, quick, shit on him". Again, I missed out so I'm only reporting on what I'm reading [QUOTE=Kartoffel;38903098]Now I'm curious, what country are you from? :v:[/QUOTE] Canada :D Secret secret, Paul McCartney is actually Canadian, but when he died in the carcrash they replaced him with a brit so they could knight him
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;38903132]lets uhh ban all the weapons whose only utility is to quickly end many human lives and uhhh not give a shit about what theyre called?[/QUOTE] Oh cool, you again just reiterating your nonsense point.

You guys didn't treat him with respect from the get-go, I'm not surprised all this happened.
[QUOTE=Apache249;38903118]If that's true, does that make externally powered chain-guns legal too?[/QUOTE] There are some miniguns that can be purchased legally because they were made pre-ban, yes.

[I]Love and peace, guys. Let's all smoke a joint and stop the killing[/I]
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;38903132]lets uhh ban all the weapons whose only utility is to quickly end many human lives and uhhh not give a shit about what theyre called?[/QUOTE] said no informed person in history
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;38903132]lets uhh ban all the weapons whose only utility is to quickly end many human lives and uhhh not give a shit about what theyre called?[/QUOTE] Lets uhh ponder about how the government is going to pull that off? They have to have an official classification for EVERYTHING goddamnit also, I don't know about you but I wouldn't get a gatling gun for killing people, but just for shits and giggles. And how are you going to use one in a mass shooting anyways? >Set up mount >attach gun to mount >Prepare hand crank Okay you guys I'm ready to end your lives miserably >Everyone's already run away
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;38903139]Canada :D Secret secret, Paul McCartney is actually Canadian, but when he died in the carcrash they replaced him with a brit so they could knight him[/QUOTE] Okay, I figured either that or Britain.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38903152]in the beginning he literally called every single one of us murderers, we were civil at first but after a while were pretty fed up with his shit so the posts got more and more aggressive[/QUOTE] I hope you don't think his generalizations were from the heart :v: I know the kid, he's just playing with examples that he doesn't explain, and expects you to all understand his reasoning
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;38903165]he's just playing with examples that he doesn't explain, and expects you to all understand his reasoning[/QUOTE] so I was absolutely right in calling him autistic
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;38903165]I hope you don't think his generalizations were from the heart :v: I know the kid, he's just playing with examples that he doesn't explain, and expects you to all understand his reasoning[/QUOTE] Specifically why we didn't. This is the internet, not face to face conversations where these subtle things can be picked up upon with less difficulty. :v:

I'm with him in that we should watch who we sell guns to more closely, but banning them all together is a bit much. I'm in the market for an Ubitex Schofield Model 3, the 5", but I need to take my restricted-weapon's test to get it. At least up here it's sort of okay, guns are quite hard to "come by" unless you know where to get them
[QUOTE=Aman VII;38903147]Oh cool, you again just reiterating your nonsense point.[/QUOTE] "lets ban implements of mass murder, whatever they are" seems pretty sensible to me. like what is and isnt an implement of mass murder is definitely up for debate but arguing against the definition of one sort of implement based on really pedantic hair-splitting seems sort of less sensible??
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38903174]Again, I'd like to point out that while I could have been more proactive than reactive about the master raceish posts you have to understand that it was probably done in response Hell, I don't even remember making a master race post[/QUOTE] Neither did he, he just really doesn't like gun violence. He's a huge hippie, guys, cut him some slack :v:
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38903159]Lets uhh ponder about how the government is going to pull that off? They have to have an official classification for EVERYTHING goddamnit[/QUOTE] with like hard work and serious thought which is i know anathema to all of the 'there are already too many guns in america to do anything' arguments that people love to make like we have to fix this shit eventually
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;38903183]Neither did he, he just really doesn't like gun violence. He's a huge hippie, guys, cut him some slack :v:[/QUOTE] kfinejeez SigmaLambda, did you read my earlier post? gatling guns are impractical for mass shootings.
