[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29477405]I'm all for guns, but no one needs an "assault weapon" and it's inane to think they do. The budget cut wasn't that good and didn't cut defense at all really, tax cuts to the rich aren't a good thing.[/QUOTE] Except it wasn't really reasonable. There's a video of the dumb white blonde (IIRC) female senator talking about barrel shrouds (with no idea what they are, or what they do).

[editline]28th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Megafanx13;29473795]I wouldn't call that an aspect of the "world being a better place". Sure it was good that the puppet states of the Soviet Union were free, but I wouldn't describe that as the fall of Communism, merely the fall of the USSR. Americans for the most part are just as afraid of Communism as they were in the 50s, just there are more people willing to accept it as a legitimate ideology, and things that were done during McCarthy's time aren't okay anymore.[/QUOTE] Well, stalinism, but it's not like anyone ever differentiates between the two.

[QUOTE=Géza!;29471507]The Republican party was representing the Union in the American civil war, while the Democratic party was founded in the Confederate states. I sense a deep, underlying irony somewhere in this fact.[/QUOTE] It's possible to be a conservative democrat and a liberal republican.
"a semi automatic AK-47 is in no way dangerous." I can't take you seriously. Holy shit that is one of the most retarded things I have ever heard. Jesus, I met a guy who claimed all Doctors should be hanged because they're useless and do nothing, but damn, that just oversteps it. Detachable magazines have high firing rates. So yes, it is a factor in assault weapons. No one has given a remotely good answer.
a magazine has no fire rate a persons finger does. magazines that can be attached to the pistol grip? so fucking what people can reload in under 2 seconds with mags kept on their belt. should we ban belts that hold magazines too? [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] Lol do you know what a barrel shroud is, amute? [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] daw sanius, cant think of a good argument? i have work to do, think up some more funny shit, ill enjoy reading it when i return
I think a more appropriate way of stating that is "A semi-automatic AK-style rifle, in the hands of the law abiding citizen who would follow laws such as the AWB, is no more dangerous than many other weapons allowed by the AWB". Inconsistent and silly law by people who don't understand weapons.

[editline]28th April 2011[/editline] I can't get over how fucking stupid this is: "a semi automatic AK-47 is in no way dangerous." That's like me saying getting hit by a truck is only moderately harmful.
So anyway, whats a barrel shroud amute, is it the shoulder thing that folds up? thats the general liberal consensus on it.
Do you actually have a point or no?
I don't know what you are talking about in your first point? Weapons, as in firearms? Weapons against, you know, the usual targets, humans? I refer you to the barrel shroud nonsense. A semi-automatic AK-47 is in no way more dangerous than other legal firearms (and arguably more dangerous than a fully-automatic AK-47 variant). The law should be consistent. [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] In addition, law aimed at preventing crime should be based on evidence, rather than rhetoric.
[QUOTE=amute;29493427]Do you actually have a point or no?[/QUOTE] my point is you have no idea what you are talking about :v:

[QUOTE=c0nk3r;29493401]So anyway, whats a barrel shroud amute, is it the shoulder thing that folds up? thats the general liberal consensus on it.[/QUOTE] I know what a barrel shroud is. I don't think that deserves a ban as it makes almost no real difference on the weapon. Now, beyond that, your argument is what exactly? That guns don't kill people? Right, people kill people and banning guns in the US is impossible and nobody has offered that as a valid option. Gun regulation on the other hand isn't a bad thing. What legislation is on hand right now does suck, you're right. But that doesn't mean knowing what a barrel shroud does fuck all for this argument of yours.
I didnt say guns dont kill people, i was saying that banning semi autos is fucking stupid If someone walked into an area with fully automatic weapons hed be able to do more damage than with a semi auto. [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] the "guns dont kill people" argument is dumb and is not at all what i was saying. [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] oh also, considering buying "Detachable magazines have high firing rates. So yes, it is a factor in assault weapons." as my title if it fits :v:
a semi automatic AK-47 is in no way dangerous. it's just fucking healthy, right? [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] You are seriously overly arrogant for absolutely nothing. It's pretty pathetic watching you.
[QUOTE=c0nk3r;29497097]I didnt say guns dont kill people, i was saying that banning semi autos is fucking stupid If someone walked into an area with fully automatic weapons hed be able to do more damage than with a semi auto.[/QUOTE] A semi-automatic rifle would be more dangerous then a full auto in some cases. Taking accurate shots on full-auto is difficult. Either way, they're really dangerous.
