Glocks and Duckfaces: Americans flaunt their new firearms on Instagram and Twitter. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;38985808]Assault weapons are not full auto ffs, full auto have been banned for a long time now[/QUOTE] Not truly banned, but restricted to hell and back.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;38985788]Yes you need steam games to recreate, normal games like Jenga and Monopoly will not allow you to recreate after a hard day in the office. Gotta play some Killing Floor in a few minutes to relax.[/QUOTE] Maybe we could stay with argueing about the issue at hand, not about somewhat similar matters? Maybe we could stay with arguments about the thingies people point at people to make them dead people? I know Jenga kills too somehow and somewhere and we could argue about that but maybe we could talk about automatic rifles like we are supposed to.

The issue isn't about automatic rifles. The issue is about banning semiautomatic rifles because they look scary

[QUOTE=CommunistCookie;38985806]You know what? Why do they even need pistols? Why don't we give them nerf guns instead? Again, talking about a hobby you don't understand.[/QUOTE] Nerf guns shoot different stuff, that's totally a different thing, I'd hate to watch Biathlon with Nerf guns.

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;38985795]a sport car's purpose is speed /break the law / cause needless deaths / run from the police [/QUOTE] It wasn't invented to break the law, cause needless deaths and run from the police. It can be used to do this, that I can agree on, but it's not what it was made for. A weapon is a tool made to kill people / hurt people, now that's another story, treating such a deadly object as any other product you could buy on your nearest retailer is a terrible idea to begin with.

Its like you have done literally zero looking into this

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985825]I know Jenga kills too somehow and somewhere and we could argue about that but maybe we could talk about automatic rifles like we are supposed to.[/QUOTE] Sorry if it's hard for you to use google, but those scary "automatic" rifles are [U][I]semi[/I][/U]-automatic, meaning that the trigger has to be pulled consecutively for each time to be fired.

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;38985841]We aren't even talking about automatic rifles. The issue isn't about automatic rifles. The issue is about banning semiautomatic rifles because they look scary[/QUOTE] I think I and you, we both know that modifying semiautomatic to automatic is a 10 minute job for many many semi-auto rifles.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985825]Maybe we could stay with argueing about the issue at hand, not about somewhat similar matters?[/quote] if thats the case, why are you talking about gun control when the issue is mental health? [quote] Maybe we could stay with arguments about the thingies people point at people to make them dead people?[/quote] like sports cars? [QUOTE]but maybe we could talk about automatic rifles like we are supposed to.[/QUOTE] please stop

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985793]Please enlighten me how a full-auto assault is better for "recreation" and sport than a sport rifle I really wanna learn.[/QUOTE] because no one is talking about banning full-auto assault rifles or assault rifles period. NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS. full auto guns have been restricted since the early half of the 20th century. people are talking about banning hunting rifles with fancy names and magazines. guns that are hardly used in gun crime in the first place. handguns are WAY more dangerous from a simple fucking cursory glance at gun crime statistics, yet everyone is saying assault weapons(NOT ASSAULT RIFLES WHICH ARE ALREADY RESTRICTED) are the problem.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985859]I think I and you, we both know that modifying semiautomatic to automatic is a 10 minute job for many many semi-auto rifles.[/QUOTE] Oh my god. Source this, please, aside from the Mac-10s that were dumped from the Armories back in the 80s.

[QUOTE=nick_9_8;38985399]In Australia, all guns are illegial, so could someone explain to me the logical reasons of owning an assault rifle? Because frankly, I don't see the point. If you reallllly wanted defense wouldn't you buy a pistol? Why would you need a gun that shoots 40 bullets in one mag...[/QUOTE] Except, not all guns are illegal. Seriously research your shit before you come to conclusions.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985713]Point being: These arguments look really artificial and made up to non-gun-nuts.[/QUOTE] Then you are ignorant about material that you are pretending to discuss, and have strong opinions about. Simple as that.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;38985867]Oh my god. Source this, please, aside from the Mac-10s that were dumped from the Armories back in the 80s.[/QUOTE] Which, funny enough, the Mac-10 isn't considered an assault weapon.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985843]Nerf guns shoot different stuff, that's totally a different thing, I'd hate to watch Biathlon with Nerf guns.[/QUOTE] That's not the point. It's that you don't seem to see the fault in saying "people don't [i]need[/i] assault rifles to recreate".

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985859]I think I and you, we both know that modifying semiautomatic to automatic is a 10 minute job for many many semi-auto rifles.[/QUOTE] you can modify a cell phone into a fucking bomb detonator. you can modify household chemicals into methamphetamine easy as fucking pie. where are you calling for the ban of these things? who needs sudafed and cell phones anyways? they are just fucking luxuries.

[QUOTE=TankMan;38985689]Sobotnik stop posting in every thread with the word gun in it.[/QUOTE] Not until everybody in the firearms thread does.

[QUOTE=soulharvester;38985426]Because the term "Assault rifle" is a very loose definition and the weapons they cover aren't even usually used in many of the mass shootings.[/QUOTE] assault rifle: 1. a military rifle capable of both automatic and semiautomatic fire, utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge. Assault rifles are almost universally banned in the U.S. other than for the police and military. I believe the term you are looking for is "assault weapon", a made up word with no definition.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985919]"xxxxx (insert gun model here) Automatic Conversion" in google. Seriously, I know nothing about guns and YOU are asking ME to source that?[/QUOTE] [quote=One of the sources]Uh, actually doing this would be very illegal, you'd probably go to jail for life if someone found out don't do this[/quote] [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] Also, full-auto isn't something that you easily hide.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985919]"xxxxx (insert gun model here) Automatic Conversion" in google. Seriously, I know nothing about guns and YOU are asking ME to source that?[/QUOTE] give some fucking examples because most guns are incredibly hard to convert to full auto and even if you can these guns are often incredibly dangerous to use.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;38985492]Not even one post in and someone is talking out of their ass about a hobby they don't understand. First off, not all guns in Australia are illegal. Many are banned, but it's not impossible to legally own a firearm there. Second off, you can't just walk into a walmart and buy an assault rifle. To do that you'd have to get a class 3 permit, which takes tons of cash and paperwork through the ATF to get one, even then fully automatic weapons in the US (legal ones at least) cost 10's of thousands of dollars, it's not easy to get one. AR-15's and AK are not assault rifles, they're just rifles chambered in an intermediate caliber. Owning a firearm isn't just about home defense or hunting. Target shooting and collecting are 2 very common hobbies in the US. Target shooting with an AR-15 or an AK rifle is a very fun and inexpensive hobby, and it's also a safe one if you practice proper safety.[/QUOTE] I prefer .22s. So damn accurate and only $15 for a box of 550. Perfect way to have fun for cheap.

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;38985808]Assault weapons are not full auto ffs, full auto have been banned for a long time now[/QUOTE] Actually assault weapons are full auto, or burst fire. Point is if you're going to [i]accurately[/i] use the description "assault weapon" or "assault rifle," it has to be select fire. Safe Semi Full, Safe Semi Burst Full, or Safe Semi Burst. A semi only AR-15 is not an assault weapon. Period. "Assault weapon" is a term the media likes to throw around a lot because it sounds frightening and dangerous and will be more of an attention grabber, when in reality they don't know what they're talking about. Ever since the shooting in Connecticut this term has been thrown around more times than I care to count, and probably used correctly only a handful of times. Knew I'd get ninja'd but fuck it, I'm tired of people getting it wrong.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;38985944]give some fucking examples because most guns are incredibly hard to convert to full auto and even if you can these guns are often incredibly dangerous to use.[/QUOTE] Some people who have converted their ~aykayforteesevuhns~ to full-auto have also had the bolt in their gun snap or even explode in their hands.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;38985936][editline]26th December 2012[/editline] Also, full-auto isn't something that you easily hide.[/QUOTE] Oh, so suddenly the whole "illegal" side of it is more important than "source it". Informative, why didn't you ask for that in the first place? Did you need the source to tell you or what?

[QUOTE=Killuah;38985935]One is made to insert metal objects into stuff at high velocity and the other isn't, why are you asking me for basic stuff just for the sake of the argument.[/QUOTE] like a sports car lol
