Indisputable.Everyone who can read knows you are wrong.

Not one.

Joe Blow is an idiot. "Weapons of war," are not available to the general public, except for certain 9mm handguns that are often carried as officer's sidearms and some of the combat knives that are sometimes used by soldiers. As for the standard automatic rifle carried by infantry, they're not available to the public.
But in this day and age "weapons of war" would mean drones and long range missiles as that's what's usually used in war. If you get close enough to the enemy so that you can shoot them, you're not doing it right.
And the AWB did nothing to stop shootings in the USA.
my favorite is thisLet's put the Democrats brain dead messaging in perspective...
Stupid Democrats:
1) Owning a rifle to protect you from the Government is dumb because the Government has F-15s, Tanks and nukes!
Also stupid Democrats...
2) A few hundred people nearly overthrew the government with bear spray and zip ties!
It would be funny if Democrats idiocy wasn't so dangerous.
My paraphrase of this is "if it's dangerous enough to need more gun control it's dangerous enough to carry a gun".my favorite is this
Anti Gun Democrats-crime and mass shootings are so prevalent, 100 million honest gun owners must have their rights ransacked to make society safer BUT
you are paranoid if you own a gun for home defense or carry one concealed since the chance of needing one is one in a billion
A "sniper rifle" is any kind of rifle that fires a caliber that's good for long range and precision, such as 7.62x51mm, that's fitted with a scope. It can be bolt action or semi auto and it doesn't necessarily have to be a "sniper rifle" depending on how its used. Certain hunting rifles, when fitted with scopes and used to shoot people from a distance, can be called "sniper rifles" when used as such. Thus I don't like the term "sniper rifle," its just another term such as the term "assault weapon" which implies that the gun is always going to be used in a certain way that's harmful to the general public, another tactic of the gun control crowd.So you're saying that the general public can't buy sniper rifles or machine guns ?
Please define your idea of "sniper rifle".So you're saying that the general public can't buy sniper rifles or machine guns ?
Yeah it'll be challenged in the judicial branch and probably get slapped down.Everything in our Constitution is subject to interpretation.
I have this Remington 700 bolt action rifle. It's a hunting rifle. With a pretty decent scope. It could certainly be used as a sniper rifle. 30.06 has plenty of down range power.Please define your idea of "sniper rifle".
Sniping is an action, not a tool. Revolutionary was snipers used muzzle loading rifles to snipe.I have this Remington 700 bolt action rifle. It's a hunting rifle. With a pretty decent scope. It could certainly be used as a sniper rifle. 30.06 has plenty of down range power.
Hunting effectively is sniping if you're using a rifle.
You do not need a class 3 license to buy a machine gun or any other NFA weapon. You just need to register it and pay the taxes. Class 3 is for dealers.As for machine guns, they can be bought but only with a class III firearms permit and only if they've been manufactured in 1986 or earlier, so a more modern machine gun is not available to the general public.
I have a muzzle loader that could be used to snipe as well. Forgot about that. I'm better with that one with the right ammo than I am with the bolt action. Just no scope.Sniping is an action, not a tool. Revolutionary was snipers used muzzle loading rifles to snipe.
Poor rich in denial of history.Really?
Then would you mind providing a quote mentioning "British Isles" ?
Not that it's important in determining the correct names from countries and organizations prior and post 1707....in the same way that it's not important that Mexico is part of North America when describing the Mexican Army
Because you've "proven" nothing
There was never a mention of "British Isles" in ancient Greece or Roman times...
And even if there was, it's completely irrelevant to the proper names from the people of what's now England, Scotland and Ireland or the proper names of their armies etc
All you're doing is demonstrating your ignorance and providing amusement that's increasingly becoming less endearing
France has never referred to "Great Britain", in reference to any country, before 1707
No it wasn't (not in reference to any country). In the same way that "America" doesn't refer to Greenland or Mexico, in any political context, even though they're both in North America
PS: Have you now given up on trying to prove that Romania was once part of the USSR ?
You need a better bolt actionI have a muzzle loader that could be used to snipe as well. Forgot about that. I'm better with that one with the right ammo than I am with the bolt action. Just no scope.
The only issue they had was heavy ammo, due to the limited expansion of black powder, ie lighter rounds would get no extra velocity past a certain point but heavy rounds had minimal loss, so they sided with heavy rounds more often than not until smokeless powder.I have a muzzle loader that could be used to snipe as well.

Those old rifles were not a joke, The army did a test with the trapdoor rifle, basically an updated mod of the springfield musket, they found 2-3 miles was not only lethal, but a skilled shooter could hit their mark that far away, yes it required some heavy math like calculating artillery, but it shown even the ancient 45-70 in 405 grain blackpowder could be effective at sniping and it's limitation was the shooter and not the round.You need a better bolt action
More than anything I need more practice, and more patience.You need a better bolt action
I need to shoot up the factory 6.5 Grendel so I can start loading specifically for my gun.More than anything I need more practice, and more patience.
The 50 count muzzleloader was fun to play with but you have to take a lot more time between shots.
Sounds like a fun choreI need to shoot up the factory 6.5 Grendel so I can start loading specifically for my gun.
Its almost sad how badly Rich is getting beaten and yet can't even realize it. Well maybe it would be sad if it didn't happen all the time. Now it's just funny.Projection. Anyone who can read realizes you have lost.
