MMMMM M1 carbines huh. Did I mention I got a birthday coming up?:mrgreen:semi auto magazine fed centerfire rifles were sold to the US public BEFORE WWI. and our own government's Dept of Civilian Marksmanship distributed thousands upon thousands of MI carbines and MI Garand rifles to citizens after the Korean war. I own about 5 of each that I got from the DCM and its successor, the CMP
I am curious -what are you claiming as lies?
"One drop," eh?
What the libruls just cannot seem to work out is that when you ban a specific gun, all you are doing is creating a bigger demand for it.
Probably a term invented by the same people who think the terms "assault weapon" and "assault rifle" synonymous. They probably figure if they attach a scary sounding name to a handgun then it would make it easier to ban.
The one thing the Brady Bill did was make those who are/were convicted of killing someone while using a banned assault gun during a
crime was they got a mandatory life sentence with no parole.
Because of the Brady Bill our friends and relatives know the two murderers who killed my husbands cousin with a semi during a robbery gone wrong ,we can know the Those responsible for robbing and killing him will spend the rest of their life’s in jail.
I was accused of lying for stating ar-15 was made more available to mass market in 1989 by jamesrage
This is what you said in post #24Is there some way to view the chart from say 1989 - 2018. The AR-15 became mass produced and introduced to the consumer market in 1989. So the previous 7 years would not add much validity to the quoted stats above. And the last 3 years would certainly be germaine...Just saying

What about self defense?
This is what you said in post #24
that's based on the tired and stupid idea the passing gun control will deter someone who wasn't deterred about the consequences of being convicted of multiple counts of capital murder
Is it easier to buy an assault weapon than it is to buy a handgun - and if so, why?
Typical liberal mentality.
Close to none...
Ohferchristsakes.
Usually I like irony but in cases like this it's painful.
So we shouldn’t outlaw murder nor pass gun controls because people disobey laws? The whole idea is to reduce the number of innocents killed, recognizing that we cannot eliminate those incidents. But relax. My side has lost the battle. We can happily have our high end homicide rates, the envy of the world which has little chance of ever catching us. Maybe conservatives are right: we just might have more mental illness than other countries, and that’s where we should focus our energy. And, of course, send thoughts and prayers.
Without looking it up, do you know the difference between an assault weapon and an assault rifle?
I have never met a liberal who did know the difference without looking it up.
I was sure I linked guess not. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/...ld-ar-15s-to-civilians-for-more-than-50-yearsPrecisely. Thank you .
well given "assault weapon" can mean so many different things who knows
one of the reasons why the civilian legal UZI carbine was imported by IMI in the late 80s was because defensive handguns were banned or hard to acquire legally in Democrat anti gun cities like Chicago NYC etc. those carbines were easier to shoot than pistols, weren't much different in terms of power and were compact and legal to buy. You can buy a semi auto rifle at age 18 federally while a pistol requires you to be 21.
I don't give a damn about it. Means absolutely nothing to me. In case you care, I support your right to own any kind of gun you want.
Tell you this about those AR-type rifles. If you ever meet me or one of my frinds in the bush and you're carrying one of those fashion statements, you're liable to get laughed and pointed at and called 'Rambo'.
Tell you something else- where I live damned near every house contains at least one liberal and at least one gun.
And just one last thing- you don't have a clue what you're talking about, nearly every time I read one of your posts.

But it sure sounded like you thought 1989 was when the AR-15 went on the civilian market. It did look that way on your link to an ammo land article with a timeline.
But that's not a moral/constitutional argument - we can define what an assault rifle is - it's a rifle which allows you to fire shot after shot without reloading, by pressing the trigger again and again.
It's not hard to categorically identify AR-15 type weapons.
So don't you see something absurd in that? It seems to me that the more lethal a weapon is, the more restricted it should be (ie. the harder it should be to get such a weapon). By the same logic, getting access to high explosives should be even more difficult than getting access to a semi-automatic or a pistol.
A pistol is not more deadly than a semi-automatic rifle. If you or I were planning to go on a school-shooting spree, we'd probably prefer the semi-automatic rifle over the pistol.
Therefore it's absurd that a semi-automatic rifle should be easier to purchase than a pistol. If we can tolerate an age limit of 21 for pistols, why can't we tolerate them for an AR-15 type of rifle? Or is it that we should allow easier access to AR-15 because it's "cooler" and more attractive due to its greater lethality?
I'm glad the stereotype is broken.
Bullcrap. I've been liberal all my life and most of the people around me have, too. The stereotype doesn't really exist, never has. It's just a cartoon character invented by low-functioning right-whingers to give them something easy for them to understand. Like the rest of the world, make it 2-dimensional and monochromatic and able to fit on a bumper-sticker and now the average low-functioning conservative has something he can wrap his mind around.
Yet the M1 Carbine and Mini-14 which allow this have never been considered "assault weapons".But that's not a moral/constitutional argument - we can define what an assault rifle is - it's a rifle which allows you to fire shot after shot without reloading, by pressing the trigger again and again.
