So what is the big deal about the Mexican drug cartel getting access to assault rifles, if they are only "cosmetically different" than legal guns?
the minions yes-like the multitude of morons in say the million mom march. The leaders-not a chance.
No it is not about that dead guy, its actually about the Constitutional rights of Americans.
Can you cite the Supreme Court decision that found the 1990's ban on assault rifles unconstitutional. Thanks!
Looks like I DID SAY MILLION MOM MARCH
looks like you were really wrong Catawba
when you figure out what a real assault rifle is get back to me. YOu again confuse assault rifles with the idiotic cosmetically based term "assault weapon"
it never got before the supreme court
true-it never made it upAs I said, the ban on assault rifles was never found to be unconstitutional.
I am asking you what is the big deal about the Mexican drug cartel getting access to assault rifles, if they are only "cosmetically different" than legal guns?
Can you answer that or not?
Real assault rifles are fully automatic-hardly cosmetic

"The government said Thursday that 68,000 guns recovered by Mexican authorities in the past five years have been traced back to the United States."
"Mexican President Felipe Calderon said the U.S. government has not done enough to stop the flow of assault weapons and other guns from the U.S. to Mexico."
"Mexican law enforcement officials report that certain types of rifles such as AK variants with detachable magazines are being used more frequently by drug trafficking organizations, ATF said in a news release."

Why do you suppose the Mexican drug cartel prefers the AK variants with detachable magazines?

the M2 was arguably the first modern assault rifle
great little gun-Bought a commercial (junk) copy when I was a law student. Got a hand built one on like new receiver by Fulton Armory about 25 years ago and then several CMP guns. My son started shooting one at 8-its an easy weapon for kids and ladies
I am always on the lookout for sales on 30 MI carbine-ammo-fortunately one of my dad's friends had a ton and when he moved into a retirement home he asked me to "dispose of all this ammo" which was fine with me since he had 2000 rounds that still worked
That you even cited a news source that says "AK's with detachable mags" brings into question the validity of the report.
Unless of course you're talking about a semi-automatic AK which is no better than a hunting rifle.
I own a couple of assault rifles for fun. Even though I shoot them for a living, its still fun to go out in the front yard and crank a mag or two off. Plus, you can't beat it for shooting pests such as racoons and possums. On another note, I don't think I should be able to own a 100 round drum for either of them. Alright TurtleDude, lets hear it. I didn't continue our debate in the other thread about this.
Yeah, the M2 had full auto capabilites: the handguards were different as well. I like the thing. It's fast; real accurate at 50 yards: a great bush gun
the only guns capable of being traced to the United States are ones made here. Many of those are military weapons we have given the Mexican government and their paramilitary police forces. Those forces are highly corrupt
millions of Soviet block guns are not traceable to the united states so we have no idea of the numbers of them
BTW there are few if any AKs made in the USA
what we have are what are called 18 USC 922 compliant weapons. Under prior presidential executive orders "foreign made" "assault weapons" cannot be imported into the USA. So foreign semi autos have several parts replaced with US made parts to comply with that idiotic law. Normally the stock, the pistol grip,the forearm, the hammer, the trigger,disconnector and the sear and sometimes the barrel
most of the stuff you are talking about was imported to the USA
but the cartels prefer fully auto versions and those are not coming from American gunshots but places like other Latin American countries including Chavez's arms factories (which include a recent Russian built AK factory)
there are millions of real AKs available
1) because the soviets replaced them with the AK 74 which fires a bullet similar to our M16-thus the old 762x39 rifles were dumped on the world market
2) eastern bloc nations which became allied with NATO dumped soviet weapons when they rearmed
3) the chinese are no longer using Soviet styled weapons but their own domestically designed rifles-theres another several million soviet pattern guns dumped on the world market
Or, they are differentiating AKs from rifles without detachable Mags, which is how most people would interpret it.
Yes, that is what they are talking about. Why does the Drug Cartel prefer it to rifles without detachable mags? That was my question.
These guns have bee illegally obtained from the US for the last 5 years, so we are not talking about only Fast and Furious guns here.
No where in there did you answer my question:
Why do you suppose the Mexican drug cartel prefer rifles with detachable magazines?
