I'm sure that "legitimate sport" can be had with an AR-15. Orsino Apr 2018 #4

The term "AR-15" is like the term "Xerox" Kaleva Apr 2018 #5

I'm referring to all assault weapons HopeAgain Apr 2018 #6

Guns with the ability to hold large amounts of ammunition and fire rapidly HopeAgain Apr 2018 #11

Please define "large amounts" and "rapidly." Straw Man Apr 2018 #14

I don't pass legislation HopeAgain Apr 2018 #32

So you don't know what you want. Straw Man Apr 2018 #36

Countries with gun control have less gun violence HopeAgain Apr 2018 #39

Oh, c'mon. How broad is your brush? Straw Man Apr 2018 #41

That's what we elect our politicians to do. HopeAgain Apr 2018 #17

Do you want to ban bump stocks? Now we're getting somewhere. Straw Man Apr 2018 #21

So you don't want to ban any guns, why not say that instead of gunsplaining? HopeAgain Apr 2018 #27

I'm not. Straw Man Apr 2018 #33

Bump stocks aren't guns HopeAgain Apr 2018 #34

So no detachable magazines? Straw Man Apr 2018 #38

Why not? What do you need them for? HopeAgain Apr 2018 #40

How about self-defense? Straw Man Apr 2018 #42

I've never felt the need to take care of myself that way. HopeAgain Apr 2018 #46

So you want to deny everyone else the opportunity? Straw Man Apr 2018 #48

I can't eliminate all risks and that risk is only getting greater HopeAgain Apr 2018 #52

If it saves only one life ... Straw Man Apr 2018 #54

So while you are waiting to save one life... HopeAgain Apr 2018 #56

One life? Or 116,000 lives, or 2.5 million lives? Straw Man Apr 2018 #59

That is not what the study says HopeAgain Apr 2018 #60

It's all hypothetical. Straw Man Apr 2018 #62

Save it, OK. Not now, please. MineralMan Apr 2018 #35

Not now? Why not? Straw Man Apr 2018 #49

I'm not collecting points. MineralMan Apr 2018 #50

I didn't start this thread. Straw Man Apr 2018 #55

Several years ago, I proposed a way to define what an assault weapon is. Kaleva Apr 2018 #10

The answer to your original question is 44 minutes. Iggo Apr 2018 #29

Ok, ban any damned thing that can fire more than 3 bullets in five seconds. Blue_true Apr 2018 #20

The old single-action revolvers ... Straw Man Apr 2018 #31

Oh spare me on how many sacrifices gunners have made. Blue_true Apr 2018 #45

Nice rant. Now, addressing the issue ... Straw Man Apr 2018 #47

I am done. Blue_true Apr 2018 #51

OK, thanks for the clarity. Straw Man Apr 2018 #53

But somehow the State of California has managed to define things pretty well. The_Casual_Observer Apr 2018 #57

And yet one can still legally buy AR-15 style rifles in California Kaleva Apr 2018 #61

How well? I see a welter of confusion and arbitrary nonsense. Straw Man Apr 2018 #63

I don't ususally respond to crackpots The_Casual_Observer Apr 2018 #66

And I don't usually respond ... Straw Man Apr 2018 #68

I don't see this AR-15 style rifle on the list Kaleva Apr 2018 #64
