(14,912 posts)this discussion. You don't even know the basics of which gun is what, as you clearly demonstrated by not knowing the difference between a pistol and a rifle. All you see is the word GUN and and start drooling and slobbering all the anti-gun nut memes and talking points.
And just to educate you a little bit, "Assault *RIFLES*", capable of firing fully automatic, have been strictly banned from civilians since the 1930s. You can still own one.. if you have a Federal Firearms License (FFL), have the $2000 transfer fee, the (roughly) $20,000-$25,000 to buy it from another FFL holder, and pass more background checks than it takes to become a Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate.
Knee-jerk, reactionary posting with no knowledge at all about what you're talking about doesn't help the discussion one bit. Do us all, and especially yourself, a favor and at least educate yourself on the subject you're discussing so you don't make yourself look foolish again, like you just did in this post.
Thanks in advance,
Ghost
