Are attributes of different "assault weapons" merely cosmetic?

108. I find it funny that anti-gunners go straight to name-calling, right anti-gun NUT??

If you don't understand the advantages inherent in the design of assault weapons when compared to a standard rifle, then you've probably never fired one, let alone owned and maintained one.

Now, put your money where your big mouth is and I'll prove you wrong. I got my first BB gun at 6 years old, my first .22 at 7 years old and my first high powered rifle, a sporterized 8mm Mauser, along with a 12 GA shotgun, when I was 16. I've owned more guns than I can count. My uncle was a gunsmith and owned a gun shop, a shop I just happened to work in for a couple of years. I buy, sell and trade them all the time, just on a whim, if someone has something I want, need, or just like better than what I have at the time.

You ready throw some money down, or are you one of those types who just lets an alligator mouth overload a canary ass?

On second thought, fuck your money, you probably need it more than I do, so I'll just say it: YOU LOSE!! Here's one of my latest acquisitions:



That's a 1956 Romanian SKS dropped in a TAPCO INTRAFUSE Stock System, with a 20 round magazine. I also have a Remington Model 742 WoodsMaster Semi-Auto 30-06, a Marlin Model 60 Stainless Steel .22LR and, get this, A Benjamin Model 342 Pump-up .22 cal PELLET rifle that's over 30 years old.

Now, in case you want to try to say I lifted the SKS pic off the internet, PM me a cell phone number and I'll send you a picture of me holding it right in front of this post. I'll do the same with the 30-06 and the pellet rifle, but can't with the Marlin .22 because I let my son-in-law borrow it for raccoon that keeps attacking his cats, plus it chased my 6 year old grandson across the yard in the daylight. That's a sign of a rabid 'coon, in case you didn't know that.

In closing, just let me say this: Don't you EVER presume to know ANYTHING about me, because you don't know jackshit about who I am, or what I used to be. BTW, as for your assertion that "If you don't understand the advantages inherent in the design of assault weapons when compared to a standard rifle"... #1. The ergonomics of the pistol grip is a lot easier on my wrist, as I have bi-lateral carpal tunnel syndrome, coupled with cubital tunnel syndrome (that's like carpal tunnel, but in the elbow). #2. The adjustable stock allows for safer handling with multiple users, which include me (at 6' 3" ), my better half (all of 4' 11" and 98lbs), my son (5' 11&quot , and my daughter (5' 2&quot . #3. The 20 round mag lets us all take turns shooting without having to reload, we shoot 5 shots each. Total cost for one loaded mag: 4.97 + tax at Walmart for some cheap 7.62x.39 rounds.. 20 shells per box.
