There are lots of 5-shot .38 Special revolvers. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #56

Do you think this yahoo cares whether he has a semi-auto or fully automatic? Hoyt Jun 2016 #17

Do you want him writing laws? Recursion Jun 2016 #20

I don't think it matters what AR stands for. What it should stand for is what type of rifle was Hoyt Jun 2016 #19

And the AWB keeps that rifle legal, with a modified grip Recursion Jun 2016 #21

Don't worry about grips -- ban rifles (and handguns) with detachable magazines, drums, clips, belts Hoyt Jun 2016 #22

Armalite rifle. linuxman Jun 2016 #23

I think the marketeers who name gunz nowadays have a very good reason for using AR in the name. Hoyt Jun 2016 #26

Yes, because it's the model name for the type of firearm. linuxman Jun 2016 #38

No, it's used because yahoos want to shoot an "assault rifle." It make them feel powerful as one Hoyt Jun 2016 #39
