The zombies run.

It's been a running gag for a while to post pictures of effeminate young men and claim they're Kharn. I don't remember exactly how it all got started now.

The issue of appropriateness is a very touchy one, and it's difficult to define. England has laws in place that severely limit the ability of citizens to carry any defensive weapons. You literally have to believe you are in imminent danger, or you may be convicted of illegally possessing a...

It's in the very arguments that you post: you talk about increasing popularity of these weapons with groups likely to commit crimes with these weapons, militias was the example you gave; you talk about rising usage in crime when statistically you're dealing with 1% of crime anyway, so their...

What do your girly-picture threads compensate for?

Pure speculation. Uses of fully-automatic weapons in crime, even converted weapons, however you do that, is very, very low. Considering that a) this was never really publicized as an important reason for the ban and b) the ban doesn't focus on the mechanics of the firearms at all, I think it's...

Many people I know who have concealed carry licenses also do carry some kind of less lethal deterrant, generally pepper spray. These people are smart enough to recognize that guns aren't an appropriate response for every situation. However, the reverse is also true with less lethal weapons...

Well, Killzig anyway.

Welsh, he's probably using a wider definition of assault weapons than the one the bill uses. That's one of the issues that we run into when pols start making up phrases like that, it doesn't mean anything so anyone can make it mean whatever they want.

Link please. I've even seen interviews were Chuck Schumer grudgingly admitted they were only used in 1 percent of crimes, so I don't buy this. Common in hunting weapons. Common components used to lighten guns, and not especially dangerous. Yeah, our government decided 11 rounds in a...

I figured as much. For the most part you seem fairly reasonable with your views on firearms ownership.

Not talking about full-autos, my post was about the 1994 'Assault Weapons Ban'. This bill banned a handful of semi-automatic rifles, those that fire just one round every time you squeeze the trigger, based on their appearance alone.

Sycophant, perhaps.

My point exactly. You might not think more than a revolver is necessary for home defense, but maybe others can use a different weapon more effectively. If we trust that Finestein and Clinton are wrong about the 'assault weapons' ban, then why not give them that choice?

Heh. I can't imagine why. Stossel made him look like a complete ass on 20/20 tonight. I think Sharpton has a very tenuous grip on reality.

Holy Cow. I didn't mean to turn that into a novel. Sorry, guys! :oops:

This is the second time I've seen this in this thread, so I feel like I have to address it now. There's a lot of buzz about so-called 'assault weapons'. When Bill Clinton signed the 1994 ant-crime bill into law, he told us it would make us safer. Diane Finestein (sp?) told us these were the...

Actually, I take that back. Q3131A is just Israeli-made M193.
