[ "...point is, full auto fire is easy to do with any semi automatic mechanism from an AR15 to a Remington model 742 Woodmaster." Brian]
Bad direction this thread is going. Good argument for losing semi-autos...Geo
huh?? then lets ban high performance cars and motorcycles because someone may speed with one. these are all inanimate objects. they require human interaction to function properly or improperly. I don't see how my stating that any legal semi auto, regardless of configuration can be made to function similar to (not converted to) automatic fire is a good reason to just accept the antis wanting to ban them? am I missing something here?

that's like saying we shouldn't mention that there are those that claim they can operate a pump gun faster than a semi automatic. wouldn't that be a good argument to losing pumps.???

Hang on, where's ed. This could easily devolve into confiscation. Maybe, he can talk the fellows into voluntarily leaving their pants at home.

Not my argument, theirs. You're just confirming it. Besides, I doubt it's as easy as people claim it is to do...Geo

you dont even need to use your belt loop. just push forward on fore end while holding trigger finger against trigger, do not wrap hand around grip. recoil does the rest.
don't shoot the nessenger

What you are missing here Brian is that the banning of any or semi auto guns is not about saving lives of the public. If you look at it from that perspective of saving lives then none of it makes any sense.
Surely you can work out why TPTB want the citizenry disarmed and will go to any length to achieve this end. Make any excuse to and tell any lie.

I am not missing anything. that is precisely my point.
it is always about symbolism over substance. feelings over reality.

It would be very easy to jump onto the "reasonable gun laws" argument. The problem is, when has the left ever been about "compromise" or "reasonable" or working together?
One must accept that the left wants no guns, period.
Personally, I don't own or shoot AR type rifles or what the media calls "Assault weapons." However, I support a person's right to own one provided that they are otherwise not prohibited from having a firearm. If I don't support them, who will support my activities when they are targeted next?
If you ban these type of weapons, only criminals will have them. Or, the next lunatic will simply use a pump-action, lever-action or what have you. Then the left will say "we want those too."
We as a country, need to get to the root cause of the problem, which in my opinion is mental illness and an overly medicated and soft population.
Deranged people are going to kill, no matter the method. We see it in Europe and elsewhere, swords, cars, trucks. etc.
Just my take...

Give them an inch & they take a mile. The thin edge of the wedge. Once it is in then the hammering starts.
Till it is ridiculous.
I don't smoke & I don't mind if others want to. But here smoking is banned in public places & within 4 metres of doorways & even in hotel bar rooms. Drinking inside, smoking & drinking out in the beer garden. I can order a meal over the bar & eat it in the dining room or sitting at the bar, but not in the beer garden. The law forbids me to eat in a designated smoking area. So not just a smoking law but an eating law riding on its back.
This is the sort of nonsensical thing you have to put up with when you let the left off the leash.
