Geez!

I'm all for staying in my country and letting everything sort itself out.

They call that isolationism and it doesn't work.

A sporting rifle, the AR15 is a semi automatic firearm, just like a pistol. One pull of the trigger, one round is fired.

Continuous firing firearm would be a automatic weapon. Those a very hard to find, very expensive, and purchasers must go through an indepth background check. All automatic firearms are registered with the ATF, they keep vlose tabs on them. They're also not allowed to be built for the general public any longer. Haven't been for quite some time now. Thirty years...

I chose poor wording with that I guess. My whole point was that many handguns act in a semi automatic manner in the same way... one trigger squeeze, one round fired. A fact ignored by anti gun folks. My fault there

We've been bombing them for decades.

Well obviously not enough!!!

Maybe not, but it worked for Ethiopia for 50 years or so. Lol.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

That's your opinion, which you're entitled. I have my own, which I'm also entitled to.

Fair enough, but we've been trying it your way for decades. How's it working out for you?

M-16's shoot a .223, same diameter as the .22 , just with a butt load more powder

Actually 5.56, .223 is a tad different. You can shoot .223 in a rifle with the barrel marked 5.56 but cant shoot 5.56 in a rifle marked .223

You are right---it is .223.

I last qualified in 1989 so you'll have to forgive me if I forget.

MY way?

No it's called non-interventionism.

Geez!

I did miss that my bad. You said the smarter one's that was a good one.

 

[Catatonic]

IMO--- yes.

IMO - Dave = Chester
But getting away from opinions:
An assault rifle is a fully automatic selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles were first used during World War II. Though Western nations were slow to accept the assault rifle concept after World War II, by the end of the 20th century they had become the standard weapon in most of the world's armies, replacing battle rifles and sub-machine guns. Examples include the StG 44, AK-47and the M16 rifle.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Then are you suggesting im an assaulter if thats a word when i use them?

I am suggesting that if you own an assault weapon then you have the potential to be an assaulter.

And anyone with a ball point pen has the potential to be a murderer. That doesn't make them one.

Or Albania!

M-16's shoot a .223, same diameter as the .22 , just with a butt load more powder

and the bullet is longer and therefore more mass plus it's traveling at 3000 ft/sec.

 

[Oh Shoot]

And anyone with a ball point pen has the potential to be a murderer. That doesn't make them one.

Or a knife an axe or a hammer...or car for that matter of opinion

 

[oldngray]

M-16's shoot a .223, same diameter as the .22 , just with a butt load more powder

Almost the same. A .22 uses a .223 diameter bullet and a .223 actually uses a .224.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Let's no even go into the merits of the 222 Remington!

 

[Oh Shoot]

Im out...gonna go shoot me some targets in the backyard
