a) You don't need to take on the world. You just need to make yourself a harder target so people move along to other easier softer targets (please review Korean on rooftop with rifle, who kept his business and family safe during Los Angelos riots).
b) Prediction in 10 years. Well, gee, I could be a doomsayer, and say next year. But I've called a lot of predictions. dot com bust, (cashed out), housing bubble (sold and cashed out), 2008 stock market crash (cashed out), heck...even bought Netflix at $10-$15. So I do fairly well on predictions. (Oh by the way, I've been saying for 3 years now to get out of state and municipal bond markets.)
Truthfully, I'd love to see us turn around and get on good footing again and not have to ever see such a prediction as riots in American streets as budget talks flounder, food stamps go unfunded, cities/states go bankrupt and with that the funding for social programs.
c) Who shoots varmints with a semi-auto? Lots of people. Because varmints don't need to be killed in a sporting manner. So yes, you might take out 4 wood chucks in just a few minutes. Or more common, take out a whole pack of coyotes preying on your sheep.
I'm talking about a debt issue that could delay food stamps and other benefits. There was a recent computer glitch issue with food stamps and hundreds turned out in a very vocal mob.
If you can't imagine what would happen if we had a delay, let's think how could this happen, oh...that's right. Budget debate fails to pass. No funding for such things. Yes, that almost happened last year. So let's just say it DOES happen.
Yes, we'll see a spat of riots. Probably akin to Los Angelos in the 90's.
But most of the rifles which are usually referred to as assault weapons utilize.223, or 7.62x39. Which are much smaller than most hunting cartridges, especially the.223.
But more modern rifles tend to be made for the pressures of both. There is a huge potential of pressure difference, I think like 12,000psi or such. Just heard someone mentioning how it was nearly the difference in a 41 Colt.
M1 Garands are usually recommended NOT to shoot the non-military spec.
There was nothing "activist" about DC vs Heller. In fact, it was one of the purest, most well founded Constitutional decisions made in decades. The only activism was that 4 justices regardless of the overwhelming amount of facts decided to vote based on their personal views on guns instead of on Constitutional fact.
Sad....

Jesus also told his disciples to buy Glocks (oops, I mean swords)
Problem is that D.C. has been using a lot of administrative crap to delay things. (example, mandating the gun has to be purchased in D.C., but not allowing FFLs (licensed firearm dealers) to establish businesses in D.C.)
Let's not forget that many movies show silencers on revolvers. Regardless of the fact that silences do not work on revolvers excepting the Russian Nagant revolver with special rounds.
Hollywood should not be one's education tool for policy.
Mind you that 1/2 the features that Jafiwam mentions above that were banned were in fact safety and ergonomic features:
- barrel shroud, a safety device to prevent burns from hot barrels - adjustable stock, ergonomic feature developed to allow a 6'7" male soldier in the army and a 4'7" female soldier to utilize the same equipment. - rails, ergonomic advancement allowing for quick mounting of scopes, lights, via a universal system - think Universal Serial Bus (USB).
The media term is "assault weapon" and the reason they usually don't use "assault rifle" is because the former has no real definition, where as the latter is a specific designation type and MUST feature an automated mode of fire. And I believe it is also defined as an individual firearm (as opposed to a squad manned fully automatic rifle, oft referred to as a machine gun)
Yes...and that's the point. It's really nothing special. Just a standard semi-automatic rifle (not much different than any other varmint rifle).
But in DC it is illegal and near impossible to get one. And he did.... (Could of just kept his mouth shut. And when things hit the crapper in another decade, he'd have the means to keep himself and his neighbors safe.)
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, but it's no where near as brain dead as either Steve Jobs or his disgusting legacy - "iTunes"
#crApple
Yes and in exchange you now have entire proprietary closed system (iOS) and since that was victorious, everyone else is looking to do the same.
Joys...
Death of Flash was probably the worst thing to happen in the computing world in the past 10 years.
Yes, and that in and of itself should have been sufficient to dismiss this case with prejudice.
But hey, Congress is a bunch of lawyers passing laws to the benefit of lawyers
hey, my wife has been on my case about being a pessimist, so I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and be more optimistic.
Seriously, this is DC...most neighbors don't have a sufficient amount of food to steal. Too many eat at McD's every day.

No, I'm not talking apocalyptic brigade here...

No they wouldn't, they'd just go out of state and buy it. They don't care about laws.
True, noticed that afterwards...

It is for M1 Garands...

The Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. (Ideals our nation was founded on.)
Just saying, those ideals view the "right to life" as a fundamental right...just saying.

Sorry.... ;-)
Should have forewarned everyone. Oleg has some great photography.
Actually, in D.C., no they cannot....
Oh, as for what good is an assault weapon? Ask the Korean shop keeper who kept his family and store safe during the Los Angelos riots.

Never mind what's behind the curtain....

Aww....still stuck?
5.56 = most common western caliber
7.62x39 = most common eastern caliber
Both of which pale in comparison to most hunting rounds...

BAN INSULT TV's
I agree!!!!!
Of course it is...
The unborn child might have gotten ahold of the rifle and accidentally shot someone, or at least blown a big friggin' hole in the womb.
Sweet....
He should have kept his mouth shut, then when DC has riots in 10 years, he could have kept his family safe.
Google Oleg Volk Pregnant
Lots of pregnant women have fun with guns!
Yes...and that's the point. It's really nothing special. Just a standard semi-automatic rifle (not much different than any other varmint rifle).
