[QUOTE=Monkeydad;1059789]Good point, however there's no such thing as an "assault rifle" or "assault weapon". It's not a real classification of guns, it's an anti-gun and media term they made up to scare people when talking about guns. See Giantone's posts as proof it works on people who know nothing about guns.

The "AR" in the "AR-15" rifiles you hear the media rant about even when a shotgun was used doesn't stand for "Assault Rifle". It's short for the original manufacturer of that type of gun, "[B]AR[/B]marlite", the division of the company that developed them. They sold the patents and name to Colt, so early ones were called Colt Armalite-15, 10, 70, etc. Since then, most rifles that even look like a true AR-15 get sold as AR-15s and those who know nothing about guns except from what CNN, Joe Biden and Stephen Colbert tell them get scared and shout "that's an assault rifle!" when they see a big gun.

The anti-gun crowd loves to paint responsible gun owners as stupid rednecks, while at the same time showing absolutely no education on the subject their talking about.[/QUOTE]

I agree, I'm also aware of the assault rifle misnomer, however short of sticking quotes around the name on the image I was powerless.....

It was more bait for GiantOne than anything.

Your attempt to paint every criminal as an NRA member is laughable. You don't even appear to have any clue on what the NRA actually does.

[quote=NC_Skins;1059796]That's not true. The Afghan rebels held off the Russians who had 10 times the weaponry that they did. The sheer amount of people would overwhelm any army base Sure, there would be high amounts of casualties. Only thing they could really do is nuke their own land, and who the hell is going to do that?[/quote]

Afghan rebels were pounded at first and only turned the tide when they got anti-aircraft and other weaponry (care of the USA).

Homeowners do not have these weapons. A government helicopter can come to your house, stay out of range of your small arms fire, and kill your whole family with a missile. A whole closet full of rifles is useless in this situation.

The idea of a citizen's militia successfully battling the government like in the late 18th century is obsolete.

I like how they left out hand gun deaths. i'd also like to see the study on malpractice deaths, as that seems kinda high. just wondering how they define the term.

Sitting in a movie theater and shooting some guy and his wife with a box of popcorn for texting is not defending your home .
