Whatever floats your boat! I guess I'm narrow minded like that. I see legislation and do research around it finding actions and events in times that I lived through and find evidence that adds up in my opinion. It's getting harder and harder to discern what Republicans believe in except for a devotion to one guy that seems to be going so well for the country. When we see a real platform from them that includes the problems people face then that might change some minds but so far nothing of substance to support what they believe in other than let's blame some Democrats for problems they made.

Tell me just how easy do you find it to vet things?? And what are your sources in doing so… ?? I would appreciate knowing perhaps I need to look at them.

I ask because I find it extremely difficult to vet anything within the parameters of this country. Now when you go outside of this country you can find out plenty….

It's a 22cal no power. anyone with common sense would not attempt to use this on the battlefield. You would be dead in minutes.

Au contraire, ma'am. Your education about firearms may (or may not) be adequate, but your comprehension is woefully short.

I placed a post to you on page 9 of this post, near the top, and asked you a question. You have not answered. The date/time was Feb 19, 2022 23:24:09.
I would appreciate your view of the proposal, and do you think it would work.

The question was posed to Robin. Sorry.

Comprehension of what exactly?

Apparently the court got it when they ruled against Remington but you don't so perhaps something is awry here?

Apparently you do need education. Just because you don’t think it should be used for sport or anything else doesn’t make it so. Your opinion is just that - opinion

By the way they are not clips they are magazines. There is a difference

Ok whatever. I shot expert because I have excellent eye hand coordination and I only shot once a year for many years but I stand corrected.

What are you talking about, I'm not the one who whined over a post being hurtful and asking for an apology, that was you pal. All I said was don't expect an apology from me after...
And yeah you do owe me one and the problem is not being too manly, it's not being a big enough one.
No worries, I'm over it long time now. I was foolish to trust anyone form the right, lesson learned.




Lets see..... confusion, i never whine, i owe you an apology, took a dig at my less than manly manhood. .... state you're over something after clearly showing you're not..... and cap it off with a dividing line of left and right that didnt seen necessary.

All that because I was. ........ being a smarty pants.......... control and attention to the obvious is in order.

Good day sir...... ponder a bit, objectively of course....... then tell me what you really see.

Obviously, it is not possible to educate you on firearms.

An AR15 will accept magazines of 5rd, 10rd, 20rd, 30rd, and drum mags of 50 or more rounds.

Every semi-automatic firearm in existence "enables the firing as far (sic) as you can squeeze the trigger".

The only time a semi-auto firearm causes "massive death" is when a mentally disturbed individual uses one to kill people.

As we speak, 25 million American citizens own one or more AR15s.
I am one of them.
If the 25 million Americans who own an AR15 were mentally disturbed, the slaughter would be of Biblical proportions.

Couple years ago, Mother Jones conducted a study of mass shootings that occurred between 1982 and 2012.
The study included the type of firearm used in each instance.
In less than 3% of all mass shootings was a rifle of any type - bolt action, lever action, semi auto, shotgun - used to commit the crime.

97% of the killings were committed with a handgun.

In less than 2 seconds, the shooter can drop the empty mag from a semi-auto and replace it with a loaded one.
IOW, an AR shooter can empty three 10 round mags almost as fast as one with a 30 round mag.

Therefore, in most cases the capacity of a magazine is irrelevant.
However, in self defense situations, a high capacity magazine is highly recommended.

When ArmaLite sold the manufacturing license to Colt Firearms,
Colt designed and manufactured the semi-auto AR15 Sporter for civilian use.

The AR15 semi auto is a fine gun, used for many applications - target shooting, competition, hunting, and, of course, self defense. It is accurate, reliable, rugged, and easy to maintain.
However, due to the small caliber of the the bullet (.223rem or 5.56) and the relatively light powder charge, the AR's hunting applications are limited.

For your sake, I suggest you not display your ignorance of firearms.

Especially, to someone who fired his first shot at age 5 and whose father gave him his own 22LR semi-auto rifle when he was 7 years old.

Wonderful. The massive death possible with reloadable magazines is duly noted and probably also by the court.

You were an expert shot shooting once a year….

Just because one can shoot doesn’t mean one is knowledgeable about guns. There’s a lot to it. I’m far from an expert but canspot misinformation

All gun magazines are reloadable, you simply insert cartridges into the mag until it is full.
All guns are reloadable or they'd be useless.

It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have one.
