Gun control debate (merged)

I wanna be adopted by that ma

Did a quick search of M2s for sale. Most recent listing I could find was several years ago and estimated price ranged as high as $42K.

No argument here.

Because you have no logical argument to make

 

[StarRaider]

I'd never go to him for medical treatment...

well maybe if I was a kid... but I'll take a vet over an MD any day. They gotta be able to cure a lizard, a chicken, a pig, a frog all on the same day.

my reason is he said things about Covid that conflicted with the official SCIENCE™ - a dangerous person fo sho.

 

[luthervol]

You’d think it was a hoot and a half if I let you shoot it.

Not really intrigued.

and standing pat on my reason

Would not want you to get ptsd

 

[GroverCleveland]

I disagree.
That is clearly a defensive weapon

You know, on further reflection, I agree with you. Purely a defensive weapon and guaranteed to scare off anyone wanting to break bad.

Ever watched the videos of them hog hunting with a M2 mounted in the back of pickup truck? .50 Browning is a badass.

He'd shoot your eye out

 

[85SugarVol]

yes. 10 million less would result in "more safe"

So what measurable safety metrics would reflect this newly established “more safe” paradigm?

Gun crimes?
Gun homicides?

 

[StarRaider]

Here you go:

and possess one or more other features.

what is/are "one or more other features." ? seems rather vague... show yer work

 

[StarRaider]

so illegal assault weapons... aka undocumented self defense protection devices ...,,, should be against the law?

@luthervol still nothing??? kewl

@luthervol still nothing??? khop khop!

I would guess a combination of many, with common sense being the leader.

 

[85SugarVol]

That definition is from Wikipedia. It doesn’t provide the “other features” for him to share.

Here’s another from the same wiki article -

“Merriam-Webster's online definition is "any of various automatic or semiautomatic firearms; especially: assault rifle".[19]”

So any of “various semiautomatic firearms”.

Guess that pretty much sums it up.

seems to be a reasonable definition to most 2a nuts

from the 2a gun nutz webz? gunanon?

 

[85SugarVol]

So you don’t want to provide anything measurable? Sensible and Common Sense are not measurable.

my ma is a rich beech

 

[luthervol]

lol

That's what I thought. What a stupid debate to even have.

 

[85SugarVol]

I realize “other” wasn’t listed in the definition you shared, but it’s kind of an important detail.

whatever the guvment decides is "other" is good enough & reasonable for the 2a nutz.

Here you go:

Drawing from federal and state law definitions, the term assault weapon refers primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines and possess one or more other features. Some jurisdictions define revolving-cylinder shotguns as assault weapons.

By this definition the shotgun I use during goose conservation season would be an assault weapon.
