Are the Second Amendment "rights" of Americans really being "threatened" - or is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing, reactionary base "fired up" for 2012?

The PTR-93 is not full auto and therfore is not an assault rifle. I'm fully aware of the required license to own an actual assault rifle.

sry i ment to say "acessorys and ammo"

You should do better research , there are no assault rifles for sale there, only accesorys and , no full auto anything.

There are'nt any assault rifles for sale now , what you and others are tring to do is lable semi-auto rifles as assault rifles when they are not.

Yes legaly is the key word. How is making it even harder for someone whos squeaky clean to get an already highly regulated item going to stop some nut case from doing something illegal with them when its already illegal for him to have said item? Answer:Its not because only honest people follow the rules, nut cases and criminals dont.

Munster, While they are not assault weapons in thier factory form ,they can be modified to be turned into assault weapons, but it is expensive, illegal and not as easy as you want to alledge. Its not a matter of taking it out to the workshop and doing some filing. With the AR platform it requires the replacement of the complete lower receiver and many internal parts, the AK has a few less parts to replace but still requires extensive receiver work or replacement. All of these parts are registered and the weapons that they are in are registered and licensed, it is illegal to manufacture new parts or install them in another weapon. It is illegal to possess any of these parts or weapons without a expensive license and a very extensive background check, then there are lots more laws about storage and transportation. You need to be very rich and squeaky clean or you can never own them legally, nut cases usually an'nt squeaky clean.

Very few people own "Assault Rifles" free! Lot's of people own the guns you use that term incorrectly in describing them. Unless you are really stupid enough to think that any "AR/AK" platform rifle is capable of fully automatic rate of fire.

Well, on second thought, you probably are that stupid!

"personal defense weapons" = "assault weapons"

"assault weapons" = "personal defense weapons"

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking to purchase up to 7,000 “personal defense weapons” (PDW) -- the same rifles called "assault weapons" when owned by civilians, The Blaze reported Saturday.”

And I have a big problem with the constant lies from the major network and their cable channel news outlets. But I'm not on here constantly complaining about them. I just don't watch them!

If Obama is opposed to guns, why did his administration just purchase 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition and sniper rounds?

Democrats may stand in Obama's way on gun measures

Seems to me that the main stream media, and their cable outlets,have a pretty loose version of truth as well.

That crazy Brit, Piers Morgan has been doing shows pretty much every evening, commenting on gun control. Sadly, nearly nothing that comes out of his mouth has even a hint of truth.

You don't have any problem with their being a conservative point of view? Why then are you constantly complaining about it?

Free, I believe Rupert Murdoch started Fox, and he's a Brit! Given that there's ONE television outlet putting out a conservative viewpoint, and there's the 3 major networks, as well as a couple of cable outlets promoting the daily liberal lie, I have no idea why you'd be upset to see a single voice for the other side. Oh, you've got the public TV news promoting your lies on our dime too.

Yes Mod, that weather was fun! Columbus was having demolition derby practice the majority of the day!

These boys are trying to leave no stone unturned, this time.

gay marriage debates *

moderation, i was wondering where my original post went. it is here under the wrong topic. i will say that i think joe is a more moderate host than many on msnbc. regarding this topic, i thought it was rather cheeky to drag a priest out to support stronger gun control. where was he during the marriage debates?

There are some 50Cals in the area. God, do they make some noise when you pull off 100 rounds or so at a time. Yahoo.

lts- rep. johnson thinks it should be about rep. johnson. doncha you like joe s., lts? I think he is mostly fair in his analysis of events. I do often agree with him, but he is a bully often times.
