I know what an assault weapon is do you?

As in Bolt Action, Lever Action, Pump Action, or even Break ( last 2 more common with shotguns).

With handguns, Revolvers could be Single-Action or Double-Action. Pistols obviously being Semi-Auto.

In a guerrilla war scenario, it seems like a lot of reliance would be on Snipers where I don't think having Semi-Auto is a major factor. I'm not sure how far a group of people would get engaging professional soldiers with their "Assault" rifles.

Or in close quarters, a Single-Action or Break-Action Double Barrel Shotgun could still do a lot or be concealed if sawed off.

A single action can only be a single action revolver like those modeled after the single action 1873 Colt or a single action semi-auto like a Colt 1911 or Browning P-35. It doesnt apply to rifles or shotguns.


Guerrilla warfare is about fighting dirty. You don't directly engage the enemy, you rely on hit and run ambushes and raids, booby traps, IED's, and yes, long range rifle work, etc... When the opportunity presents itself you "liberate" enemy weapons and supplies, too.[/quote]

I don't know what you're trying to get at here, but if it's trying to convince us that we don't need "assault rifles" because in your opinion they are useless as militia weapons you would be wrong. Even if you're not wrong I'm still keeping mine, anyway.

Maybe I'm doubtful about civilians engaging professional soldiers making a lot noise with assault weapons against an enemy who can radio for aid if necessary which means armored vehicles can show up or explosives come into play. I understand this would be hit and run ideally, but pushing for Assault Rifles seems like pushing for sustained fire.

Also, maybe I'm fishing for a compromise because Assault Weapons are becoming an issue with mass shooters. Even aside from looks, I wonder if civilians really have a need for rapid fire guns with high capacity magazines.

You're right though, I misused the term Single-Action.

Correct.

It's been explained to them many many times but they tend to forget...

Even a real assault rifle (one with selective fire capability and not one that just looks scary) is not a sustained fire weapon. Yeah, the details count.


Your anti-gun politicians and the liberal media are responsible for their proliferation in more recent years by very loudly advertising their availability to everyone and their sister. The AR-15 has been available to citizens since 1964 but the manufacturers, with rare exceptions, have only advertised them and others like them in gun magazines (e.i. to those who were already gun owners).

There’s no agreed definition. What California defines as An asault weapon is different then what New York does or what ploticians in congress. California has two rival definitions competing at one point. Basically it’s whatever anti gun person decides it is.
Which is usually 90% of guns including most handguns, rifles and shotguns.

Do you know what military grade is? It’s the bare min specification that can be met for as cheap as possible. It’s quality standard not firepower standard. Usually means rougher and can stand rough conditions, again made as cheap as possible. Quite a few military grade stuff sucks. But hey they saved some mone, what’s a soldiers life worthy anyways.

Full auto guns are already banned. We have in and “compromised” one what your side claimed was middle ground and common sense. Here we are yet again and you moved the starting point yet again.there is no middle ground on a constantly moving starting point. No simi auto guns should be legal for any one who can own guns. I have a right to defense of my life. Infringement has a definition. What’s shall not be infringed mean to you? Should you need a license to use your other rights? Where’s the protest license? Free speech license? License to not self incrimination, license to not be searched without a warrant. Military wants to use your home for operation training, sorry you didn’t the license for the right to not have troops garrison in your home. You need a privacy license, fill out form 1049 b and take it to the bill of rights department and wait hour s in line to get form 1050 a. Then mail that form to the government and they’ll get back to you in a few years if you qualify to have rights determined by whatever party is in power at the time. In mean time you have no rights as you don’t have any licenses, so no due process for you, no trial for you, you just be thrown in prison with no visitation for using a federally illegal substance.

No rights can’t require a license that’s a clear infringement. As Hillary said any right you need to ask permission for isn’t a right at all.

Those are manually operated firearms.
Single action means it causes the slide or cylinder to cycle or rotate. Double action guns can do so without the first round being chamber or hammer pulled back. Thus preforming two actions.

A lot will be close ambushes. And most people use simi auto long guns for s pier rifles todsy.
Look simi autos are modern guns and been around for a really long time. Should we only be allowed paper and pencil ?

Most mass shooters use a handgun or shotgun. Less then half are with the scary ar15.
But the media like yiu said wants to ban it, so they protray it falsely as the most evil rifle that’s on,y purpose is killing lots of people and can kill hundreds in one 30roind mag. They go on and on about it, so yeah they go and use it. If they went on and on about how horrible say a bolt action gun is, they shooters would use it.
Also a lot of mass shootings use the 10 rd mags they claim would prevent mass shootings.

Many of the politicians when asked say non of the laws not a single one would stop any of the pass shootings or future shootings. They admit the laws they want won’t save a single gosh dang person. So why do they want it? What’s their real reason?

It’s like going in to the hospital for feeling sick and they remove one of your lungs. There’s no connection why did they remove your lung how does that help your cold?

It's about controlling people...
