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?

NJ man charged with bow and arrow killing

(Associated Press)

. . .

LIBERALS say . . . Ban all ASSAULT bow and arrows.

No civilian needs an ASSAULT bow and arrow.

Most everyone here knows the difference between a deer rifle and an assault rifle , nit picking is useless !

“Encourage current gun owners to take personal responsibility for their guns.” ~ BeRight

The Newtown shooter’s mother did not do this and it cost her own life and those of many others.” ~ BeRight

I am against banning guns of any kind. I did see an interesting list of things referred to in the article I read as “common ground” steps on guns: Detailed Universal Background checks including creating and using a mental health database. Make Straw purchases a federal crime. Crack down on Rogue guns dealers. Encourage current gun owners to take personal responsibility for their guns. The Newtown shooter’s mother did not do this and it cost her own life and those of many others.

And name calling is always the way of the weak-minded !

There isnt any law prohibiting the sale of trigger assemblies ,just how do you think those bank robbers got full auto AK's???? Now the lower would be tricky !

Using that idiotic description, is the spoon of a fat person an "assault spoon?" If someone uses a pencil to stab another person, is it an "assault pencil?"

Lord, save us from the lunacy of the liberal lefties!

Free, you are an idiot! "Internet instructions" to turn a civilian AR/M-4 rifle into full auto? Really? Do those "instructions" include manufacturing the parts required to achieve that? Because the parts on a civilian model and the military version are quite different.

Actually, owning the PARTS necessary to turn a firearm into a full auto firearm are what's illegal if you don't have the required tax stamp for them. They're not made with a serial number on them like the receiver is, but owning the parts OUT of the receiver is just as serious a crime as owning an unregistered full auto firearm.

Even removing them and throwing them away out of an M-2 Carbine won't make that receiver legal if it's not a registered machine gun. And you do hear of them coming up from time to time. If a veteran of Korea decided to bring home his Carbine, and feared registering it back in 1986, thinking he'd get busted for theft from the military, and hid it away at home and passed away

What your not understanding is any assault rifle doesnt have to be full auto to be an assault rifle ! thats like saying a chevy isnt a chevy because its got a standard transmissiom !

accessories

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.

And in case you missed it , you cant sell full auto anything except with a special licence !

Sorry but you need to sign up for their catalog and on-line specials !And yes they have many ! right now they are selling the south afrikan assault rifle the PTR -93, so I guess you need to do some research !

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.

I beg to differ , check out cdnn in texas !

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.

Easy , If there arent any for sale then these folks wont get one !

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.

Well I'm familiar with the AR platform and changing the lower reciever is a snap and the trigger assembly is a little more involved but can be done in an afternoon with instructions off the internet !And so yes it's possible and yes there are very few who are able to afford the process to own them legally ! Thats the key word now isnt it !
