    Assault weapons are wholly unrequired for home defense.

    Assault weapons have been banned since the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. If you're referring to a semi-automatic rifle, you're getting into a gray area with a lot of legitimate owners of hunting rifles which bear no physical resemblance to the semi-automatic rifles making the news. These owners also vote.

    I suppose if someone doesn't like the gun laws in their state, they are
    free to move to another state with more suitable laws, as well. Heck, there's even whole countries with no gun laws, and minimal laws all-around for that matter.

    some people cant afford to move states even if rights or liberties are better elsewhere.

    That sounds like their problem, not mine. If you're that poor, where you cannot afford to move, sounds like buying AR15's and SKS's should be the last thing on your mind.



    well ar15's arent expensive.

    and just because you cant afford to move, it doesnt mean you are poor.
    it cost me a LOT of money just to move 2 freaking blocks down the street.

    also if you like where you are employed there's that factor.

    Of course not. Which is why the military didn't select that weapon, and any police force that tried them out has since switched out.

    Damn, that weapon shouldn't even be sold, for pure market reasons:
    Inaccurate as all heck, and about the only good thing about it is due to the gas piston design, it requires less judicious cleaning than the AR platform.

    Moving is as little as $250, per person. Greyhound can get you from NYC to

    Of course not. But, specific weapons make warfighting much easier. Which is why the US military settled on the M16 and M4 as the weapon of choice: It's perfectly designed for war.

    store the weapons properly.

    Same here. I actually have no problem with gun ownership, even of M2 machine guns. As long as the person is routinely checked out, and is subject to a militia commander. Basically, own any weapon you want, if you are in a
    militia that is well regulated. Yahoos running around using assault weapons
    as a phallic replacement is not what the second amendment is for.

    It's also not for whacko wanna be cops to run around and play sheriff in the wild-wild-west.

    Yes. I do on occasion. The 5.56 and .223 rounds are not powerful rounds,
    and were selected to bring a man down, but not kill them 9/10 times. Because it take 3 people to get a wounded soldier off the battlefield, and 0 to call
    a person as dead, and recover later. A deer would laugh your round off, as would most other game.

    Adding to this, the cleaning requirements for the AR/M16/M4 platform, you're asking to be spending more time cleaning your weapon, than hunting.

    I'd personally look like an idiot, IMO, shooting game with a rifle
    styled after an assault rifle. But, to each his/her own...

    You're not the only one who would look like an idiot doing so. Anyone taking an AR15 hunting looks like a gun nut weekend warrior wannabe.

    From what I understand they were also designed to be lighter than a standard battle rifle round. Lighter rounds = more rounds per soldier.

    Because it take 3 people to get a wounded soldier off the battlefield, and 0 to call a person as dead, and recover later. A deer would laugh your round off, as would most other game.

    Very true about the deer lol... Yes, the M16 issues were bad, they've gotten better, a little. Mostly, though, people just were better trained in the
    care of the weapon. Until it's introduction, the battle rifle could be dirty as all heck, and still fire. Just like the AK platform, as the tolerances are not as close.

    Here in NY, a good friend of mine is a convicted felon, because he sold crack to an undercover cop back in like 1998. He was a teenager, but
    now, he's almost 40, a hard-working man, and still can't protect his family with anything other than knives, and people who are STILL acting like criminals are walking around outside his door with who knows what..

    So, you consider it a problem that a crack dealer is prohibited from owning guns?

    Um, when he became a drug dealer, he knew (Or should have known) he was at
    risk of becoming a felon.

    So, no. His right to own a tool for killing was removed due to him being a drug dealer. And, no, he wasn't a teenager, as his record would have been sealed from review if he was. Unless you count 18 & 19 as a "teenager".

    That being said, where in NYS does one require a gun to protect themselves
    and their family? Why can't his wife just buy a gun? Was she a drug dealer too?

    That would be insane if people had to go that route. I could just see any use of such being classified as terror right out of the gate.


    Name a state where the right to own a gun has been taken away, or any state where it's even been proposed?


    I don't know that much, but I know CA really had limitations on what where and how related to guns. If you can't carry a gun, transport a gun, load a gun or have effective parts to support the tool (gun) whats the difference for right to own it.

    I see guns as a tool and its not the gun that is some much dangerous as the person with the gun, just like a person with a truck, or knife, or hammer, or whatever. Now comparing how effective it is at dealing with tyranical soverigns yes the type of tool really does matter.

    Besides the funny thing is the law doesn't stop criminals from getting guns, and using them illegally. That's what nobody really talks about on TV (media). They say they want to change laws for the safety of us all but how does that stop poeople that don't follow the law who would otherwise be the people breaking into my home or threatening my or my family safety.

    ahhhh I shouldn't get started.

    The same constitutional ammendment that says everyone can own a gun, also
    says that right is not extended to those convicted of a crime.

    So, if you want to blame anyone, blame our Founding Fathers for that one.

    I can't blame the founding fathers, but times have changed. Amendments need mending sometimes.

    When the 2nd amendment became law, drug dealing was legal. Also, states have their own interpretations of the amendment, and also of what they consider to be "a crime."

    It should be "a crime" for laws not to get updated when changes are overdue.

    Convicted murderers can register guns in some states, while convicted drug offenders in other states can't. This is the part that bothers me about it
    the most.

    You might be glad that people who made mistakes when they were teenagers
    can't own guns now, but it would make more sense if violent offenders were
    the only ones with their gun rights stripped.

    I also disagree with the voting rights being taken away from convicts. Unless they were convicted of voter fraud.

    k ³ can own a gun, you are exercising your constitutional right. Just because
    k ³ it's well regulated, that doesn't mean you're not able to exercise it.
    k ³
    k ³ I like to use NYS as an example. People claim we have the most draconian g

    k ³ tools of war, just like we've banned hand grenades and ICBM from general
    k ³ ownership.
    k ³

    New York DOES have among the most draconian gun laws in the nation. They
    even have some proposed that would make Kalifornia look mild in comparison.
    For example, a law was put forth that would limit ammunition purchased to
    twice the ammo capacity of the firearm. Since the SAFE law limits weapons
    to a 7+1 ammo load, that would mean a maximum of 16 round of ammo permitted
    for purchase per weapon. New York City is so anal on gun laws, that a
    friend of mine was jacked by two cops with THEIR weapons drawn just because
    he was carrying a .22 rifle, IN A HARDSIDED, LOCKED CASE, from an indoor shooting range to his car!

    In New York, my 80's era Smith and Wesson Model 645 would be illegal
    because it has an eight round magazine capacity. In New York, my Taurus
    PT-145 would be illegal because of its 10 round magazine (and possibly
    because of the Picatinny rail). My Maverick 88 12 gauge would be illegal,
    I can load 8 rounds into the tube. My Ruger 10/22, with a 10 round
    magazine would be illegal. I couldn't legally own my Hi-Point carbine nor
    my AR style MODERN SPORTING RIFLE regardless of the magazine capacity of
    either one. New York's gun laws do NOTHING to prevent any type of crime committed with guns within the state. Outlawing modern defensive firearms
    only results in the law-abiding populace being made defenseless against a heavily armed criminal element, and guarantees that Albany can ride
    roughshod over the rights of the citizenry because unlike the citizenry of 1775, they haven't the strength of arms to resist the ruling class.

    Um, I live in NY. No such law has ever been proposed in the legislature, AFAIK. As far as the SAFE Act's limit, that was struck down by the NY courts.

    I can't speak too much as far as NYC goes. I don't live there. However,
    given the fact I know lots of gun owners in NYC, who go to the range often, I will hazard he was already in trouble for something else.

    Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. All of those would have been legal.

    As far as gun laws not preventing criminals from getting guns, the #'s of failed background checks per month disagrees.

    And, FWIW, in 1797, the US passed a law requiring all gun owners present
    their weapons for inspection monthly (Militia Acts of 1797).

    laws were created in a way so they enforced just enough but they could be rendered inert or interpreted and changed by judges and other methods.

    most likely, he can't have a gun in the house where he resides in, otherwise, he'd be able to use the gun himself just as easily as she would, when she's not there.

    What I find funny about what people call "assault rifles" is that for the most part, they are no different than a hunting .22 rifle.

    I mean many of them chamber .22 and "look" like a tactical weapon but really don't hold any more rounds, or fire any faster, than a mossberg plinkster.

    I get the argument against fully auto larger round hi capacity magazines or clips.

    But I mean imagine the damage a person in a movie theater can do with a
    shotgun and only 5 shells. A person may survive a .22 round. Something out of
    a shotgun?
    I own firearms.
    I hate firearms.

    Its a tough thing to deal with... on the one hand, i wish nobody had them and they were never invented.

    On the other, I'm glad i have mine.

    And I picked up a .22lr rifle as well... Next may be a S&W M&P 1522

    What kind? I have a Ruger 1022 that I am found of.

    LOVE my 10/22! Did pick up a S&W M&P15 Sport awhile back also. Haven't got
    to take it out plinking yet though.

    I got a cheap Mossberg Plinkster .22 with a basic scope. It's not bad considering how affordable they are and that I got it for my sons to learn with.

    One of the good things about .22's is that you can often find a decent, and affordable, one for things just like that. Many of them are more affordable than a break-barrel springer air rifle.
