I hope you are being sarcastic otherwise you are showing how woefully ignorant the masses have become by the deluge of the media saying "military style assault weapon". M16 != AR-15. |

Sad how far things have gone when people try to support the 2nd Amendment by accepting that military/police weapons should be forbidden to the people |

They are not forbidden, just more regulated. A person can pay the extra fee and fill out the extra paperwork to acquire an NFA weapon, be it just a silencer or a full auto rifle. It will just take you 6 months or more for the paperwork to come back. Never mind that those weapons retail for more than the price of a small car. As far as the wait time, you are half way there in most places where State police run their own background check before the FFL will release anything to you. |

I didn't call an M16 an AR15, no clue what you are talking about. Are you the director of my commercial? I've handled and fired many different weapons. I was in the US Army from 1986 till 1989. With that being said, I find very little difference between an M16 an an AR15. I think it's very fitting to call an AR-15 a military styled weapon. I don't know if I'd include assault in that description. Oh, I was being sarcastic too. Sounds more like an ad for the next big action movie, than for godaddy or nascar  |

The fact that you listed an M16 and Nascar made me believe you were suggesting they were commonly available to the general public. said by gatorkram:I've handled and fired many different weapons.

True, the AR-15 is styled after the M16. My issue is with the mass media calling semi-rifles in general "assault weapons". Any thing I attack you with is an assault weapon because I'm assaulting you with it as a weapon. Even if I'm The Rock hitting you on the forehead with a Stapler (Get Smart reference) said by gatorkram:Oh, I was being sarcastic too.

I'm seeing Arnold....in...The Last Action Hero 2. |

[/BQUOTE :I think what most people are referring to when talking about "assault weapons" are those semi-automatic rifles/pistols that were conceived, designed and employed with only one function/purpose in mind--assaulting and killing people. |

They are not forbidden, just more regulated. They are most definitely forbidden in California; at least those which made the CalDoJ list under Roberti-Roos, in effect since 1989. |

Here is a clue, free even. All firearms, from the Chinese fire-lance to the GAU-8/A Avenger meet that criteria. Despite that the MSM tries to convince you that there exists a class of firearms not so designed. I own four military weapons, which advanced the state of military firearms when they were introduced: The "ultimate killing machines" of their day ... |
