Even a so-called dumb Alabama redneck kin tell a libtard, "No, thet thar AR on ther side of an AR-15 rifle don't stand fer no diddly-squat "assault rifle." So quit a-sayin' sech stupid shee-it. Thet thar "AR" means ArmaLite Rifle, yuh dumb as a brick son of a bird-brained pecker-wood!"
A semiautomatic rifle can't be classified as an assault rifle because it can only shoot one time per trigger pull.
Now one of those bumper stocks can convert a semiautomatic into a hand-held machine gun. being a full automatic the essence of an assault weapon.
But here in The Gulch me dino is preaching to the choir. Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's just a "so to speak," y'all. So don't all yuh atheists go git yer panties in a wad.
Explain what I just wrote ter some whack-job lib and I'll bet a dollar ter a doughnut thet he/she/it or whutever fits will just turn right around and jabber on about AR-15s being assault weapons.

    I don't know what the word Hispanic means. I don't know if it includes light-skinned people whose family has been in Mexico for generations and has a obvious Mexican accent. I don't know if it includes olive-skinned people from the southern Andalucian region of Spain? If so, does it include Basque people in the north? And if we include them, do we include people who speak Gascon in southern France?

    I don't know what "assault weapon" means either, so I guess it's a very good analogy: both things I don't get and maybe are just political nonsense.

    Wonder if I may nail that underachieving Jeff Sessions, an Alabamian I was once proud to voter for.
    I've been reading speculation he is at heart a swamp denizen and today I read he's again really annoyed Trump. I woulda bounced Sessions by now.
    Been thinking all along Trump should have replaced him the first time Sessions used the word "recuse."

    Me dino completely overlooked target practice. About three years ago at the range, my son was surprised when I could should a little better than he could with his own AR-15.
    I explained that had to NRA qualify with it as a corrections officer each year since around 1985. I retired two weeks after re-qualifying during 2003, but it was nice to learn I had not lost the knack.
    I also had a 9mm carbine modified to fit into the form of an AR-15 because I'm so used to the configuration. I'm allowed to shoot the carbine on the pistol range at the indoor range where I like to shoot.

    Target practice. Quite fun to shoot. Also shooting varmints. Accurate without a shoulder breaking kick.

    Once I put that nasty Parris Island behind me, I considered my next step of combat training to be a lot of fun that I fortunately never had to use for real. Had I been placed in the Army, that may have been a far different story.
    Marines were being pulled out of Nam by 1969. So lucky me missed that boat. I was a supply clerk who never got out of the Carolinas for my entire two years, well, minus two months for a "school cut" when I used the GI Bill to go to college.

    All that is fine. What exactly do you mean by "if y'all think anything beyond basic 6 or so round hand guns and the equivalent capacity rifles are sufficiently fulfilling the second amendment, then I'm done being a lurker."--?
    You began whatever you're trying to say with "I don't know if this will post--"
    Don't worry. Once I lost my temper here and threw a keyboard fit. Instead of kicking me off the board, the higher ups just wiped clean what I wrote.
    And we even have that Obama-voting Circuit Guy still around.

    I drew 32 in the '71 draft. Tricky Dick began pulling troops about then. In College, I met a lot of Vets over the next several years. I salute you, Allosaur!
    Keep "tapping out" those short bursts!

    Interesting. Well, that leaves me with a singular thoroughly selfish all about me question to ask.
    Can your face turn a dinosaur into stone?

    Sure. Hiding in northern Adirondacks. All my buddies hunt, on my property too. They use one of my knolls as a parking area. Nary a one slings a military multi-shot rifle. Me, well I don’t hunt and I don’t have a gun.

    I have an idea as legal gun owners we should start carrying bows and arrows ala Robin Hood and Crossbows. Can you imagine what the likes of CNN , MSNBC and others would make of that. Can you imagine how they would explain them. They would be stumbling all over themselves: Crossbows: semi-automatic arrow What!!!

    I've recently read that the Indians who wiped out Custer's command came with a lot of Henry and Spencer repeating rifles whereas Custer's soldiers used single-shot Springfields prone to jamming because of copper casings that expanded when the projectiles were fired became hard to extract for the reloading process.
    So I guess it's no bull that Sitting Bull assault rifles won that battle.
