“This persistent confusion, 25 years after California enacted the first ‘assault weapon’ ban, is a product of a deliberately deceptive strategy encouraging people to conflate military-style guns with actual machine guns. That strategy has been so successful that the debate over ‘assault weapons’ is almost literally meaningless, with people supporting a policy they do not understand.” – Jacob Sullum in If It Feels Good, Do It [via reason.com]
Curiously similar to racism, judging things solely by the aesthetics of the object. I guess people look for things to hate based solely on looks. How ignorant, how immature.
Private companies can do as they please to make there customers happy just glad the government hasn’t decided to get involved to screw things up
what would be GREAT is if the online shops would do it, too!
I completely agree. Some people, new to the subject, are legitimately ignorant of the types and terminology. However, the ones for whom this has been “bread & butter” for many years are only confused when they want to be. Feinstein and Schumer don’t say assault rifle out of ignorance. Bloomberg doesn’t actually think all ARs run fully automatic. It serves their purposes to to be disingenuous.
What I really want to know is why is this shortage happening?
I find it hard to believe that ammo manufacturers would not be running shop 24/7 and cashing in on this surge. It doesn’t make sense at all. What makes sense is that they are either diverting production to very high volume contracts or there is a shortage of components.. Doubling the price of ammo and not selling much of it doesn’t work for them either…
I can speculate all day long and still be wrong. We will not know the real reasons until TTAG contacts the ammo and component manufacturers with a “wassup?”. How about it guys?
That’s awesome!
On a side note, maybe that occupy the NRA guy was in the military. Ok, sarcasm off, that gives him way too much credit 😉
What a shock… the break laws and then cover it up president lied…
“I cannot obey that order, sir”
Possibly the most courageous thing a soldier can ever say.
since my post earlier failed to post (it was called spam) I will try once again. The little king said skeet shooting would be more fun without that darned teleprompter in the way.
Evil libtards. Lets sniff Zyklon-B, in the name of the children.
Under this law, would it be permissible to “drone “Alex Jones if he were to leave the country to travel? This is a very slippery slope. I’m not an AJ follower, but he must be considered some sort of threat to someone in government. When will it turn from it’s OK to kill terrorists to it’s OK to kill the AJs of the world. I do not like this.
