I hate googling responses but... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=91913260
I agree that there are circumstances that require regulation..no problems with a "reasonable"background check..hell they do CORI's on school bus drivers. The key here is reasonable, not a system that seeks to exclude without proper cause. As far as dancing around your question..I think you're just not hearing the answer you want. Again..if I buy an aftermarket stock and throw it on my old Rem.1100 it meets the definition of assault weapon...it's no different than a "street sweeper" except for how it "looks" There is no public "machine gun" ownership without extensive ATF review which effectively eliminates most public ownership. MA's high capacity magazine reg.is a law that I think gun owners should be willing to live with that would satisfy many opposed to "assault weapons" but gun laws being made by those with no knowledge of what they are talking about are unacceptable. Do you like lawyers making medical decisions... politicians making education decisions?

What's the best legally available assault weapon if you're thinking of going up in a bell tower for a little Texas-style target practice?

I want something accurate with knock-down power. It has to be automatic with a large capacity clip because I've noticed the filth tend to run like the #^&#^&#^&#^&ens once you open up on them.

Might want to add a little when making statements like that!

Barrett .50 cal. sniper rifle...US military approved..they can run but they can't hide!
I now resume my usual "liberal" programming.

That .50 cal could probably cut someone in half at 1000 meters. Quite a sexy piece of machinery.

Sheez, Chicago thugland has some pretty tough "gun laws"yet still has over 400 murders per year. Gee I hope PBO & Crew brings this to America where it seems most likely the murder rate would go up. Sarc Off.

Also Why do we need trucks/autos, motorcylces that go over 55-65Mph?

Why own a gun/assualt weapon? Because I do not want to be a victim, a slave of the state or depend on LE to be there.

I was going to reply to your post. Until you displayed you're an ignorant a*s, completely incapable of grownup discussions. You're an idiot.

just as a side note. I purchased a 580 seires Mini-14 last year. I was impressed. Much more accurate than my pop's older version.

Ok...just to get things back to a "civil discussion" around here...as someone who still has a KTM 495 and CR 250 sitting in the cellar.. a pair of Tony Lama's in the closet... and my "liberal gun owner" credentials in my wallet... I'm gonna personally vouch for MXcowboy. And even if that's not you crossed up 20 feet in the air....maybe you stayed at a Holiday Inn last night. ;-) And Spence...MOTOR BIKE!!...you been listening to old beach boys records?
