What’s an assault weapon?

You are referencing times when people defended themselves with their gun, I'm talking about mass shootings. Certainly everyone has the right to defend themselves in any way they can. No one's trying to take your guns away dear Lord, but the continued push back for background checks makes no sense there are too many mentally ill people getting guns for the sole purpose of murdering innocent people.
 
I didn't say I was leaving I was saying goodbye to you. Anything to add from my post? You're okay with mentally ill people buying guns without any background check?
Yep - I perfectly okay with that. Next

Of course you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. Men like you can't see past your noses to see your second amendment rights are taking innocent lives every day.
 
How about you wake up and realize we cannot continue to allow severely mentally ill people to buy weapons that can kill large numbers of people in a short amount of time. Connect the dots severely mentally ill people are slaughtering innocent children and people all the time in this country
Well if you want to have a discussion about mental illness and it's treatment (or failure thereof in the US), have at it. Has nothing to do with banning guns.

I have no problem with handguns and I think most Americans don't either, but when people are showing up with magazines in assault rifles and killing large numbers of people and there's no background checks that is insanity. We have millions of severely mentally impaired people and some are purchasing guns for the sole purpose of killing people. The tragedy in Atlanta last week is an example, that shooter bought that gun the same day as he killed all those Asian women.

So if so called "assault" weapons are banned, what's to stop the mentally ill from using a hand gun instead?
 
The killer in Atlanta used a 9mm handgun... and it wasn't just "Asian" women.

Exactly it does not matter about the weapon even handguns 15 round clip one in the chamber and a back up clip can dump just as many rounds into you as an AR 15
 
I got one of these, some states say it's an 'assault rifle'.

Not a "RIFLE".:D:D:D

It's a "CARBINE":):):)

Lets see if Ms. Troll can figure out the semantics:rolleyes::oops:

I've got one also. Lotta fun at the range. The "original" M1 is more fun, though.

Ok Tim and Woody. Seriously how do you like them? I am considering one as well as a 9mm Carbine.

"United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1" .30 carbine design by Winchester with input from David M. Williams

actually a completely different design from the

"U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1" .30-06 (7.62x30mm) caliber the Garand design by Springfield Armory

but just semantics...
 
Don’t shoot it a lot, but is pretty accurate out to 100-200 yards.

Even saw a guy use one in a Garand match(all @200yds), and he did not come in last.

Would have NO qualms about hunting deer or burglars with it.
