    An AR-15 is NOT a machine gun.

    I'll be looking forward to this case going before the Supreme Court. And it will. The statements issues by the Justices were CLEARLY biased, and not written impartially.

    You're son's a lucky dude. They're not cheap, and it's a PITA to get one.

    EDIT: oh, an AR-15. Got it.

    Why do people always bring up machine guns?

    They're almost impossible to get legally.

    A) They're 10k minimum.

    B) They require an expensive and difficult to acquire tax stamp from the ATF.

    C) They're expensive to shoot.

    What was the last crime committed with a machine gun? I swear, liberals love to talk about machine guns, but they're essentially a collectors piece. It's no different than someone owning an old WWII tank. Are you guys worried about all the reenactors and militaria guys staging an uprising with their antique armor? I can see it now..... 60 year old man conquers Portland in his Sherman tank! Oh the humanity!

    Man I love Pitas, but if you traded one for an AR-15 then I think you got a bad deal.

    There was a teacher from my high school that owned a half track. After he retired (and was maybe a bit senile) the dude would put on WWII helmet and cruise it up and down the city streets in the middle of the day, waving at people. It was awesome.

    And I am extremely jealous of that man. I would LOVE to have an old piece of WWII armor... but they run about 250k, so your choice is a house... or a tank.

    Define "a weapon protected under the second amendment."

    I'm no gun expert, I just knew the definition of assault rifle because it's been in the news recently.

    Same reason people say kleenex when they mean tissue, or pork when they mean unidentified-meat-served-at-chinese-restaurant.

    They aren't trying to be precise.

    But that would be like calling a Clorox disinfectant wipe a Kleenex. Sure, you could wipe your nose with it, but I doubt it's going to go well for you.

    It also annoys the shit out of me when people call an armored car a "tank." For example, I once read a news report that said something to the effect of, "Police use tanks on protesters at oil pipeline."

    A tank has a big ass gun on it. An armored car does not. Seems pretty simple.

    If you are going to go around correcting everyone's incorrect usage of words, you aren't going to have time for much else in life.

    At least that's how it's worked out for me.

    Not that I have any regrets. The battle continues!

    And you think the news media has the correct definition of an "assault rifle"?

    Please tell me you don't believe that nonsense.
