Politics Assault Weapons Not Protected by Second Amendment, Federal Appeals Court Rules

Did you read my definition?

 

I assumed you were speaking of AR-15s; my apologies.

 

I'm not an expert on constitutionality, so I'm not so sure if this is the right decision or not from that perspective. But, just from a logistical perspective I don't really see a ban like this actually making a difference in reducing gun violence. I am a liberal on many issues, but this doesn't seem like it's likely to actually help. I wouldn't mind seeing gun locks/safes required (to own) if you have guns. I think there are a lot of things that we could concentrate on that would make a much stronger impact on gun violence than banning assault rifles.

 

Youre a war vet but youve never needed a gun? Did you just spark up doobies with the enemy?

 

Absolutely agree, except for the requirement for Safes. And most guns already come with locks, or are far easier to purchase than an entire Safe.

As for the rest of your post, I agree. Just addressing education, introducing positive community influences (such as after-school activities), and introducing jobs into the inner-cities would dramatically reduce gang violence, which is the leading cause of crime where a firearm is used. So yes, there are other things that we can do to address this issue more appropriately.

 

Yep. Every gun ive purchased came with a lock. I also agree you cant require a gun safe. But i sure am glad i got mine. Crime rate is insane in my area and i didnt want to be that poor sap that got robbed and his guns were used by thugs to do illegal shit. At night i open the safe incase of an intruder i can snag anything i want on my way out of the bedroom and i can leave everything loaded and lock the safe when i leave.

 

What I meant by lock/safe is that every gun owner should be required to have the ability to lock up each gun they own. So, if they have 12 guns, they could have a safe that holds 12 guns, or they could have 12 locks, or 4 locks and an 8 gun safe. We can't really legislate that they keep every gun locked because they may have one unlocked for a purpose, but if they have the ability to lock up each gun, they are much more likely to use them and hinder children or those without right/permission to access those guns. I also like the idea of requiring greater training for those with carry licenses. I think we need to do a greater job of keeping those with mental issues from obtaining guns. I love the idea of more after school programs, more sports, arts, sciences... Keep kids learning and growing.

I would like to get a Tikka T3 30-06 with a nice Leupold scope for hunting. No need for an AR personally.

 

Finally went to this gun shop my buddies were trying to get me to go to and man am i happy.


There she is. Diamond back chambered in 5.56 2extra 30 round mags. 100 rounds. A fore grip, sure fire light with strobe, and a red dot sight. All for $829 after taxes thanks to my amazing discount. Fucking 'merica!

 

You need to get some Magpul on that sucker.

 

Id like to thank @dviss1 for making this thread and motivating me to finally make my purchase. You the fucking man, sir!

 

That's beautiful! Well done bro!

This. Magpul is just head and shoulders above everyone else. I think I have a Magpul mag for my AK, and it's never failed me.

Or it might be a Tapco mag.....and I definitely have some Bulgarian waffle mags in my bag somewhere...

Indeed, all things are possible through our Lord and Savior Dviss. Amen.

 

Just screwed the pressure switch to the light on the foregrip and discovered the foregrip is hollow and seems to have a holder for 2 123 batteries. Just fucking genius engineering. That light is bright as fuck. It fucking better be at over $100 by itself. Cant wait to hit the range next week!

 

Haha. In all seriousness id never convert one my weapons to full auto. That's a heafty fine and im far too much of a dick to survive long in prison.

 

Yeah, many ARs have hidden compartments for batteries, depending on if your furniture supports it. Tango Down sells forward grips that are waterproof and sealed.

Oh shit. I love that grip designed to take the surfire pressure switch. My mount job worked but that is clean as fuck.
