The problem with semi-auto guns
The problem I have with semi-auto guns is that they're quite already close to being fully automatic deathmachines. My friend had bought a semi auto rifle and WITH A SHOESTRING changed it to fully auto. I think we should ban semi auto firearms also.

7 RepliesWell, you reported him to the authorities, right? That's a federal crime.

1 ReplyCan't semi autos just be fired as fast as someone can pull the trigger?

1 ReplyYes, let's ban everything I don't like.

When a person dresses up in a Master Chief costume. Gets a weapon that resembles the BR, slaps the UNSC label on it and goes somewhere and starts firing. Oh boy the reaction, I'm hoping that never happens.

1 ReplyEdited by HurtfulTurkey: 1/16/2013 7:26:39 PMYour friend did not make his weapon fully auto with a shoestring. And if somehow through black magic he managed to do that, it's a felony.

Edited by Prometheus25: 1/16/2013 7:33:15 PMI am very much afraid of the well being of our children in school. When I am a parent, I want to know, to the best degree possible, that my son or daughter will be safe. It is completely unacceptable not to pass laws that enforce manufacturers to produce safe products. I see [i]dozens[/i] of innocent kids on the school buses as I am traveling to and from work, and the thought of many of them getting hurt, or suffering a terrible and tragic fate, is heart-wrenching. It's up to us pass regulations and ENFORCE these issues. Will you look into your future son's eyes, or lie to your future daughter, telling them you will do everything possible to protect them? This is why automobile manufactures must only produce vehicles that can't exceed 70MPH. If some [i]leadfoot[/i] who isn't paying attention, disregarding the safety of these CHILDREN by talking on a cell phone, they could hit one of these school buses as RIDICULOUS speeds, causing these poor, innocent children to die.

3 RepliesSo we should only have bolt action rifles, muzzle loaders, breech loading shotguns, and revolvers?

I think we should ban shoestrings, as they allow people to make semi-auto rifles virtually fully automatic.

Edited by MurcSpyder: 1/16/2013 7:20:40 PMSemi-automatic just means that it fires ONE round every time you squeeze the trigger, and that the next round loads in the process. A revolver is a semi-automatic firearm and it is nowhere close to being a fully automatic military weapon.

1 ReplyEdited by Recon Number 54: 1/16/2013 3:33:15 PMIf I had a choice between a semi-automatic rifle and a full, I would choose the semi. Without hesitation and every time. Full auto is a pointless and almost useless feature in nearly every application and use other than suppression fire in combat. Full auto is a waste of ammunition (do you know how long those "dangerous" 30 round mags last on full auto with a cyclic rate of 600-700 rpm), target acquisituion and proper aim is lost, and they are murder on the system as far as heat, wear and tear. The only people who think that rate of fire, magazine size, or accessories are what make a firearm "super lethal" are the same twats who think that the AR and AK platforms are "high-powered rifles". In other words, they watch way too many movies, watch WAY too much television news and action shows, and know little to nothing about the things that terrify them into fear-based reactions.

The problem with gun regulation is just like you said - there are easy ways around it that anyone can do in their garage. That can't be prevented by the gun manufacturer in any meaningful way. So like you said, that regulation in and of itself doesn't do much in the way of crime prevention. Same thing if you decided to ban certain types of ammunition - anyone with any sense could make their own if they wanted to.

I dont think I will have the energy to keep arguing points that are self evident. If you want to ban guns go ahead and see what happens.

We should also ban cars, cuz people can use those to kill people.
