both actually.

the one on top is a Mauser type action,, designed SOLELY for the purpose of killing people, annd issued to the military forces of many nations.

Hunting has NEVER been the driving force in weapon development, defense is the spur on that score.

My grandpappy's deer rifle, a Remington model 8, was designed by John Browning as a proposed self loading rifle for the US army.
My Enfield was designed as an infantry weapon, not a hunting weapon.
My Sig Sauer pistol was designed to kill people, not ducks.
Even the round my sig uses was developed for the FBI to take down perps, not to bag deer.
My shotgun is a direct descendant of the blunderbuss, which was developed for repelling boarders on ships at sea, not taking the christmas goose.
My revolver was developed for killing men, not securing a rabbit for my stewpot.

hell even my crossbow and longbow were weapons of war long before they were employed in hunting.

i will not concede that the AR15 is unsuitable for hunting. many pest critters are best handled by a rifleman using a high velocity low mass round like the .223, including coyotes, groundhogs, prairie dogs, javelina,wild horses, trespassers and dope thieves.

To be fair, I don't know for a fact she's your wife. I'm sure there's more than one pizza faced, fat assed WaffleHouse waitress in Portland. But she did say she had a sexless marriage with an unemployed lard ass who couldn't control his bladder or bowels, and spends all his time ranting incoherently ranting on the internet.

Grits are a standard selection in IHOP, Dennys and several other nationwide eat-em-up joints. they got grits in every supermarket in northern california (usualy quick grits, but if you look a little you can find the real deal too.)

Do you have any idea how kooky that sounds? Know the names of the Children! Embed them in your brain!

All towns and villages must have a Nut Shrine to keep these names sacred!

You are driving along with your eyes closed if you think this way. I'll go on record to say I don't know and don't want to know the names of dead kids. For you to throw that and insist in a 2nd A discussion is sick, imo.

And yet it shows the depth of the emotion tamping. Get a grip. How can memorizing names be anything but EMOTION? Crying about it?

I love grits. If mana fell from heaven it would be like grits. And dinks are dinks, bound to bash something. I love the South and grew up there. It is much less racist btw, than say, South Boston today.

About "assault" "weapons" "arms"

Oh, my buddy, CheezRice. All arms are designed with only one purpose. It has not changed. The 2nd is about only one thing.

It doesn't require gunpowder, either. Long before gunpowder, there was force of arms.

Arms are about only one thing and I think you know this. It is red herring and other false argument to say otherwise.

Arms are for killing people. That's it.

if grits fell from heaven we would all have to pray for a rain of gravy.

suasage gravy, with biscuit hailstones.
 
Wow, a lot of people are worried about their guns in this politics section. There's going to be national riots if they do take the right to bear arms away.
 
I fought for many years, recent wars, because I made an agreement and upheld my obligation to our elected leadership, regardless of my own opinion. I did so in belief that our forefathers might have had an idea or two that has worked a few hundred years. Do bad things happen to good people; sure. Even though we are animals, as humans, we should have the intellect to know that knee jerk reactions, and taking our tools away (and our freedoms), is not the answer....political gain maybe, but not the answer. We should continue to educate, hold people accountable for his/ her actions, and remember the documents and following that has allowed us to make it this far. This is our freedom, for which I should continue to enjoy and for which you should remember the many that have died because they supported the idea of a free country and people. That does not mean you have to agree with every idea, but you must think bigger than yourself, for the good of the people, and support the documents that give you these freedoms, as they were written.

I would like to say that I can support our government without question moving forward, but if they continue to make changes to the ideas and laws that have made our country great, I will have some hard choices to make. And on the same hand, I support you for having the freedom to form your own decisions and opinions against firearms, but I can tell you that more control is not the end all answer to peace. I can kill you with my thumb, my foot, my elbow, the list goes on, so at what point do we realize it is the person who makes the choice to unlawfully take a life and not the manner in which they do it. I wish the government and it's people would focus this energy behind the Veteran's benefits and promises that were made to me and my brothers, because there are brutal in your face facts that no one can contest. Yet, the average veteran has to wait almost two years for help (if you can even call it that), and if you make over $34,000 per year, regardless of the cost of living, and even though you gave 12 years of your life in the Army, the government says you aren't eligible to receive benefits for your ailments that were caused fighting for your country and your freedoms. My lifespan and quality of life has been cut short because of this country and it's decisions, and rarely do I stand on my soap box because it is not my character, but after this latest issue, I needed to vent. Hell, I am only on this forum because I find it hard to stand up some days, and others I can't close my eyes because of the memories. Ever have your buddies brain matter on your face? But due to the lack of benefits from my country and the fact I don't want to be a slobbering invalid on pills, I have educated myself on medical mj and am trying that route. If Uncle Sam isn't going to uphold his end, at least let me die a soldier with my firearm. It is my choice.

I just realized another point. Assault weapons are not designed to kill, but to wound. Good to have half the enemy rendering aid to the other half. A shotgun, the gun that won the West, is a killer.

I was reading more about Australia. Shotguns are allowed if registered, etc. But, they don't count in the handgun and rifle deaths.
