If heaven forbid guns are removed from law-abiding citizens then what safety mechanisms are in place to remove guns from criminals and gang bangers? Your hollow libturd appeal it is for the children is hollow and ignorant as you obviously fail to comprehend that the police re under NO obligation to protect your ignorant backside if the risk is too great to their safety. The NRA obviously sees the grand scheme of things far better than your narrow liberal eyes and it is not bout money it is centered upon independence and rights. |

Quoting: Little Willow I wouldnt use that argument because it can be defeated by the gun rights infringers. Everything about the civilian AR is the same except for 3 round burst in the military M4. And since our military rarely uses the 3 rd burst anyway and almost always uses semi-auto, its really like they are using a civilian AR for all practical purposes. Any argument that can be so easily defeated is one that shouldnt be used because it harms you and your side more. There are no sides. Just stop already. |

AR-15: Lower recievers are not mil-spec to M-16 type weapons standards (metalurgically, dimensions are a bit thinner, etc). Barrels have different twist rates. Not all AR-15 types are rated to fire the higher pressure 5.56x45 ammuntion, but use .223 instead. Most AR-15 barrels are not metalurgically equivalent, nor up to the ruggedness demaned by the milspec for M-16 variants. M-16 variants have a chromed lined chamber and barrel, not all AR-15s have that. Etc, etc, etc There's a lot more differences. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35346045 The only difference between the civilian AR-15 and a military M4/M16 is the military version has an additional selection for either 3 round burst on some guns or straight full-auto on others. Besides this, the two are the same. And given that in combat our military rarely uses anything other than semi-auto anyway, and instead prefers controlled semi-auto fire for almost all situations, they are the same for all practical purposes. While I think that quibbling over such matters is bad form when trying to debate anti-gunners, the information listed here is technically incorrect. AR-15: Lower recievers are not mil-spec to M-16 type weapons standards (metalurgically, dimensions are a bit thinner, etc). Barrels have different twist rates. Not all AR-15 types are rated to fire the higher pressure 5.56x45 ammuntion, but use .223 instead. Most AR-15 barrels are not metalurgically equivalent, nor up to the ruggedness demaned by the milspec for M-16 variants. M-16 variants have a chromed lined chamber and barrel, not all AR-15s have that. Etc, etc, etc There's a lot more differences. There are many civilian AR's sold in the US that have all the mil-spec features except full-auto. To say they are not the same because some* civilian AR's do not meet mil-spec requirements is dumb. |

Pleading': Sandy Hook mother whose daughters survived the massacre describes girls' PTSD an It's irritating how people think an AR15 is a military style weapon. It fires one shot at a time, with a very small caliber bullet. I'm so sick of this ignorance. It's not rocket science to understand, but people don't even try. They just lap up what is fed to them. Quoting: Little Willow Distinction of firearms for the general populous is scientifically impossible. It fires 5.56 mm, which is the standard NATO military round. It is nothing like a shotgun.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37062306 I do not care what crime is committed. You DO NOT EVER infringe on the rights of the whole because of what a criminal does. My wish is that these simple words will go viral and spread like wildfire. It will crush the enemy. Exactly. One day of murders does not mean you drop the 2nd amendment. Anyone who wants to infringe on our right to bear arms is nothing short of a terrorist and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. |
