- Actually he didn't say the AR-15 was fully automatic. But even so, it's not hard to see why people can make that mistake when there are conversion kits and guides readily available on the Internet.
People aren't stupid. It's not that much of a stretch to take a weapon based on a fully automatic assault rifle and convert it.

Now tell me how easy it is to convert an ar-15 to full auto....02-20-2013 11:00 PMLike 0 -
That isn't rational. Get some knowledge, before you have an opinion. Honestly, you're a bright guy. Don't accept less from yourself. Keeping an opinion, after facts prove it wrong, only makes you look foolish.
I wish you the best. And I'm willing to help. But you have to be willing to be helped.

The goal of gun control is to extend those laws to cover assault rifles with large capacity magazines. Mr. Biden is explaining how there are viable alternatives to self defense, namely, the shotgun and it's variants.

Its not to get high powered guns banned, there are far far more powerful guns that are legal.
Its not to drastically reduce gun deaths when most homicides are done with pistols.
Its not to stop high capacity killing when someone with 10rd magazines could achieve the same effect.....who is going to charge someone with a gun?
Tougher laws addressing the criminals and maybe just maybe, the "grace" of GOD, will reduce violence in our streets.
Sure, if you remove an ar15, you may remove the chance of another newtown but you may have also prevented a person's ability to defend themselves as well. Yep, both of them could use another type of gun....logic runs both ways.
There's another underlying power going after the "ar15" and when they get that they'll target other weapons until voila, guns are gone. Then you'll see who the real criminals are!Live2ride883 likes this.02-20-2013 11:51 PMLike 1 - So you think it's OK to make criminals out of millions of Americans that own these weapons legally because of the actions of a few criminals?
If we're gonna go there then let's outlaw cars due to the actions of a minority of people that drive under the influence of alcohol and injure/kill other people. I can safely say there were more people killed due to drunk drivers last year than there were by ar-15's

Now, Timoney says, the number is about 21 percent.
He may just be more intellectually honest, experienced, and knowledgeable than all the 2nd amendment chickenhawks - combined.

The county sheriff is usually considered the chief law enforcement officer of that county, giving the sheriffs office superiority over the police chief.
Also in Florida.

- Wrong again. Military weapons are used on duty because they are deemed most appropriate ("superior" or not) for their intended use ... by those above him in government.02-21-2013 05:28 AMLike 0
- The government of the United States is tasked with public safety on civil and military levels. Within its pervue, it always has, is, and shall delineate which weapons will be produced for the public market and which are produced solely for military use.
