Strict Restrictions on Assault Rifles

[Wild Cobra]

Obvious trap post is obvious.

So obvious you had to say obvious twice?

[Wild Cobra]

What are you calling an 'assault' rifle ?

Well, this thread isn't about assault weapons...

Look up "assault rifle."

My post was edited to include the part about Texas. The fact you're harping on the fact I edited my post says something about your actual argument.

Please link me to something that corroborates anything you just said about what the government does with agriculture. I'm anxious to find out where you learned what you just said about the government regulating agriculture.

peasants have been fleeced by the government, that's not even news nor any surprise imho. most agricultural goods are sold dust cheap compared to industrial products and those are the harvest of a year's hardwork by those farmers. rednecks just don't know that they should make up a union to protect themselves from being exploited by the bankers-owned government imho. farmers have something in common with the crops grown in the farmland, they're both at the bottom of the food chain

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm pretty sure that's well understood and at the center of DoK's point.

exactly what I thought when I read WC's post

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

No, it's not. The federal government does not give out money. They only redistribute it. You've made that point above and are now ignoring it for the sake of your argument. I hate the freeloading gots as much as anyone, but I also detest the notion that the feds give out money as if they are somehow a profitable en y.

At this point you're simply playing semantics ignoring what my point was.

I guess you're also someone who thinks the government does pretty much the opposite of what it actually does with agricultural commodities.

It's an Internet meme. I'll forgive you for not knowing.

Just like with the gun debate, semantics are important. If you continue to misuse them the terms become part of the vernacular of the discussion, which puts people automatically at odds. If people continue to call all military "style" rifles "assault rifles" they have now created a new category for semi-auto rifles and it will continue to be misused in such a fashion. When you point out to them that assault rifles are fully automatic and heavily regulated, banned already, they scoff and say "you're just playing semantics".

If you don't contribute, you have no room to complain. However, just because your state, as an average, gets back more than it contributes in income taxes doesn't mean you have no room to complain to the federal government since the federal government isn't the en y who pays you anyhow. I don't understand how that's an issue with semantics.

You're right, but that's not contrary to anything I'm saying. The fact your state gets back more than it contributes DOES mean you're really in re ed if you think your state should secede from the union and would be better off without the federal government.

There's not a state in the union that could secede and remain viable. Even Texas would struggle. Secession would so change the dynamics of your business culture that you could not even project your future revenues, regardless how well or poorly you're currently doing.

So you agree it's re ed. I agree any of the 50 states would suffer if they were to secede, I just find it particularly ironic and dumb where the "Secede!" stuff is coming from.

That's the other side of the "I'm moving to Canada" coin. Anytime their side loses, yellow dogs or neocons freak the out and threaten extreme measures. None of them do any of it, and at the end of the day they have dinner together and laugh about the working man who's paying for it all.

The South is anxious to revolt against the big mean federal government that subsidizes every Southern State every year with urban tax dollars

They may get more in subsidies but that does not mean they are warranted subsidies. Plus, the mere fact that those states are being subsidized more does not mean its unjustified that they having beef with the way the federal government regulates iTs spending in specific ways and violates their freedom in specific ways.

would rather move to mexico than live in a commie state that the kenyan n!gger is gonna turn the US into tbh

Can someone define what an assault rifle is for me

An assault rifle is a select-fire (either fully automatic or burst capable) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. It is not to be confused with assault weapons.^[1]

Liberal news media gets it wrong all the time, and liberals parrot the . It makes them seem so idiotic when they call for a ban on assault rifles.

[spursncowboys]

Ok. Well that is illegal in texas. In Texas that is defined as a machine gun. I posted the penal code in it's own post.

It's not illegal in Texas to own an assault rifle.

The definition is not state dependent. An assault rifle is an assault rifle.

[spursncowboys]

An AR 15 is not a machine gun. The m4 or m16 that I use in the military has a burst switch that shoots three rounds everytime you pull the trigger. In my 15 month and 12 month deployments, I have never seen anyone use that selection. We always had it on semi which allowed us to shoot as fast as we can pull the trigger.

Penal code states otherwise. Under your definition of what this made up "assault rifle" is.

It's a misnomer by the "we don't need to know facts before we speak" crowd.
