This is a ONE TIME ONLY response on atopic that I know dear ZZ has not a clue about.
AS a COMBAT MARINE ZZ, I am going to educate you. I know it won't do any good, but if by some miracle you actually do pay attention, you will not look so absolutely ignorant about weapons.
AR-15 Military version.
THESE are used for assaults and full frontal attacks on enemy and are used a rifle or can be fired from any other position. They can be made automatic, which means squeeze trigger and fire as many rounds at one time with your finger fully depressing the trigger.
THIS is a full auto assault RIFLE. It is a rifle because it has a STOCK that you can actually BUTT against your shoulder for more control of where the bullets will go when you squeeze the trigger.
AR-15 rifle sold to PUBLIC
This is your ordinary hunting rifle dressed up to look like the Military version, only it is is no more lethal than any semi-auto deer hunting rifle.
It just LOOKS COOL. Period. End of story.
FOR accuracy in hunting and shooting, one really only wants to have one bullet be fired when you squeeze the trigger due to "kick".
SO, a Remington or Winchester, or Ruger, Savage, Mossberg, any other semi-auto rifle is NO DIFFERENT than
the AR-15 this turd in Florida used.
The AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle. It is a simple semi-auto hunting rifle that looks really cool with its close resemblance to a military weapon, but it does not have the military capability.
It's like dressing up a YUGO with sheet metal to look like CORVETTE ZR-1
WOW..... It looks like a ZR-1. Has the appearance.
Has the LOOK. BUt when I drive it, it is still a YUGO...
It seems that ALL the GUN GRABBERS willfully show their utter IGNORANCE and LACK OF KNOWLEDGE about firearms in their RUSH and HASTE to spew out NON-FACTUAL terms of what a weapon is that has been MIS_USED by someone that a LIBERAL SCHOOL administration KEPT from being charged criminally by local police all 39 times the cops came to get him and charge him.
This way, the bleeding hearts of the SCHOOL were responsible for this KILLER NOT to have a criminal record so consequently, he could legally go purchase ANY weapon that is legal for public citizens to have.
HAD the criminal record been on his record, when the background check came up, he would NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE to buy a GUN of ANY kind.
SO
Have you learned that when you squeeze the trigger and only ONE BULLET fires, that is called a SEMI-automatic ?
NOT an ASSAULT RIFLE? It is a dressed up normal everyday hunting rifle MAD TO LOOK like, and catch the eyes of VAIN people who want to look like they have a real AR 15.
They don't. They have a YUGO in Corvette ZR-1's clothing
Lesson is now concluded.
