The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle with a cyclic rate of fire ~ 15 rpm. Automatic rifles, like an M16, have a cyclic rate of fire ~ 600-1000 rpm.dbackjon wrote:WELL REGULATED.

An AR-15 should not be able to be purchased ANYWHERE.

A kid gets run over by a drunk driver in Iowa and nobody outside of Iowa hears about it. A kid falls into a well in Iowa and the entire country is riveted until he is rescued. Go figure.

The AR-15 is designed to look tactical and therefore people think it's an assault rifle.
I'm not a gun person so my numbers are probably off. Someone feel free to double check.
correct me? Even then..the civilian AR still is not an "assault rifle" by definition.ALPHAGRIZ1 wrote:They are offIbanez wrote:The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle with a cyclic rate of fire ~ 15 rpm. Automatic rifles, like an M16, have a cyclic rate of fire ~ 600-1000 rpm.

It is according to the 94 AWB because of characteristics like a bayonet lug, compensator, vertical trigger grip, etc. It's been so long now since that abomination of a bill finally sunset that I forget all of the stupidity of it. Go back and read it though. It's all there.Ibanez wrote:correct me? Even then..the civilian AR still is not an "assault rifle" by definition.ALPHAGRIZ1 wrote:They are off

https://centerjd.org/cjrg/Numbers.pdf65,000 to 200,000 The minimum annual number of deaths due to medical accidents, according to hospital records. For comparison: The annual total of all other causes of accidental death is 98,000, of which 46,000 are from auto crashes and 11,000 are from workplace accidents.
25,000 to 120,000 The minimum number of the above deaths due to negligence. That is, deaths caused by medical malpractice each year.

BTW, I'm NOT for installing breathalyzers in cars, but IMO it really would have a greater impact on saving lives.

Right, but my guess is a LARGE part of medical malpractice "victories" are borderline malpractice at best. Our society is far too litigious and folks don't like the fact that medicine is not a perfect science.Col Hogan wrote:89Hen wrote:Hogie, you do lose me a little on that one.

Medical malpractice...did you miss that number???
Black weapons matter.AZGrizFan wrote:The AR is nowhere near a "standard soldier's small arms weapon", nor is it an 'assault rifle". It's a **** scary looking .223. One might go so far as to say gun control nuts are racist because its scary and black.BDKJMU wrote: Which in 18th century jargon meant proficient in arms. You anti gun nuts are too ignorant to know that.
The standard soldier’s small arms weapon has always been legal to purchase, so an AR should be able to be purchased ANYWHERE. You don’t want one? Simple- don’t buy one.
