    Nope still wrong. If we for the moment consider the bump stock fully automatic it still isn't an assault rifle. An assault rifle is select fire.

    The three characteristics that make an assault rifle.

    1. Select fire
    2. Intermediate sized round
    3. Detachable magazine or drum

    This goes all the way back to the Sturmgewehr which is translated assault rifle.

    Well, as long as it doesn't scare the average snowflake, it's not an 'assault weapon'.

    Most certainly if it looked like an assault rifle. Then again the Idiots in Washington have been trying to define what an assault is. For example if anti-gunners were around after WWI they would have classed the Springfield 1903-30.06, P-17 Enfield, Mauser, and the Enfield .303 all assault rifles.

    You left off the best part!!!! " Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment . We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27, Second Amendment extends, prima facie,to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding."

    Then maybe that is what the definition should be around

    Not how it looks but the ability to rapid fire

    It is that ability that is causing the high death rate

    Do you know what penalties you or I would face for concealed carry while drunk? And that's what I want in an honest FBI Terrorism supervisor, too drunk to show for work cant' keep track of his gun and running around with a $6,000 rolex.

    Too bad Sessions in a coma, we really need a top to bottom housecleaning at the FBI.

    Using his AR-15 he stopped the killer from shooting any more innocent people, other than himself. As soon as the Good Samaritan engaged the shooter, all future shots were directed at the Good Samaritan, rather than the unarmed church goers, until the good Samaritan put a round through the gap in his body armor, at which point the shooter dropped his weapon and fled. At which point the good Samaritan waved down the second good Samaritan in a pick up truck and gave chase until the shooter wrecked his vehicle. The suspect then died before the police arrived.

    I'm sure you already know that the military is issued fully automatic weapons while civilians can only buy semi-automatic weapons.

    The high death rate really has as much to do with the skill of the shooter as the rate of fire. Luck (or bad luck) is also a factor

    More rounds (aka bullets) fired doesn't always translate into more deaths just as a hit doesn't always result in a death.

    I'm sorry I can't be more informative but each shooting is different

    $100 says the bill doesnt include the mini-14 semi-auto, high cap mag capable, high velocity 'ranch' rifle and Ruger supports the bill. Just like in 2012.

    FWIW, I went to Cabella's to buy an air-transportable rifle case (they were on sale) and walked out with both the case and an SKS. Beautiful little Yugoslavian version. I'd actually gone to look at their AKs after picking up the case, but saw the SKS's. I didn't like their AKs even though they were only $200 more, but loved the SKSs. Good quality, solid and reliable. Great hog hunting and truck gun.

    Yes, but at great cost and under constant scrutiny. LW anti-gunners keep making it look like anyone by a machine gun through the mail. They are proved to be people who don't speak honestly.

    You're right, I should have specified that civilians cannot buy a NEW fully automatic weapon while you can buy a NEW semi auto. You have to have lots of money(Tens of thousands), a pristine background, go through the BATF & the firearm must have been made prior to 1986

    That SKS is a Curio and Relic the same as any firearm over 50 years old so it does not require an FFL Dealer transfer or background check. I could literally ship one to your door in most states if you have a $30.00 03-FFL Collector License.

    For law abiding citizens that is probably no big deal but to the ignorant anti gun crowd they would be shocked.

    You're right, they're called "C&R" Licenses (Curio & Relic) and many semi automatic firearm qualify as C&R.

    Gun Control and Magical Thinking.

    Based on existing federal gun laws, Kelley’s record made him officially ineligible to buy firearms. But the Air Force failed to submit his records into the federal background-check database, allowing him to purchase the guns used in this weekend’s rampage.

    Folks, that’s an unacceptable “oops.” It also isn’t an isolated incident of negligence. This week, questions have arisen about the military’s reporting system when it comes to domestic-violence cases. Meanwhile, in an interview after the shooting, In 2010 alone, “48,000 felons and fugitives lied and illegally tried to purchase guns. The government prosecuted only 44 of them.”

    Washington must learn to enforce the gun laws they already have before we let them have any new ones.

    Clearly, you are unaware of the specifics of gun-related deaths in the US.
    For 2/3 of them, rate of fire is irrelevant; at least 97% of the remaining do not involve a rifle of any kind.
    As such, your statement in nonsense.

    What's causing the high death rate isn't the weapons, its the person firing the weapon. That's where you folks get it all wrong and it only gets more ridiculous and foolish from there...
