assault rifle isn't synonymous with auto fire since most aren't used that way anyway. it was just a term first used to differentiate rifles that were bolt action or didn't us a mag design

2018-03-31 19:20:02 UTC  

Then we have to go with "what do you mean by assault rifle" question.

He's a US vet btw

2018-03-31 19:20:12 UTC  

Acording to the title

2018-03-31 19:20:15 UTC  

Not true contrabantz

2018-03-31 19:20:46 UTC  

>The term assault rifle is generally attributed to Adolf Hitler

2018-03-31 19:20:47 UTC  

An assault rifle is a select-fire intermediate caliber small arm

2018-03-31 19:20:50 UTC  

Well shit.

2018-03-31 19:21:00 UTC  

That's what I thought

>In a strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:
>
> * It must be capable of selective fire.
> * It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle, such as the 7.92×33mm Kurz, the 7.62x39mm and the 5.56x45mm NATO.
> * Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine.
> * It must have an effective range of at least 300 metres (330 yards).

it's a loose term with a vague meaning. an assault rifle doesn't need to meet every characteristic to be considered such

2018-03-31 19:22:25 UTC  

unless this is some kind of legal term in the US

2018-03-31 19:22:25 UTC  

For instance the G3

2018-03-31 19:22:32 UTC  

Or whether the M2 carbine counts

2018-03-31 19:22:50 UTC  

Or the FAL, since most are semi only

2018-03-31 19:23:15 UTC  

There is no legal definition for assault rifle in the US

2018-03-31 19:23:26 UTC  

in Canada for legal purposes we refer to weapons as either restricted or non-restricted, a lot less emotional

2018-03-31 19:23:31 UTC  

And if there were it wouldn't matter because none of it should be banned

2018-03-31 19:24:20 UTC  

The RCMP can ban guns on a whim and confiscate them without warrant, and nowhere along this line is there any elected officials or votes

2018-03-31 19:24:41 UTC  

And all canandian guns are registered

2018-03-31 19:24:47 UTC  

vc anybody?

2018-03-31 19:25:16 UTC  

that's kind of dramatic

2018-03-31 19:25:27 UTC  

some fuckwit RCMP officer can't just decide your weapon is banned

2018-03-31 19:25:39 UTC  

What he says here also isn't true

2018-03-31 19:25:58 UTC  

and we got rid of our national gun registry

2018-03-31 19:27:05 UTC  

No Im saying the restricted list can be expanded arbitrarily to include other guns the RCMP deem naughty. They recently did it to the SIG550's

2018-03-31 19:27:24 UTC  

And if you don't have the proper license you can have your guns confiscated

2018-03-31 19:27:33 UTC  

ya, but it's always changing and sort of makes them seem goofy

2018-03-31 19:27:49 UTC  

you get to keep it

2018-03-31 19:28:06 UTC  

Because it's the slippery slope crackpipe idea of well-meaning but ultimately stupid progressives

2018-03-31 19:28:29 UTC  

The fact you have a registry automatically defeats the purpose

2018-03-31 19:28:34 UTC  

we don't though

2018-03-31 19:28:39 UTC  

and the records were destroyed

2018-03-31 19:30:11 UTC  

5 round mags.

2018-03-31 19:30:17 UTC  

@franti I just watched the KANG OF KANGZ vidya 🤣🤣

2018-03-31 19:30:21 UTC  

that's the only thing I don't really like

2018-03-31 19:30:31 UTC  

yep it is very funny

2018-03-31 19:30:33 UTC  

We literally built all civilizations

2018-03-31 19:30:34 UTC  

because it's not easy to modify if you were so inclined to kill a bunch of innocent people
