ok stan, we used to say IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US! but now the animal rights activists won't allow us to use that. So now we say THIN THEIR NUMBERS! See, we gotta kill animals in order to save them. If we don't kill them, they will die!

Assault rifles are for heavy fighting and if the going gets that tough the tough get heavy caliber and heavy armour, not to mention artilery and air power. The whole scenario of U.S. citizens having to oppose some portion of their government with force of arms is a fairytale told by survivalist whackos....

I don't disagree with your point really.
I was speaking to those who make the same point as you about modern technology having made the average band of civilian rifleman incapable of defending against a modern army but then they say "for that reason the second ammendment is no longer valid" or some such nonsense.

I quit killing animals because it just sort of lost it's attraction. I sold all my rifles and shotguns and now just keep a few choice pistols because the only living thing I'll ever really *need* to shoot are people.
Of course I won't repel the army with them but the second ammendment shouldn't be repealed or ignored just because one of the scenarios it's designed to protect has changed.

I have no delusions of being Rambo, however, for example, I was just looking to plan a road trip for my family and probably rent a cabin or pull a travel trailer and stay in a campground at a lake I've never been to.
I'll definitely be carrying my .40SigSauer 239 hidden inside my waistband during much of the time.
No one will know, everyone will be safe...unless some fool tries to do my family some harm in which case my odds of survival will be greatly improved.
Without the second ammendment only the criminals would be able to better their odds.

If I lived in the woods an 'assault rifle' would be a better choice and I want the option if I spend much time there....

Sounds like you don't understand the concept, Lobber.

What concept?

I look forward to the day when all guns, bombs, and weapons of every kind are banned, dismantled, and never manufactured again.

Great idea...just who's gonna do this first?

The criminals, of course.. all we have to do is a make a law and they'll comply.

Do you really want me to go there? I thought you guys didn't want to hear good news.

We do...got any?

It's religious in nature.

Just a quick aside on the 50cal.


Maximum range: 5 to 7 kilometers? HOLY CRAP!!
Armour piercing incendiary rounds?!?

But it's not an assault rifle so I guess it's okay.

BTW Will, come holiday in Canada. Bears are your biggest worry in the woods and they are vastly over rated.

I meant your post about animals. You missed the whole point of the reason people thin the herds.
