'Batman' Shooting: Gun Lobby Counts On Short Attention Span

Quote from murray t turtle:

Military style can just as easily mean camo clothes.Honduras bans US hunters from wearing camo clothes. You dont live in Honduras do you??.LOL

Actually with 3 or 4 weapons involved[1 or2 pistols, 1 shotgun, 1 semi auto[not full auto like military has-big difference:cool: ]

Thats a frequent media lie;
calling a semi auto= an auto/automatic .Its illegal to 'do a little file' to make a semi auto an auto /automatic.Actually having shot an auto[-.223] in US Army, auto is much harder to hit/kill with.

Sorry,Trader R, your emotion based argumant doesn' t work in trading or much anywhere. And Colorado killer[orange haired dude, who called himself ''the joker''] his semi auto jammed.

Nazi[national socialist] gun laws like to micromanage gun laws;
& were the first to define ''sporting purpose''.

You still did not answer just how military grade material is made available to the public.

The rest is just blather. Answer the question.
 
For every occasional shooting rampage, there are tons of these stories buried on page 8 of local newspapers:

Of course, gun haters are typically non-thinkers who give in to the appeal to emotion whenever some tragedy occurs. They also fail to grasp that the First Amendment is basically worthless without the Second Amendment.
 
You can't take an AK to a deer hunt. It is way too small of a bullet. A javalina or an antelope perhaps, but not deer. You need a larger gun, like a 30.06 or other hunting gun.
AKs are great for taget shooting, especially in target matches. But it doesn't shoot a large bullet. Most shoot 223. I'm sure that is the gun the Batman shooter had, along with his more substantial weapons.
I have a couple of AKs.
What the military uses and what is sold as an "assault weapon" are two completely different things.

<snipped> with a little filing here and a little tweek there and you have a full auto assault weapon.

That's simply not true. I have heard that posited many times, but never seen proof that it can EASILY be done. You would think that as many times as this nonsense has been spouted, someone would provide a link to a "how-to" article or to a site selling a conversion kit.

But let's say it is as easy to do as you claim, it is illegal to do it.

So you are yet another one that is going to spew nonsense and provide no proof. Got it.

It's fairly simple to change a semi-automatic weapon to full auto, but if done by an amateur it would jam easily when it heated up. A properly functioning weapon is a balance between load (pressure), heat and lubrication. A professional gunsmith, or someone with a lot of experience, would be needed to make all the adjustments for springs, ejection port, etc. to make the gun reliable. When semi-auto weapons are modified in any serious way (e.g., for competition) they need a of lot testing, tuning and adjustments. Even basic modifications (e.g., trigger pull weight), if not done properly, can turn a reliable semi-auto weapon into an unrealiable jam-o-matic. It takes experience to get it right. I'm not saying that a determined amateur couldn't do it, but it's not a trivial task.

Anyone who converts a semi-auto to full-auto goes straight to jail so I think it would be tough finding someone willing to do the work.

you seem smart enough to type on this thread. are you smart enough to use google?
 
Tom, I am not disputing that it CAN be done, I am just saying it can't be done EASILY. Certainly much more complicated than a little filing and tweaking. That comment was ridiculous.

Nope. I am not smart enough to find a link that proves all it takes is a little filing and tweaking as you contend. Put up or shut up. I don't suffer fools well.
