Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gun-control mistakes [View all]Eko
(7,365 posts)1. I disagree with mistake #4.
The AR15 was made to be an assault rifle by Armalite. Taking away the full auto does not really change the gun enough to make it a civilian rifle. It was made to kill people period. Might as well say a M60 is ok to have as long as it doesn't have full auto. Its only a 7.62 semi auto rifle then right? If its rate of fire then a single action revolver should be banned before any semi auto pistol or rifle. How does that make sense? If your aim is to confuse, you have no credibility.
