    They are the same.

    What makes you think your 9mm isn't 'assaulty'?

    Baby please don't go, Baby please don't go, down to that shethole.

    Don't cross the Rio Grande and die down in Chaostan.

    Hmm...that's a new word. I like it.

    I have this notion of assault rifles having a more utilitarian look. My 9mm looks more "James Bond"ish.

    My wood furnitured, hunting-style stock saiga AK has been listed on all the same 'assault' ban proposals as ARs.

    If they'll ban a hunting rifle because its semi auto and has a mag, your 9mm aint far behind.

    Actually, the gun was in the bedroom. Wife wasn't present in the room that the break-in initially occurred in.

    In all honesty, it's not much of a concern for me. The gun was given to me by my father, and when I tried to register it, the Sheriff asked why I'd want to do that. So it sits stashed away in a box, and nobody knows/cares that I have it. I'm not even sure where I stashed it.

    Please lock it up or sell it to somebody who is responsible. I thought you anti-gunners were all about safe storage of guns.

    So what weapon should this mom have had instead of an AR that you would care if folks were trying to take it from her?

    I don't care that she has one and I'm not making this about taking guns away. It was a simple comment about the focus of the topic.

    You miss the point.. I can drive a nail with a rock but the hammer is a far better tool for that, pulling nails, molding metal, chipping mortar and demolition!

    and if all she had was a shotgun, she might have injured her hubby & kid... most home defense shotguns are loaded with multiple disc & ball defense rounds, i know mine are.

    That's the problem with all this anti gun yapping.. THE HOME INTRUDER is clearly not concerned with the law and WILL always have the advantage of possessing a firearm regardless of the law..

    They are kept in the trunk. Were you going to try to make a point that this mother should have been denied ownership of an AR 15?

    The leftist know they are inconsistent with gun control, they just need something to bitch about and feed their need to argue about.. I never see big 20 page threads where these concerned leftist are tossing out idea's to disarm criminals, registered felons, ghetto thugs and gang bangers.. They simply enjoy the safe ineffective route and burden the law abiding American with their boring nonsense while protecting and ignoring places like Chicago :)

    Thank you for saying this.

    This is EXACTLY why I want one to defend myself.

    Someone does something that is irresponsible and something bad happened as a result? I'M SHOCKED.

    1. Totally irrelevant to this thread.
    2. Punishing the whole for the actions of a few is poor leadership. It always has been and it always will be. This is EXACTLY how the left leads.

    Very true. Even if we eradicated all guns they would build more.
