    Unfortunately, there are a few posting here that share her unique expertise and opinion. That 30 mag must weight enough to kill if thrown.

    Sheila’s comments follow a long tradition of demonstrations of such unique logic by anti-gun politicians
    https://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2016/01/07/5-embarrassing-gun-quotes-politicians/

    A couple I heard from GCAs in the last few weeks,
    1) along with the bump stock in Vegas, all the guns used had telescopes mounted which gave the terrorist an even more insidious and unfair advantage. Telescopes should be banned on rifles.

    2)Gun rights advocates lie and claim AR15s are not machine guns, but semi automatics when everybody knows the term semi automatic is right wing code meant to deceive people from knowing these guns are actual machine guns. Some aren’t even well camouflaged, they have stands that fold down to steady aim just like the machine guns used in WWI that were banned by the Geneva Convention.

    3)any gun light enough to be carried by a child should be banned. Like cigarettes, manufacturers deliberately design guns to attract and hook children; it’s one reason why we have so many school shootings.

    4)Any gun shooting bullets over 50 size should be banned because they can shoot planes out of the sky.

    5)...from a person claiming 2a support. Only single shot weapons should be allowed. You should be able to protect yourself and one shot should be sufficient.

    These were just a few of the winners. Hard to argue with them; there is no point.

    BTW, one of my favorite questions is to ask, “when was the War of 1812 fought?”. Try asking that question a bit and see the answers you receive. Then, consider how many of those asked that question actually vote.

    She probably doesn't even know what .50 means, but I've seen some pro 2nd A people incorrectly post that a .50 AR rifle doesn't exist when there is the .50 Beowulf. Need pinpoint accuracy when debating those Leftist idiots.

    Accuracy in the debate won’t matter to the Leftists. It’s easy to understand their confusion with the AR because of the many chamberings that can be had and, based on their firearms identification, more often than not, having to do with looks, confusing AR15s with AR10s, M16s, M4s and even Barretts (and even airsoft models).
    Funny thing, with my .458 SOCOM upper, my mags hold only 10 Rds (I usually only load 9).
    When I was in college in the 70’s, I built a few black powder rifles, a couple in .50 cal and one .54 cal., you know... replicas of early American anti-aircraft guns.

    And .50 AE, but that is a pistol cartridge chambered for the AR. I've never seen one myself for the AR, but I have no doubt the "bullets need to be licensed" is coming from the Dems soon.

    They are here. Ammunition is regulated like the firarms themselves, you need to have a license for a firearm chambered in the ammunition you are buying.

    There is no purchase limit or record keeping of your stocks.

    Handloading is perfectly legal, which is much appreciated, but admittedly surprising for Australia. The primer and powder are the regulated components, as far as I know you can possess as much brass as you want.

    Hollywood mags are just back painted styrofoam props made to further the military/villain gun look alike image; everyone knows Hollywood guns don’t need high cap mags because they will never run out of ammo anyway. I want one of those guns... been looking for one most of my life, but have never found the ACME (A Company that Makes Everything) Corp store. Anyone know how to contact Wile E. Coyote? Can’t find his e-mail.

    I think all projectiles (including shotgun pellets) should be imbued with a serial number and each registered and transferred to the buyer who is responsible for their cleanup after use for 0 environmental impact; we could solve crimes that way... it has to be Constitutional (and California friendly) because we aren’t denying anyone from their RKBA rights... just adding a bit of paper work.

    That could be a tough job, more so if the projectiles are inside of a criminals body. ;-)

    Officer, "what are you doing cutting that dead guy up."

    Shooter, "required environmental compliance Sir."

    Officer, "freaking regulations, I'm going to the doughnut shop, call me when you are done so we can come back and bag him and tag him."

    Shooter, "yes Sir will do, and please bring back a couple of strawberry jelly doughnuts for me please."

    By the way my TASER cartridges actually have micro tags so they can be traced back to me should I deploy one and scoot, which is what TASER recommends a law abiding person do.

    Drop the TASER let it run it's 30 second NMI and flee to a safe location then call the LEO's from there.

    They, TASER, if provided with a police report will replace a civilians TASER for free, if it was left behind or taken into evidence.

    Tough job? Nah, The anti gun types have it figured.
    I also think all legal guns should be pink in color... no self respecting bad guy will carry them making it easier to identify bad guy guns.

    Yep, any gun that is judged accurate should be banned. Accurate guns are made to hit people and provide an insidious and unfair advantage to criminals that just want to do their business, get away and be left alone... Constitutionally guaranteed liberty, pursuit of happiness, and right to make a living is threatened.




    Yep, it’s one of my frequent questions as well along with asking where the Vietnam was was fought. Interesting the answers from attending HS students, but scary the answers from adults.

    BTW, should 15” and 16” guns be banned from carry? What of 5”?

    You know, I actually know some Democrats who are pretty damn reasonable when it comes to gun control. Unfortunately they're in the minority...

    Would you please provide a few examples of what you consider to be "damn reasonable", additional gun control.

    I say "additional gun control" because, as you know, there are already thousands of gun control laws in existence and I, personally, don't believe we would need additional gun laws if the existing gun laws were only enforced.

    Which shows how illogical the GCA movement really is, it's quite clear the existing laws are not being enforced, so why would any thinking person believe any new laws would be enforced?

    Or do the GCA's believe laws get old and stale and are them no longer enforced so passing fresh news solves the problem, totally illogical, but's the reality of the GCA movement.

    The post you quoted was attributed to me incorrectly. I didn't make that statement...
