Below, an example of just one of any number of people arguing the AR is a "weapon of war(tm)" https://www.upworthy.com/military-general-explains-ar15-weapon-of-war Let's assume for a moment this nonsense is true, and the AR15 is indeed such a weapon. So? What sort of weapons do you you suppose the "well-regulated militia" is supposed to use? To that end, what sort of firearm is better protected by the 2nd Amendment than the AR15?
What exactly do you mean by "war". An AR 15 is pretty lacking given the narrow zone for infantry in war now a days. Your problem can be summed up as "which side is holding the gun?"
So what if it is? Semi-automatic pistols are weapons of war. Bolt action rifles are weapons of war. Even revolvers and lever action rifles are weapons of war. That reality allows the Communists to label everything more advanced than a crack barrel squirrel gun as a "weapon of war" and ban them. Just mmore proof that an all out ban is the goal. Canada is considering using private contractors as "collection agents" to conduct gun confiscations. I'm sure the Communists in Congress are watching that very closely.
Hmm. The reason we have a law that allows the government to send cops to get someone's guns is because the government sent cops to get someone's guns.
I would think a "weapon of war" would have been used, or even issued for use, in a war. To my knowledge, the AR-15 has never been issued to any military anywhere in the world. Thus, anyone characterizing the AR-15 as a "weapon of war" clearly doesn't know what they are talking about. Propaganda. Say an untruth enough, and eventually people will start to believe it's true.
Just another incompetent PoS U.S. general looking for a hand out. I say put them all on the front line and use them as cannon fodder in the next war they plan on losing for us.
I have my Grandfather's winchester shotgun, I forget the model, maybe 1897? Was known as a "trench sweeper" in WWI. Weapon of war
That means the Canadian govt knows there will be violence if they try to enforce a gun ban. It also hints that the Canadian LE has indicated they will not go confiscate firearms. If Canada is in that situation then it will be worse in the USA. When NY and Connecticut enacted their gun registration/ban less than 10% of the people that should have registered or turned in items actually complied. For a while the banners in Connecticut demanded the governor get the state police to go to the peoples houses and get the guns, the state cops refused because it would be a blood bath. I imagine if cops refuse to go get the guns, there wont be many private contractors that will do it either.
my late grandfather, DSC, Purple Heart and a bunch of other medals-American and French, willed me his 1911. It certainly was a weapon of war and he carried it when he earned the DSC
Hmmm… what military has adopted the AR 15 for their military forces? Name one. What does ‘weapon of war’ mean?Other than a deliberate continuation of the strategy Pete Shields outlined with part of his plan to admittedlydeliberately deceive the public on fire arms on his campaigned to get all guns banned from civilian use. Again at the federal level, under the new assault weapons ban, there still is not a definitive definition that can be used to distinguish that category of weapons from any other so even the feds resorted to generating a specific list of manufacturer’s gun models selected not because of a definitive set of defining criteria, but someone’s judgement a particular gun model should be banned.
So, with a pen stroke, Biden will turn 20 million or so Americans into criminals. Does anyone believe 20 million rifles will be turned in to be destroyed? BTW, I have some land for sale… lots of it cheap.
Ahhh… The ‘97, one reason it was valued is that holding the trigger back it could be rapidly slam fired. It was thought effective, so much so, that the Germans appealed to the lLeague of Nations in an attempt to get its’s use by the US Banned.it was still in the inventory up to VietNam.
IIRC, the main complaint was the use of soft lead buckshot, the Germans claimed that ammunition violated the Hague accords or something similar
