What's this?

Then you need to seriously should consider context.

If the gun in question is an M-1 Garand, then it was developed for the sole purpose of use for the military. It was at the time state of the art, exceeding any similar standard issue infantry weapon used by the axis powers. It was not manufactured or intended for use by the general population.

Current Thread:

Which is a hunting rifle and which is a weapon of war? -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:05PM

Neither is a hunting rifle since they're semi-autos with detachable mags. ** -- HowieT3 02/23/2018 3:46PM

So, even sold as the 5-shot variant, you would ban it? ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 4:10PM

Unless it has an internal magazine that is extremely difficult to alter. -- HowieT3 02/23/2018 4:31PM

So you are ok with antiquated tech... ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 5:05PM

Is it because they are semi automatic or detachable magazines? -- Cold Hoober Hoo 02/23/2018 3:59PM

Get rid of the detachable mags. Some shotguns are semi-auto, not all. ** -- HowieT3 02/23/2018 4:28PM

Better answer ** -- Cold Hoober Hoo 02/23/2018 4:35PM

He apparently has his own definition ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 4:04PM

Lol, what? -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:55PM

Irrelevant as usual ** -- hokeyhokie 02/23/2018 3:19PM

If one is talking about banning "assault weapons" it is completely relevant ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:32PM

Ban all semi-auto guns---rifles, handguns, etc.... ** -- THECZAR 02/23/2018 3:42PM

Revolvers, bolt-action, pump action firearms would be acceptable to you? ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:48PM

If you get the proper licenses to own approved firearms: comprenhensive -- THECZAR 02/23/2018 3:56PM

All managed by our great govco....i mean what on earth could go wrong ** -- TomKazanski 02/23/2018 4:07PM

And a voter ID is disenfranchisement... -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 4:21PM

I don't think they realize -- hoothat 02/23/2018 4:39PM

Oh, yeah, really believable, you guys care about civil rights now. Lol. ** -- THECZAR 02/23/2018 4:43PM

I always have thank you very much. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 5:12PM

Lol, are you serious? -- hoothat 02/23/2018 4:48PM

So, are you against voter id laws then? ** -- THECZAR 02/23/2018 5:05PM

If there is a problem with ID access, that is an issue that needs to be -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 5:13PM

No -- hoothat 02/23/2018 5:09PM

You are the Amish of firearms ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:45PM

OK, which of those fires multipe rounds rapidly? -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:40PM

It's the same weapon... -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:46PM

They are both variants of the same gun. As for what I'm trying to discuss -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:45PM

I'v given you my answer more than once. No clip greater than 5 round; -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:47PM

So, no 6-shot revolvers? As for trigger pull and discreet round, that's is -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 4:04PM

These are definitely not allowed -- hoothat 02/23/2018 4:07PM

So you are ok with every semi automatic on the market ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:56PM

*** -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:45PM

Both ** -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:16PM

What makes them a "weapon of war"? ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:19PM

Bullets ** -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:23PM

So any gun is a weapon of war. OK. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:24PM

Yup ** -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:25PM

Oooo...his dazzling logic has got ya' now, Wax! :D ** -- Seattle .Hoo 02/23/2018 3:27PM

LOL! I'm giving him answers that I think have value similar to his question ** -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:30PM

Thanks for proving that you have no interest in legitimate discussion. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:31PM

When have you ever been interested in anything other than applause? ** -- 111Balz 02/23/2018 8:39PM

Actually, I'd like a serious discussion about what makes one gun OK and -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:29PM

Then you need to seriously should consider context. -- Chuck Taylor 02/23/2018 3:36PM

Lol ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:48PM

Both are Ruger Mini-14 variants. The one on top is a 5 round "ranch rifle" ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:41PM

Which is a hunting rifle? Has the five round variant ever been used in war ** -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:43PM

It is called a Mini 14 because it has similarities to an M14 and similar... -- Chuck Taylor 02/23/2018 3:53PM

Neither of them have ever been used in a war. One can hunt, if they so -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:47PM

As one of the Parkland teachers says "if you need 30 rounds to kill -- WaxHoo 02/23/2018 3:49PM

Neither is a 30 round run as shown. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 4:01PM

What an ignorant quote ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:58PM

Since when did hunting, or a hunting weapon, become a right? ** -- hokeyhokie 02/23/2018 3:48PM

I didn't bring hunting into the discussion...you'd have to take that up -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:50PM

I'd ban hunting weapons first since they're not protected by the 2A ** -- hokeyhokie 02/23/2018 3:52PM

If you are basing weapons availability on the 2nd Amendment it would -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 4:14PM
