The "AR" in AR-15 comes from the ArmaLite (original company that designed it) name. 'tard.

Interesting. Thank you for that bit of educational info

This thread is infuriating!

WHY IS THERE AN APOSTROPHE BEFORE KILLS!??!??!

It's an outrage.

[Laqswrnm]

In the last decade the UK opened its borders to over 300 million people

wot mate?

I come here for reasoned discussion

Bad call. Those days are long gone from Poly.

'tard.

Asher, you're a fan of whisky, right? Suppose that some of your fellow Canadians got tired of all the unnecessary deaths caused by alcohol, all the car crashes, the expense of treating people with liver problems, the social problems of drunkenness, all that. Suppose that they wanted to try to limit people's access to hard liquor. They might say something like, "We're okay with people enjoying alcohol reasonably; beer and wine are fine in moderation. But there's no reason why anybody should drink this poison. It's only purpose is to get people as drunk as possible. Liquor has no place in civilized society." And they might even have some compelling statistics about how many lives they could save. Suppose that one of these people says something stupid like, "Alberta Premium is 80 proof. That means that it's 80 percent alcohol."

Wouldn't their complete failure to research basic terminology piss you off? Wouldn't you feel angry that people are spouting off opinions without bothering to find out basic facts? Wouldn't you wish that ignorant mother****ers keep their ignorant ****ing opinions to themselves, instead of trying to take away your right to enjoy whisky?

This would be a reasonable comparison if the sole purpose of whiskey was to maim and kill living things.

The sole purpose of whiskey is to get drunk. How many people are maimed and killed by drunks?

I can use my rifle to shoot targets for fun. In fact, that's the only thing I've ever used my AR-15 for. I'm not maiming or killing a paper target am I?

Ooh, good one!

You're pretty retarded if you get drunk off single-malts.

I would also love to see someone go on a rampage with whiskey or a fishing rod.

It'd certainly make for a thrilling new take on Deadliest Catch.

My childhood friend once lodged a fishhook in my ear when angling. A fishhook is a ***** to remove.

I got hooked in the nose by a fellow Boy Scout. They really should do background checks and check for side-arm casting style before selling a fishing rod

Let's be real here and recognize that you're grossly misinformed about guns.

[Andrew1978]

Rifles are so rarely used in crime that regulating them makes no sense at all. You can't stuff one in a sweatshirt pocket.

You can't stuff a ground to air missile in your sweatshirt either, but I still reckon having a few regulations on their ownership would seem logical.

[cemDrymnVem]

Three major differences between SAMs and rifles:
1) SAMs cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars

Is tens of thousands a particularly prohibitive price tag?

2) SAMs can kill hundreds of people at once

So?

3) I can't buy a SAM from one of a dozen or so stores within easy driving distance from where I live.

You should probably protest about this. You have the right to bear arms goddamn it! What are you supposed to do if King George comes back to reclaim his colonies or those bastids in Washington come to steal your freedoms?
