The NRA wants to build a themed restaurant in Times Square. The local liberals are trying to stop them even though the NRA said they won't sell guns there.
Can someone find an article on this? I've searched about 6 news sites and it either isn't being reported, or you have to 'purchase' archived articles...

Why? The purpose is to defeat the false image that the liberal media has created of the NRA being some evil group that LIKES it when hundreds of children are killed by guns every year (even though the number is closer to two dozen; but who cares about accuracy?). They want to show that the NRA, unlike all these special intrest groups that liberals love, is just made up of ordinary, every day people on the street across every demographic, and not the gun-toting rednecks that shoot beercans off fenceposts for fun that some people think it's made up of.

quote:Without remembering (or even caring if the comment is accurate - some journalism!) that automatics have been outlawed for decades.
Yeah, and that's stopped SO many people from getting them.

That was from last weeks news.

*can't think of one person who has an automatic weapon, not any time an automatic weapon has been used by someone who wasn't already a criminal (or in the military) in the last 20 years, or any manufacturer/public distributor of automatic weapons in the US*
So how're "they" getting all these SO easy-to-get weapons, and who's using them? Who ARE "they?"

Actually, my uncle has a room full of automatic weapons. Uzi, AK, you name it. He doesn't use them, except to make sure they still work. He was never in the Armed Forces, but still owns them anyway.

Actually, it is (or at least, was last time I checked) legal to own both Uzi's and AK-47's, provided their capacity for firing at full auto has been removed. It is illegal to convert them to full auto, as it is with any gun. (not, as it's been said before, that making things illegal necessarily stops bad people from doing them, only good people.)
See, most of such weapons have two settings, single-shot and automatic. The difference is how many times you have to pull the trigger. On an automatic, you simply hold down the trigger and it empties the clip, fairly quickly. on single shot, you have to pull the trigger each time. (In my opinion, a superior option, as it conserves ammunition, and your bullets don't go flying in the wrong directions due to the weapon's 'kick.' - it's harder to hit a single target on full auto, because the blast from each firing pushes your gun to one side.)

Why stop at AK-47's? Hell, I think every house needs an m1-A1, an SSBN and an ABM. Did I leave anything out?

Hey you forgot the Air-Fuel Bomb, cluster bombs, and cruise missiles.
Actually in all but a few cases it has been automatic weapons have been outlawed since 1933, however there are about a thousand people who are legally liceased to own automatic weapons, but I have never heard one of those people being involved in a crime.
Well there is also generally a third setting on an automatic rifle, which is a 3 shot burst, which gives the advantage of every shot flying to slightly different place that isn't to far from the last shot, and in conserves ammo (actually technically the M-16 isn't an automatic weapon because it max fire rate is now a 3 shot burst). I thought conversion kits were legal before a certain point, oh well.
Ah Jeff you never shot a squirel with a 12 gauge, have you
------------------ Somehow you were linked to this page, which doesn't really exist. Well, this one does, but the one you were trying to get to doesn't. Actually, that's not really true either, because it probably does, but either you mistyped it or our webmaster is asleep at the wheel. If the later is the case (you were linked here from a page within **********.net) then please let us know.
If you were linked here from an external site, which is most often the case, it would be nice of you to let them know.
