"Assault" is in quotes because the important part is what comes out the end, not the way it looks.

I'm also tired of hearing them called "automatic". The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle.

An automatic weapon fires multiple rounds with one depression of the trigger and continues firing as long as the trigger is depressed, or fires in multiple round bursts, and sets another round in the chamber when the firing is complete. A semi-automatic weapon fires a single round with one depression of the trigger and sets another round in the chamber.

Automatic also describes a gun that rechambers itself with every shot. The fact that the trigger needs to be pulled for each shot doesn't change much.

SEMI-automatic.

There's a difference.

There's a difference between automatic fire and an automatic action. All self-loading actions are identified as "automatic".

You must live in a constant state of ecstatic euphoria.

You must not own any guns yet. I do.

I'm 41, was a member of the NRA Jr Rifle League as a kid, helped my dad teach hunters' safety classes, joined the Marines out of high school, and have owned MANY guns.

Read my previous... If ignorance is bliss...

Then you should know that an automatic action is different from an automatic fire mode.

Ignoring you from now on. Ignorant bastard.

A strawman argument is a rerepresentation of the opposition's argument created for the sake of more easily dismissing it. It's not in any way a strawman argument because none of my claims have anything to do with what you're talking about. Meanwhile, you're turning what I'M saying into "You're saying 'automatic', when it's SEMI automatic". THAT'S A F**KING STRAWMAN, because automatic actions and automatic fire are NOT THE SAME THING.

Also, way to talk about fallacies, WHEN YOUR ENTIRE CLAIM IS BASED ON EQUIVOCATION! You know, the fallacy of attributing a phrase to a specific definition, when there are other definitions applicable? The term "automatic weapon" can refer to both weapons that fire continuously AND weapons with an automatic action, which solely applies to how a gun is loaded.

Why am I not surprised that you're WRONG AGAIN!

straw man
A logic fallacy involving the purposeful misrepresentation of an argument in order to strike it down.

"a rerepresentation of the opposition's argument created for the sake of more easily dismissing it"

"purposeful misrepresentation of an argument in order to strike it down"

Explain how that is any different.

Missed the "logical fallacy" part, huh?

GOD, I wish I wasn't a real obsessive-compulsive! I SO want to ignore your ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY!

Name a difference between a semi-automatic action and an automatic action. You can't. I can: The former DOES NOT EXIST.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(firearms)#Automatic_actions

See? No such thing as a semi-automatic ACTION.

Good one... using just the entry that you think supports your position.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_firearm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_firearm

Explain how the implications of those two definitions are any different.

Bottom line... You're trying to use a word/definition that has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

You should have let this go 6 months ago.

You worry about Canada's laws, hoser, and let me worry about the United States's laws.

Good one... using the entries that have absolutely no relevance to what I am talking about. Automatic and Semi Automatic weapons have the EXACT SAME ACTION.

So you admit you've been making a strawman argument this whole time.

Done with you now.

Also, YOUR pages support my position.

"Although both "semi automatic" and "fully automatic" firearms are "automatic" in the technical sense that the firearm automatically cycles between rounds with each trigger pull, the terms "automatic weapon" and "automatic firearm" are conventionally reserved by firearm enthusiasts to describe fully automatic firearms."

LITERALLY THE ENTIRE POINT

Point conceded (and comment upvoted).

Even if he'd said "magazine", the point of my meme comment still stands.

We do it in Canada. It works.

Glocks have mags. Obama is a buffoon.

Kinda my point.

The president elect said "7/11".

ISIS is the perfect brand of "f**ker."

For anyone that's interested, I already refuted this person and this argument on the following meme's thread:

imgflip.com/i/15re5b

Please note that one of the mass-shootings I referenced was done with a .22 and another with a pump-action shotgun. One needn't have an "assault" rifle to kill people, nor does having a rifle with a pistol grip mean you're going to kill people.

Buying fireworks doesn't mean you're going to kill people. Buying a pressure cooker doesn't mean you're going to kill people. Buying a backpack doesn't mean you're going to kill people. Choosing to misuse those items kills people.

Neither are guns. It's all in how you use them.

"A gun is a normally tubular weapon..."

Hammers have purpose beyond being a weapon. Guns do not.

My point stands that what matters is how someone uses them.

Skeet shooting has no practical, and hunting is literally killing shit for fun.

POT, KETTLE, BLACK
Think about it

You're the one who has not stayed on topic and has not given any logical reason for me to change my mind.

But at least it's not killing people. This statement is off-topic and has not invalidated my point in any way.

Throwing a basketball at a net has no practical... unless you're practicing.

Hitting a tennis ball at a wall has no practical... unless you're practicing.

Throwing a football at a hung up tire has no practical... unless you're practicing.

Foot-juggling a soccer ball has no practical... unless you're practicing.

Skeet shooting is practicing for hunting. And even if someone just does it for fun, SO WHAT??!?!?? Skeet shooting is done with a shotgun, not a rifle, let alone an "assault" rifle, which, if you'll recall, is the topic here.

If you don't have anything valid to add, then stop cluttering up my meme page.

I don't recall basketballs being used to murder on mass.

Either you are purposefully not getting ANY of my points, which means you're trolling me, or you are, quite literally, the WORST debater I have ever encountered.

Let's just call it a draw. You won't convince me to your side, and I won't convince you to mine.

I ask you to please stop prolonging this pointless discussion.

So you're just stubborn.

ax or axe
noun
1. an instrument with a bladed head on a handle or helve, used for hewing, cleaving, chopping, etc.

Axes have purpose beyond being a weapon. Guns do not.

Sure, let's play the dictionary game!

Reread the title of this meme...

And technically I could outshoot you with my broken down .30 carbine even if you had the latest mod m-4.

Nobody cares.

The point being that 1)you don't know what your talking about and 2) most of the mods your so "concerned" ( I doubt you actually really care outside of being a talking parrot) about don't improve functionality for those who don't shoot often enough for it to matter.

So mods don't do anything at all for anyone because you're good.

Ya, that's how that translates. Idiot
