When?  Where?  Why do you guys pretend there isn't an enormous chasm between semi-automatic rifles with bumpstocks and handguns/traditional rifles? 

Fantasyland can't be much fun with so many damn slippery slopes you're afraid of.
We have seen you people in action before. It is a lot easier for your type to steal out rights inch by inch than all at once.

You gave this the thread title "AR-15 or similar".  That is talking about looks, not functionality.

The magazine size is a completely different item, as is how fast it can be fired.

Now, if you want to relable the thread, fine with me, but call it "semiautomatic rifles of any type".

I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about, again.
You're blaming me for what's going on inside your head.  That's.......incredible.

Why didn't it occur to you that "AR-15 or similar" meant AR-15s and guns that are functionally similar?  How is that MY fault?

once again a gun does not have to be suited for a particular purpose to be owned

a gun owner does not have to justify why he wants to own a certain gun

I'm booing its existence. 

There are threads I'm OK with even when they dip into the usually forbidden topics. When they're built around them, there I draw a line. (I have no vote, but I'm disapproving anyway)

If you meant to refer to ALL semiautomatic rifles, you would not have mentioned AR-15s at all.  That reference clearly makes the thread about AR-15 type rifles, "functionally similar", often called assault rifles.  They look scary.  And you further mentioned that when they are used in criminal acts they can kill a lot of people, which also is something associated with assault rifles.  

A 9 mm handgun is "functionally similar" and the barrel is rifled.  The Ruger Mini-14 is also functionally similar, but it also of course lacks certain features found in most AR-15 types like a bayonet mount and pistol grip and adjustable stock, so in those respects it is not functionally similar.

Maybe you could clarify what you mean here if you really meant "all semiautomatic rifles".  You would get quite different responses because, as noted, most rifles used in hunting are semiautomatic.  They are convenient and more popular in general for obvious reasons.

I'm just curious about it.  It's harmless.  And hell, it's anonymous and voting is a choice.

I should go hunting more.
I didn't know most hunting rifles (or most of the ones people actually use) are semiautomatic.  Thanks for that.
