Video games have nothing to do with this, it's all about guns being widely available in the United States.

I should start out saying that I am not in favor of banning guns. To me they are just a tool, but I have to wonder, what is the point of having those particular kinds of guns? They aren't used for hunting are they? I'm not a hunter, but it seems overkill for hunting. So what else would it be used for?

What if a ban was implemented on assault weapons but you were still allowed to purchased all kinds of hand guns and genuine hunting rifles.......would you be happy or not?
If not, my second question would be, why not? Do you feel that the 2nd amendment should entitle you to legally own ANY type of weapon?

I have a question. on my AR-15, I have incorporated a .22 caliber conversion kit. It can easliy be switched from the regular .223 caliber, to a .22 caliber in a matter of seconds. If they do ban the AR-15 style guns, do you think it would include the .22 caliber?? I mean hell, it is just a 22 after all, although its still a weapon its not nearly the fire power. You would have to be one hell of a shot to really do damage.
I recommend the .22 conversion kit to anyone, its a fun round that can be purchased for Cheap, and is great for small game. Mine is a stainless steel, and still has the 30 round clips. Well worth the $150.

Couple of questions to gun owners, supporters of the 2nd amendment......
Firstly, I am completely against guns in all forms. However, I understand anger at possible challenges to your constitutional rights - that I can understand.
What I don't understand is the need for certain types of weapons.

An earlier post referred to a guy in a gun shop buying 3 'AR15' rifles - to my untrained eye having googled it these look like what I'd call a machine gun.........why do you need or want that, is it for fun or purely for home defence, or something else?

If that .22 cal AR fires 22's under Clintons AWB and Feinsteins next-gen AWB that AR is still illegal if it has a collapsible stock, a removable flash hider / muzzle break or a bayonet lug.
Remember, it's not about function or power. It's all just about how scary it looks.

This might be one instance my NYS compliant Ar will work out then as we are not allowed any of the above. It is strange that 10 rd mags and accessories are considerably more expensive which always chaps my ass when I need to purchase.
