Here's the problem with arguing with someone like Pejeu. He doesn't care about individual freedom. He has said before that he is a statist who thinks that people are too stupid to make their own decisions, must be ruled by the elite, and should be put in camps if it is decided it is "for their own good." His words, not mine.
Given that he believes like this, of course he wants citizens to be disarmed because disarmed people are a heck of a lot easier to put into camps than armed citizens.
In a way its hillarious arguing with people who dont know what they are talking about, but then when the laughter subsides you realise these people are dead serious in their quest to disarm everyone to the maximum extent possible, and it becomes scary.

First, having been in the Marines during the switch from the M-14, 7.62mm/.30 caliber, and the M-16, 5.56mm/.22cal, I will say that the former is my rifle, the latter is a toy. I preferred scaring the enemy to the ground at 5 or 6 hundred yards, to being a football field length from the enemy.
Second, the M-14 could be modified with a selector dial, for semi and full auto. Only they found out, an M-14 on full auto would (a) climb like a scared monkey, in other words you aim at the enemy and finish shooting at clouds, and (b) on average all twenty rounds would fire before the shooter took his finger off the the trigger (800 rounds per minute, divide by 60 and in a second, it fires 13 rounds.) Mind you, the finger is delayed, by the death grip the shooter has on the weapon, trying to control it.
Last, the M-14 is classified as a "battle rifle," and superior in every way as a military weapon to the M-16. The M-16 has a single claim to fame, it is made of plastic and light weigh. Oh, yes twenty round magazines, full loaded, are lighter. The M-16 tries to make up for it's short comings, with thirty round magazines.
For heavy fire power in a mobile mode, I think the M-60 is best. Same size rounds, but belt fed. Hang an assault pack on either side, sling the walking sling, and lean forward.

I thought military weapons had Full-Auto on the selector?

PTB know that inside the US there is no way to get rid of the guns unless something of an epic nature happens. People would have to be starving.
This progressive propaganda is for the rest of the world. They want to keep you in line using fear. This is the cold hard truth and if you buy into this crap guess what PTB have your mind. America is the last hold out in the world and thankfully we have a strong constitution and conservative minded people in mass still.
And yes eventually even the US will fail to the progressive filth scum bags. And when they do kiss you freedom of speech goodbye rest of the world.edit on 5-11-2013 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

This....
Is why the rest of the civilized world thinks that there's something deeply wrong with your "last holdout in the world" lol...
Don't get me worong - I know many americans where I live. Funny thing is, once they actually spend time in other countries as these do they start to acknowledge how screwed up american conservatism has become. Really, wake up, go travel to other countries, see how people can live without harnessing killing machines at home, how they don't need to build up a constant state of fear etc. You conservative gun toters guys are loons, truly so.

That is the definition of an assault rifle. If it isn't capable of full auto or burst fire, it is not an assault rifle. It's that simple.
You can call a horse an automobile because they both carry goods and people over distances, but a horse is clearly not an automobile no matter how many times someone says it is.
O'Reilly?
So the M1 Garand isn't an assault rifle?
Laughing my ass off right now.

It's called defense. Someone thinking they can help their selves to the fruits of our labour, or bring harm to people in our community are no better than some wolves or coyotes trying to get into the livestock. People want to act like animals, they will be treated as such. Why do you think it doesn't happen here? We won't allow it to happen.
We won't give up our guns anymore than we would let someone steal any of the tools we rely on to live.
