Comments on: Gov. Cuomo attacks “assault” weapons with seemingly no knowledge of what they are http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/01/10/gov-cuomo-attacks-assault-weapons-with-seemingly-no-knowledge-of-what-they-are/ The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment Sat, 25 May 2013 11:04:00 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: John http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/01/10/gov-cuomo-attacks-assault-weapons-with-seemingly-no-knowledge-of-what-they-are/#comment-230157 John Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:00:00 +0000 /?p=41853#comment-230157 I find it hilarious that people still try and pretend it was anti-gunners who "made up" assault rifles.  It was in fact gun manufacturers and dealers who have been using terms like "assault rifle" and "assault style" in advertising of their weapons since the 1980s. Intratec, which made the infamous TEC assault pistols banned by name in the federal statute, advertised its line of semiautomatic pistols in magazines such as Soldier of Fortune, Combat Handguns, and S.W.A.T. this way in 1989: “At two-thirds the weight (and price) of an Uzi, the TEC-9 series clearly stands out among high capacity 9mm assault-type pistols.” H&K had this ad: "In a survival situation, you want the most un-compromising weapon that money can buy.  The HK 91 Semi-Automatic Assault Rifle from Heckler & Koch." http://web.archive.org/web/19980202065557/http:/www.vpc.org/studies/thath&k.htm Comments?

An assault rifle is an assault rifle regardless of who is defining it. The M1A1 is is an assault rifle, its cousin the M14 is also an assault rifle. What is the difference in a Ford Taraus and a Mercury Sable? FYI Fool, I can only edit my own posts not like them,but you stay stupid of how Disqus works. You are seriously mentally deranged.

Saying an AR-15 is the same as an M-16 is foolish. That is like saying a Mustang GT and a Mustang Gt500 are the same on the outside. You never bothered to look under the hood and SEE the difference. There are plenty of rifles out there that have a pistol grip and folding/telescoping stock, they also have detachable mags, that does not make them an "Assault Rifle." You failed to see the difference between an AR-15/Colt Sporter and an M-16 which is that selector switch. So, they look the same on the outside, but that does not mean they are the same. The government can put stipulations on what they consider an "Assault Rifleb" but that does NOT make it so. No military in the world uses a semi-automatic rifle, NONE. In the end, it does not matter, this is about limiting freedom and the 2nd Amendment, nothing more. The government can define anything they like, in which ever manner they choose, that does NOT make it correct. The government has NO right to take away rights, as defined by the Constitution. Idiots like you have no right to limit others freedom simply because you think it's a good idea. The 2nd Amendment is what it is, whether the government or you like it or not. Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. -Ben Franklin P.S. Stop putting "likes" on your own posts, it makes you look dumber than you already look.

The Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act of 1994 is what put in the so called Assault Weapons ban, it ended on September 31, 2004. It specifically defined Assault weapons for both rifle and pistols, and it included SEMI-AUTO rifles, of which the Colt AR-15 is among the list as long as it has a removable magazine, and any two of the other requirements to be an assault weapon. There was nothing in the assault weapons ban that defined them as being fully automatic. Since you seem so mentally limited here is the History of the AR-15/M-16. It is similar o the history of the A-12/SR-71. Eugen Stoner, Robert Fremon, and L. James Sullivan developed the AR-10. Which Armelite converted to 5.56/.233 to be the AR-15. Armelite ran into financial difficulty and sold the patents for both rifles to Colt. Colt put the AR-15 in to the running for the replacement of the M-14 as the AR-15. The AR-15 won the competition. The military renamed it the M-16. therefore the AR-15 is the same as a M-16. However, you are not smart enough to understand this.

No, you can't. You really should look into what makes an "Assault Rifle," being fully automatic or having a "three round burst" is one of the criteria. Nice try, but you failed to see that a pistol grip or folding/telescoping stock means nothing. An M-16, which IS the military equivalent has a 4 position selector switch which allows "Safe," single or semi-automatic, three round burst and fully automatic. Our military does NOT use the AR-15, it uses the M-16 and is currently moving to the M-4. Feel free to remain a complete idiot, that seems to working well for you.
