The only firearms I own actually hug people and then give them a little kiss on the cheek.

This sounds dangerous and should probably be banned, or something.

He got the "Biden" mod for his Mossberg 500.

Can someone, please, define just wtf an "assault" weapon is??

Near as I can define, an assault weapon is used to, well, assault someone/thing...? Yes????

So, by that standard, anything can be an "assault" weapon...

There was an unfortunate boating accident, and all the guns were lost at sea. A shame, really...

a reply to: Lumenari

Well now that doesn't sound as lethal!

Honestly a Biden mod sounds like it might be dangerous, just nobody can go check it out.

You too huh? Such a shame if only I had listen to Inslee and only went boating, but nope I had to go fishing. Next thing I knew was that my gun safe (which is were I put my fish) fell over board. Such a shame.

Are assault bats and assault forks still legal?

As long as the bats arent made into a soup I dont see why not. The Forks... well they are pokey and stabby... almost as scary as sharpened pencils.

I thought Canadians were only allowed crayons for writing implements? Pens and pencils are way too deadly, you can poke an eye out.

This is what happens to a Country Controlled by Socialists . My Advice would be Vote for the : Other Guy : for a Change Canucks .........

I thought Canadians had the same Love of freedom, and hatred of oppression, as Americans.

: any of various automatic or semiautomatic firearms

However the prevailing thought seems to be an rifle with a grip that extends from the stock, painted black with rails. Or anything tacticool

IDK, I'd prefer mossy 500 or remy 870. Very partial to my ruger 10/22 though with the mini 30 a very close 2nd.

Yeah, Insley... so glad I'm not living in Washington any more...

Of course, I've got Kay Ivey here in Alabama...oh, yippee.

Oh, well. Hopefully, come November, she'll not be in office anymore.

One could make that work as long as they had a permit to have them on the boat to begin with

Then, you pretty much grease em up wrap up and bury for when the the SHTF in a big way..wouldn't want to get caught with one. Although..if you were a gangster, you would get 2 years suspended sentence, if you were joe citizen..they will go medieval.

here is what the U.S. Army says a assault rifle is.

The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges."[16] In this strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:[2][3][4]
It must be capable of selective fire.
It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle, such as the 7.92×33mm Kurz, the 7.62x39mm and the 5.56x45mm NATO.
Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine.[5]
It must have an effective range of at least 300 metres (330 yards).
Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are technically not assault rifles.
For example:
Select-fire M2 Carbines are not assault rifles; their effective range is only 180 metres (200 yd).[17]
Select-fire rifles such as the FN FAL battle rifle are not assault rifles; they fire full-powered rifle cartridges.
Semi-automatic-only rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities.
Semi-automatic-only rifles with fixed magazines like the SKS are not assault rifles; they do not have detachable box magazines and are not capable of automatic fire
Assault rifle

also battle rifles aren't assault riles. here's a article on that.

Assault Rifle vs Battle Rifle….What’s the difference?

and your right you can "assault" any one with any firearm, just take a little longer with some compared to others, and the shinny ones aren't as scary as the black ones.

Well thank God that their ridiculous registry failed.

So, none of our guns are registered anyway.

They have no clue who has what.

Good Luck with that.

The reason being ""Assault Weapons"" are for assault, rather than defense.

Not sure what you mean.

Canadians can't own guns for defense. We have to lie and say it's for hunting.

I'm one. Have only had to use the skill once though. But I'm ready to do so again, if needed.

If I wanted to assault people I could do it just as fast with a handgun as a AR-15 or other "scary rifle".

Bolt-action? I can do that too. I've had some bolt actions that were smooth as silk.

If you don't mind spent cartridges passing by your face you can set up a bipod, shoot with one hand, and work the bolt with the other hand.

Shotguns? Oh boy, you wanna talk about screwing some ish up? You got that right there.

I'm not quite as good with bow or sling, but I've seen some pretty quick people with those too.

A guy could run through a crowd with a knife a commit a spree of murder.

These "assault" bans are stupid. It's a slippery slide right down to the banning of a balled fist.

All guns can and will eventually be labelled as assault weapons by politicians who are hell bent on taking away our ability to defend ourselves and have even the slightest ability to hold our leaders accountable.

The shooter had a long criminal and violent history, and was known by police

BANNING CERTAIN GUNS WILL CHANGE ***NOTHING*****

At one point the Nova Scotia killer stole an RCMP officer's gun and used it to kill more people.


So, by that same liberal "logic", should we disarm RCMP officers also, so that police weapons are not used to commit crimes ?

The ACTUAL solution is the one fake "look at me! Look at ME, I'm so much more caring and smart than you" liberals will not do:

LOCK UP CRIMINALS *longer*. THREE STRIKES AND YOU ARE A LIFER IN PRISON.

This policy worked extremely well in the US dramatically reducing crime in the late 1980s-1990s ( Ex: Willie Horton - "super predator" comment by Hillary Clinton of all people, and she supported such permanent incarceration AT THE TIME)

THIS WORKS !!! HAS BEEN *PROVEN* TO WORK !!!
....until liberals got involved and reduced/dismantled the practice, of course....crocodile tear reasons and all that ....

Taking guns from law-abiding citizens achieves nothing !!
ZERO!!!
The UK has banned guns and the murders have shifted to knives with London having a murder rate higher than New York City !!
With NO GUNS
It is so bad that the deranged "solution" now being proposed is to control knives!!

INSTEAD---stop defending criminals and stop attacking law-abiding citizens----

ENOUGH !!!!

No, restricted weapons are still registered, shotguns, bolt action rifles are not registered..previously they were.

I spent 20 years in military combat units and have never heard of a weapon being called an "assault" anything. One of the dumbest terms I have ever heard. We called it a rifle.
