I like guns and I would totally own a WASR and AR15 if I could but I don't see any good arguments in favor of people owning a semiautomatic 5.56. Bolt action seems like a reasonable compromise.

Care to make a good argument in the government restricting them?

-Semi-autos are highly useful in certain hunting applications
-(US) Semi-autos are in common use and not especially dangerous or unusual, thus cannot be banned as an entire class.
-Semi-autos are regularly and frequently used for a multitude of lawful purposes.
-ALL rifles (of any type of action) are used relatively infrequently, as a percentage of guns involved in crimes.

I didn't know people hunted with AR15s. I could have sworn they make smaller calibers that could be used in hunting situations that require a semiautomatic. I am fairly certain I was commenting on large calibers rifles and pistols and small calibers rifle. Oh and I'm in before you cleverly try to point out that there are larger calibers rifles in existence.

You can talk about how little they are used in crimes and this is nice but not a single non law enforcement American needs a 7.62 semiautomatic WASR with a 100 round magazine.

.223 is a pretty small caliber

If rifles are hardly used in crimes why is there an issue?

Because no one needs such a large caliber semiautomatic rifle. There is not a single reason anyone needs to be able to fire off a 100 7.62s without reloading. I don't care if they aren't used much in crime. Hell I want one. But I'm saying in principle no one needs that shit.

I don't think owning all sorts firearms is a right given to you by God like some people (read: most) in this thread seems to think it is. Cut the entitled bullshit.

Shower of brass from a pair of 5.56mm AR15's made by Bradley Arms practicing harrasing fire. UK Spec means no semi-auto so these are custom built with no gas parts and a bolt action operation. Specs are both 20" stainless border barrels with 1/8 rifling and SAMMI spec chambers to cycle milsurp with ease.

Sorry Mac. One word why I should be allowed access to that. Katrina. I live in the South where natural disasters can and do bring civil unrest. Just look at what happened in New Orleans. Armed bands of thugs looting, raping, and pillaging. There was zero law enforcement. Hell, some of the LEO's were just as bad as the criminals. So how do you protect yourself from the hordes? That 10 round mag ain't going to do it. Oh... The cherry on that particular turd was Mayor Nagan unconstitutionally ordering the police chief to go around and confiscate firearms. I have never seen such asshattery. There are legit reasons not to restrict this kind of thing. An one can go even further.... Enjoy!. Kinda makes me want to go and get a Type 2/3 SOT.

There is no real reason people need Ferraris, or Ford F150s in the city, or phones that play movies, or half the other things in society today. Just because you won't die without it, doesn't mean it should be illegal.

...and if you think a .223 is a large caliber rifle cartridge, you are just showcasing your ignorance on the subject.

Same things have happened in other areas that were struck by hurricanes and natural disasters. New Orleans was a shithole to begin with. If something big happened in Western Sydney I'd doubt it'd be as calm as Brisbane.

couple questions
so how many rounds per magazine is acceptable or reasonable to you?
You say no one needs such large caliber semi auto rifles. Does that include law enforcement and military?

Introducing funny restrictions on what a firearm can and can't have just won't stop people acquiring them.

eg.
http://www.guncity.co.nz/223-gun-city-a … 41684.html
This requires an A-category firearms liscence - the sort you need for hunting rifles, shotguns etc because technically it meets the requirements for that class. (no pistol grip, 7rd mag among others) It won't be hard to get hold of a 30rd magazine, and it won't be hard to saw off that shitty bar between the grip & stock - hey presto, you've just turned a "hunting" rifle into a military style rifle.

Overland Park will allow legal gun owners to openly carry weapons in public, with conditions

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
September 25, 2012 - 8:40 am EDT

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Overland Park residents will be able to carry their guns in public, with certain restrictions.

The Overland Park City Council on Monday approved an ordinance allowing legal gun owners to openly carry their weapons, if they are in holsters with the safety engaged.

The council passed the ordinance after the Kansas attorney general said cities may not completely prohibit open carry of a loaded firearm while on public property. Some Overland Park officials said they were concerned the city could be sued if it didn't allow open carry.

Gun owners will be allowed to carry weapons on sidewalks, parks and buildings that don't have signs prohibiting firearms. Business owners will be able to post signs refusing to allow guns in their businesses. Guns will not be allowed inside city-owned buildings.

Aside from not getting hassled when transporting your weapon to and from your car, wtf is the point?
