I personally don't see any reason for someone to own a semi-auto M16

Its just like any other rifle, it just has a larger carrying capacity than say a Remington semi-auto rifle.  Refer to my last post, Hobby....some firearms are nice to have because they are a part of history (M1 Garand, AK's, etc)

I personally don't see any reason why it should matter...unless someone wants to hurt someone.

alot of times the hunting rifles are deadlier, packing higher muzzle velocities (an advantage of manually ejecting your cartridge) and using more lethal rounds, the chambering allows for the use of magnum cartridges, and the bullets themselves are designed to damage as much tissue with a single round as possible, as opposed to the military's commonly used full metal jacket, which, excepting tumble, tends to make one uniform wound straight through the target, this is why sniper rifles more closely resemble hunting rifles

I've never seen anything require more than one shot from my browning .308

Have you ever hunted large animals like moose or bear?  You wouldn't want to try hunting them with a .308, and I wouldn't even recommend it for animals like Elk.

no, my browning has just played with white tail and boar, naturally when you approach the half ton mark you up to a magnum or similar, but your arsenal is a toolbox, you use the tool that fits the job, never hunted anything bigger (yet) so I haven't purchased anything bigger (yet), but considering that I can reload fairly quickly with the lever action, I think I may have a fair chance with an elk, maybe then only one shot provided I can get clean straight through lungshot and have big enough wound to make a trackable blood trail, damn hard to believe I haven't been hunting in the past decade, this is giving me the urge to go

No one blames the car when the drunk driver slams into a minivan killing

I wonder how much tax money they made and how much they will make since sales are steadily going up

a ban on guns would only take the guns away from the lawful citizens

instead of a ban how about stricter laws and harsher prisons, a lot of people go to prisons to get away from the life they are living on the streets and actual using the death sentence would be a good curb against violence

OMFG I love you!!!!!!!!! Finally someone who is not braindead 

i agree with most, but instead of stricter laws, stricter enforcement of existing laws. blame the lenient prosecutors and judges, and the corrupt prisons where inmates can still get drugs, and live comfortable, decent lives, there is where the problem lies.

Maybe we could start a thread about Europe's obsession with child pornography?  The Pedophilia Culture.

Just because in America we don't drop guns and run away from them, as has been rumored to be the case with some European nationals, does not make us "obsessed" with guns.  No more than we are "obsessed" with sissors just because we own them and use them.

following the successful british knife ban, the great family pastime "running with scissors" is next on the slate

So I loaded it and put it in condition one (loaded with one in the chamber, safety on), put it on the table and said Go ahead kill.

Well, maybe next time just say "To protect my loved ones from those that would cause harm, etc, etc, ad nauseam."

Don't have to be an ass....

But it is funny.

Just another reason I don't like plastic and polymers in my guns

But please, don't think all brownings are like that.

Yeah and all polymer guns are NOT like that, in the buckmark the plastic piece is not the same polymer as say Glock or HK frames.  Your ignorance shines through, its ok not to dislike polymer guns for other reasons.  Subjecting any firearm to higher than normal temperatures can cause it to fail.  1911's too and other steel framed pistols.  Treat your guns better, and they will respond appropriately.

I know not all polymer guns are like that, I never said ALL polymer guns did that, but it is another nail in the coffin for me, it's just personal preference.  But polymers can be weakend quite a bit due to exposure to some every day chemicals and solvents.  But to be honest, the real reason I don't like polymers is cause they just throw the ballance of the gun off for me.  Always feels like the gun is to front heavy and can't point shoot it as well.  There are other reasons I don't like polymer frames, but they are all just personal preference more than anything.  I know they are strong and reliable under damn near any conditions I would put em through, but I've never liked em.  To be honest I'm not even sure if it's the polymer frame I don't like, just all the polymer frame gun's I've handled have never felt comfortable to me.

Of course, I only say this for handguns, for rifles, I love synthetics and fiberglass.  They don't warp like wood does, are exceedingly easy to bed a rifle in to, and if you mess up making a fiberglass stock and take off to much material, it's easy to just add more fiberglass.  Any rifle I'm building for my self get's a fiberglass stock, or if I've got a customer who wants the most accurate rifle they can get.

Good to know that you are very knowledgeable, glad you pointed out the front heavy balance point, sometimes I hear people talking trash (not that you were) about Glocks/HK/etc when I have seen so many 1911's fail for some similiar and different reasons.  It makes sense if you object to something for a good reason.  Yayyy Good convo man.  I tend to like receiver heavy guns a bit more, but some of the glocks don't feel front heavy at all too me, pretty well balanced.  But damn are 1911's just dead sexy. Mmmm.
