• Read the AP’s ‘Gun Glossary’ — Did They Get ‘Assault Rifles’ & the Second Amendment Right?

  I disagree. There is no way to assemble an effective militia from among the people who own guns and do not know each other very well, and certainly don’t have a command structure. The federal government and states have neglected the militia to the point that it no longer exists, with every political decision maker claiming that the National Guard is the modern militia…it is not. The states need to do what the founders suggested, and gather up the militia regularly (not all at once necessarily) to ensure a state of readiness. If the National Guard is the elite militia from which officers are chosen, that’s fine; but the rest of the militia needs to be a part of the structure.

  More importantly, if you buy from a private seller ANYWHERE there’s no background check…there is no special exemption at gun shows, private seller or not; and some states actually created a special requirement that private sales at gun shows must include a background check just like dealer sales, while private sales outside of gun shows do not.

  Why do people keep saying that fully automatic weapons aren’t banned? This article says semi-auto “assault rifles” were banned in 1994 but full autos are just “restricted”…well the 1986 full-auto ban works the same way as the 1994 ban: it bans machine guns manufactured after the date of the ban. Actually, the 1986 ban is harsher, because it requires NFA registration for the grandfathered guns while the 1994 ban does not. This article is even more misleading, because it says without mentioning the fact that they’re banned, that fully automatics include modern rifles and pistols, when modern full autos can’t be legally purchased at all.

  That’s so weird…I thought the San Andreas Fault was the San Andreas Fault of this country. Well, what country is the actual San Andreas Fault the San Andreas Fault of, then?

• Blaze Exclusive: Check Out the Paratus .308 Clandestine Breakdown Special Ops Rifle — Available to Civilians, Too

  Don’t you guys realize how dangerous this thing is? It’s clearly not for civilians, because it’s not made of wood! Civilians can’t be trusted with guns that aren’t brown, especially if they have places to put attachments. And besides, look at that grip. This is supposed to be a rifle, so why does it have a pistol grip? Don’t you know that pistol grips are only used for killing people?! Plus look at that magazine! Nobody needs to be able to spray that many bullets. If this gun were sold with just a 5-round or 10-round magazine, or if bigger magazines were totally illegal, we wouldn’t have to worry about someone using it for mass-killings or cop shoot-outs being able to “fire so rapidly and [have] so many bullets” that “you can’t get to him to dislodge the gun”, because of course no criminals ever get a bigger magazine than what guns come with or the law allows. People should have to reload at least every 10 rounds. Oh, and this thing is semi-automatic. That’s practically the same thing as a machine gun – a “heavy weapon”! Don’t you realize how much faster bad guys can fire bullets from a semi-auto firearm than, say, from a revolver (like Jerry Miculek)?

  Maybe you can explain how this rifle is any less appropriate for sport shooting or hunting than the http://www.ruger.com/products/mini14RanchRifle/models.html Mini14 RANCH RIFLE? Or is that a problem, too?
