Sorry, apparently it was Gallup and 63%: http://news.gallup.com/poll/179213/six-americans-say-guns-homes-safer.aspx

Well if 40% say they own a gun, would you say it's more likely that some of them are falsely claiming to own a gun or that some people who do own a gun are not admitting it? Here's another figure. According to Pew, 58% of Americans feel that having a gun in the home makes the owner safer...

M1A is on what list? I don't think it is on the "banned by name list" but most have a threaded barrel and a barrel shroud. It will only take one "feature" to ban guns if the law passes. A new ban compliant model could be made if not already but unless exempted, a full-feature M1A should be a...

Yes, I would agree that is the original definition, copied verbatim in GCA 68 if I'm not mistaken. While they may call it clarification, there is no clarifying the original definition to cover bumpstocks that I can see. They are creating an entirely different, multiple trigger pull, approach...

I'm pretty sure that is wrong too. I weighed a G40 a while back on a good scale and it was a good bit heavier than the site shows. Can't recall the exact number now. OK, did a weigh in: 32.6 oz empty, no mag 35.7 oz empty std. mag, empty chamber 44.2 oz 17 rds of 155 jhp, empty chamber...

Another one of those vague terms. When I think of crime guns, they may be cheap makes or pretty nice but they are usually so abused and broken that no legal buyer would want them, other than as a project. That is just my perception though, I had a Jennings .22 briefly. It jammed a little and...

I would agree if the longstanding definition of what constitutes a MG were not very specific and focused on "shots per single function of the trigger". This does not account for external means of pulling the trigger faster. And it probably should but we should not just allow the bureaucracy to...

It's a post-fact world guys. Sad.

Some examples to illustrate how simple and easy it is to identify a true class of firearms and how convoluted is the definition of an "invented" class of firearms. I don't know if the definition of an assault weapon will fit in one post. We'll see: Definitions of: Semi-auto firearm: A...

"I would tend to think, even not using astrophysics, that Oregon's accurate definition would hold up in court, over, let's say....your subjective definition". Umm, OK, what IS my subjective definition? The historical definition of assault rifle has been posted repeatedly. Doesn't seem...

The relevant statutory question is whether a particular device causes a firearm to "shoot . . .automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger." 26 U.S.C. 5845(b). The ATF has already subtly changed this clear definition which is used in the NFA...

In case I forgot to say it :), this is an assault weapon: http://photos1.blogger.com/img/155/5813/1024/TEC1.jpg And this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7d/a8/de/7da8de7f40cc54924e70aaf317853c99.jpg And this: http://www.fototime.com/F214D44FC7BEB57/large.jpg The Barrett, while actually...

I think they have about all the power they're going to get. Not to mention further restrictions in many cases. Some of us are determined to operate an open air prison/asylum on our streets, restricting everyone down to the level appropriate for the "problem children". I've committed no crime...

Pretty ironic that the Peterson quote indicates the industry used the term to promote a category of guns based on appearance...and then the antis codified the term to ban guns...based on appearance. Of the two, I'd prefer imprecise fluff terms in marketing over lawmaking. I understand this is...

As is trying to use "assault weapon" as a legal term, primarily to cast a negative light on whatever the term is applied to. It really is the counterpart to "modern sporting rifle". As I said before, it is most precise to stick to a dry, technical description of firearms. The problem for gun...

If they were making a case for our beliefs...actually leading... they might've had a shot at that too. For years, they've said "We need more and more power". "Then you'll see results". Still not seeing it.

Well, I did say nearly complete control for a reason. They have all the power we can possibly give them and it doesn't seem like we're getting an honest effort. Good to know that the party affiliation of the President, Senate and House are basically irrelevant though. Now I can vote my...

Indeed. It's "LITERALLY" the most misused word in the English language. I wouldn't exaggerate.

Regarding law, words and definitions are extremely important. It may seem like petty stubbornness but when others start playing fast and loose with definitions in an attempt to ban very commonly used guns, we have to insist on accuracy. Besides, this is not astrophysics. Our opposition is...

The magazine covers may well be actual assault rifles or perhaps semi-auto versions of them, which would be technically inaccurate usage. I recall using the term at least once in that time period, referring to a Ruger Mini-14, which ironically has not been banned other than a couple of...
