if shoestrings are machineguns, hard to believe rubber bands and belt loops aren't too

 

[Fast Frank]

Don't these guys know about the political climate around here?

Why in the world would they give the gun grabbers a video like that to use against us?

"It's easily converted to a machine gun" say the gun grabbers.

"No it's not" we say.

Then, this Bozo makes that video.

How am I supposed to argue with the gun grabbers now?

 

[akolleth]

What was this guy thinking?

Wake up and smell the coffee here people. This is a battle where we stand to loose most, if not everything we hold dear with our rights to bear arms of our choice. Jokers like this simply help spread the fear and panic against guns, and specifically assault weapons.

We are fighting a massive uphill battle here folks, and people who feed the publics perceived fear and ignorance of guns with videos like this just hinder our cause all the more. What makes it worse is its one of our own-

We need to remain unified in our effort to show the masses that guns are not horrible, evil, weapons of mass destruction. We need to show the public that gun owners are above all responcable users of the tool we have been given the right to own.

 

[highorder]

how incredibly irresponsible. between this, and kids shooting propane tanks, yourube has done more to erode support for gun rights than the MSM...

or is yourube now the MSM?...

My point would be that we should be allowed to have machine guns

 

[High Planes Drifter]

What the hell did he do wrong?

eidted:

exactly. Shall not be infringed means what it says.

at least 3 of us dont like to see this kind of stuff posted for general consumption... it doesn't help the cause.

having said that, he probably didn't do anything illegal, but neither did alot of folks that get trampled by the BATFE

Its HIS business. You may not like it, but

1) Despite your commitment to appease the Brady Campaign and not offend the gun grabbers, he isnt breaking any laws

2) We should be allowed to own full auto weapons, and if you were a true supporter of the 2A you wouldnt care about what the hell the Brady Campaign thinks about that video in the first place. True freedom doesnt lend itself to the theory of compromising our rights.

Its His property. And he shouldnt have to resort to jerry rigging his gun with a rubber band in the first place.


First they came for the fully automatic rifles and I said nothing because I didnt see why anyone needed a full auto.

Then they came for the military style rifles and I said nothing because it didnt affect my .270 Weatherby....


You know the rest.

Sorry, Pal, I was Born with the right.

Your damn straight you were.

 

[toemag]

As a Limey living in €urope to escape the ridiculous gun law's in Britanistan I'd say GG. got it right we should all be allowed to own full auto if we wish to do so, and to make a further suggestion the gun grabbers can move to Britanistan where they can all feel safe.

wow, pointed insult #1 of the day! did you skip your morning coffee?

I am a full supporter of the Second Ammendment, and believe in automatic weapons for all law abiding citizens. what he does IS his business, and I have the right to suggest its counterproductive.

Point of fact I don't care what the brady bunch thinks of that video; I am more concerned with what the general public thinks, as they are the ones that make the trip to the ballot box.

as a side note, I found your post assuming and slightly offensive. Thankfully, you also have a right to your opinion.

 

[highorder]

also,

We should be allowed to own full auto weapons

wrong. our Right should be recognized.

 

[strangelittleman]

What I can't figure out is; If he has gone to all the trouble to build and register a SBR, why did he not go ahead and make it full-auto as well and just skip the silly rubber band garbage....Bump firing...waste of time, effort, ammunition........foolishness!

 

[highorder]

unless I missed something, an SBR will cost you rifle+$200 Tax stamp. M-16's are significantly more than $10,000.

please correct me if I am mistaken.

No sir. I take exception to all references of compromising with the other side any time of day. Morning, noon , or night.

Exactly.

and I have the right to suggest its counterproductive.

Counterproductive to what? Are you under the assumption that if that video would'nt have been shot, or if no one had ever come up with a trigger reset, that the gun grabbers would back off for some strange reason? Oh what a pleasant thought. Naive, but pleasant. Come to the reality that they will not stop until they have everything, and nothing will substitute that. The line in the sand has already been drawn. This video made nothing of a difference. Nothing. Further, it serves no purpose to try to appease anyone who has a view from the other side. Stop acting like it does.

I am more concerned with what the general public thinks, as they are the ones that make the trip to the ballot box.

Im more concerned with his right(and mine) to do with his property as he see's fit. I'd ratrher live free as an oddball, and fight for my right to do so, then appease the masses. Sorry.

I found your post assuming and slightly offensive. Thankfully, you also have a right to your opinion.[/

Im fairly certain that the individual who made that video would find some of these posts more than slightly offensive. But thank you for recognizing my right to an opinion. Now, would you be so polite as to extend the same kindness to him?

 

[High Planes Drifter]

wrong. our Right should be recognized.

Agreed. Now tell me; why all the insults to the guy? Its his right.

 

[Outlaws]

I think it is obvious who owns gun strictly for fun, because with how scared some people sound over a stupid video, I can image the mess on the floor if someone broke into their house.

 

[possum]

well that is something that i have absolutly no need for!

 

[akolleth]

I feel I have to respecfully disagree with many of you on this subject--

Having an arrogant, in your face, blatant attitude in these days will solve nothing, it will just fuel the pyre of anti-gun fervor.

We need to think smarter, and fight this threat which is going to come crashing through all our barriers any day now. If we don't unify and come up with a plan other than ignoring it, the Brady people along with the other anti's WILL rally enough public sheeple support to crush us. We need desperately to win the publics support for this, not to push them even further away from our cause by flaunting what will cause fear and loathing, no matter how legal it may be.


Arrogantly ignoring the threat we are facing will cost us our rights to own firearms, plain and simple. Face the facts, we are in a war here, and if we loose, we will loose our rights to own firearms of our choice.

 

[akolleth]

Sorry, Pal, I was Born with the right.

Well you better ask the citizens of Great Britan, Japan, Canada, Australia, Spain, and numerous others about how much that God Given right matters to the anti's.

 

[PercyShelley]

Relax folks, look at his hands. He's bump firing it which, pending the capricious reversal by the BATFE, is not currently considered to constitute a machinegun. The rubber band is just to hasten the trigger reset.

Thus, the video depicts activity that some may find offensive, either because it is frivolous or scary to the ignorant, but it is not (yet) illicit.

The only harm this video could cause is to someone predisposed to a fear of guns, but not totally committed to the hoplophobic agenda.

I think if this video had explained the technicalities of what's going on, how it isn't illegal or even that useful, and why auto and semi auto fire are actually no big deal, it could have been a very helpful meme floating around out there.

Well, we see where negotiating with them has gotten us. Im not going to dilute my belifs to appease anyone, and I dont fell the guy in the video should have to either.

It seems the main difference in oppinion here , is how we feel when we watch the video. You see an irresponsible, careless gun owner who you feel is doing more harm than good to your "cause".


When I watch the video, I feel sorry for the guy. I feel sorry that he has to modify a 9 hundred dollar rifle with a 15 cent rubber band, to achieve what he should be able to buy off the shelf. I also feel that there are some in this thread who do not know the true meaning of the Second Ammendment. You say that we are in a fight to save or rights, how can you be fighting to save our rights when you do not recognize them yourself?

 

[High Planes Drifter]

To the best of my knowledge, they dont have a BOR to protect that God Given Right.

However, Im not an expert on foriegn governments and Constituions, so I'll await a confirmation from someone more versed in that field.
