this whole thread had me quietly laughing, but as i read this i laughed out loud here in the tv lounge at a college, people probably think im crazy.

Atleast they got the terminology correct. I do hate to say that I agree with a large portion of the article. Its just a shame that they turned this good info evil to serve their dubious purpose.

* A pistol grip on a rifle or shotgun, which facilitates firing from the hip, allowing the shooter to spray-fire the weapon. A pistol grip also helps the shooter stabilize the firearm during rapid fire and makes it easier to shoot assault rifles one-handed.

Whoever came up with this little gem never tried one-handing a FAL. or a 12ga for that matter

Gee, tha only thing that I've ever fired that could "spray fire" was an M-16 set on FULLY AUTOMATIC way back in boot camp. And I wouldn't have been able to fire it one-handed from the hip and still hit what I was aiming at. If the ability to "spray fire" is what determines an assault weapon, then ligoc dictates that ONLY guns with FULLY AUTO capability fit the description.

Hmmm you could "spear hunt" with a bayonet, you can open a can of tuna or sardines, and you can roast hotdogs over a fire or make shishkabob's. I can think of a lot of uses for a bayonet.

Funny thing about firing from the hip, first there would be NO stock if this bullcrap were true, second the "pistol grip" would be on the top of the gun angled forward with the trigger at the tip of the grip, and third there would be NO sights on the firearm at all.

Lee Harvey Oswald: killed one- John F. Kennedy, President U.S.A. Weapon used- 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle.

Charles Whitman: Killed 14 while perched on the University of Texas at Austin's Clock Tower. Weapon used- Remington 700 bolt action rifle with a 4x scope. (It is known Whitman had other firearms with him- multiple pistols, a sawed off shotgun and an M-1 Carbine- the weapon that most likely killed was the bolt action rifle.

Robert Hawkins: Killed 8 in crowded mall. Weapon used- semi-automatic AK-47.



Seems to me, bolt action rifles have had a bit more influence on history.

In addition, the flash suppressor is useful for providing stability during rapid fire, helping the shooter maintain control of the firearm.

Uh, that sounds more like a muzzle brake to me.

I guess if you can't win with the truth, get very creative with the lying.

What's really funny is that the California "Assault Weapons" ban, which is the template by which all socialist state governments write anti-gun ordinances, was originally founded by Feinstein using alot of the info from Brady.......so Flash Suppressors are illegal for the same reason ("they ensure accuracy during rapid fire") and, get this , "they hide the shooter's location" I always thought that muzzle breaks gave you stability, and that flash suppressors helped keep you from going blind, insuring that you could see what you are shooting at.

These idiots can't seem to make up their mind - they decry people shooting randomly and causing random death, so they take away options they believe allow you to shoot randomly and cause random death, bu that are also designed to increase accuracy because when you have increased accuracy, death results. HUH!?!?!?!!?!!

Oh - and you CAN have a muzzle break, but you CAN'T have a flash suppressor in CA. So apparently you CAN shoot more accurately, but not really, but maybe you can, but maybe Feinstein doesn't know about it......
