I need to get me one of those random spray pistol grips!! That would be perfect for Bulletfest!
Another example of the incredible stupidity of the typical anti. |
|
I can randomly spray bullets just fine without a pistol grip, thank you very much.
|
|
Man, thank God they don't know just how REALLY deady those flash suppressors are, or they'd ARREST everyone with so much as a PHOTO of one!
Idiots. |
|
Geeze, would someone slap this dipshit upside the head for me. |
|
|
Tak e a look a this fine piece of DECEPTION
The author talks about California Assault Weapons, then slips this one in:
Yellow Journalism. |
|
|
Steyr AUGs are banned because everyone knows the streets are FLOODED with them
|
|
This is a problem. If the receivers were simply listed as a part of the DOJ powers to add "series" firearms with resepect to AK and AR15 clones, we'd be pretty good to go here in Ca. But a legislative action resulting in a new law would be a bigger problem and can be the worst nightmare situation that we have been hoping won't happen. |

"It's really their killing potential," Alison Merrilees, legal counsel for the Firearms Division of the attorney general's office, said in explaining why assault weapons were banned. "The pistol grip allows them to be sprayed randomly. You can kill lots of people without having to reload."
Holy crap!!!! Bushmaster sells sprayfire machineguns for less than $13.00 everyday!!!! linky Edit: Man red font hurts my eyes more that good old blue |
|
I just ordered ten....let's hope they work better than the last ones I ordered (totally false advertisement) |
|

Sir, talk about incredible stupidity! "The pistol grip allows them to be sprayed randomly. You can kill lots of people without having to reload. The pistol grip gives a weapon more support and better positioning." Just another example of a civil servant in a position of authority rendering an opinion with no basis in fact!
Just for my own edification, if the above is a basis for this incredibly ignorant piece of legislation, why then does this legislation also ban the M1A rifle? JMHO, 7zero1. |
|
give them credit. you'd NEVER EVER EVER see this line in a major paper:
the legacy f the AWB is that somehow, even with the death, semi-automatic rifles somehow became assault weapons, which of course is impossiblem as an assault weapon is full auto. |
|
|
|
And before the import ban they were used in sooo many crimes... Matt |

I'll be sending a few letters out after work today, not only to the reporter, but also to the 'firearms experts.' Complete lack of firearms knowledge must be a prerequisite to becoming an expert in this field.
Now at least these guys have a clue-->
This leaves one choice for the mighty Attorney General and his team of firerms experts, right now there's nothing he can do as far as making them illegal, they are alredy in state legally and will eventually have to be grandfathered under any new legislation. When they decide to have the current laws re-written to include all the new off-list receivers..that will force them to open up the registration period so they can be legally registered as SAW's. At least that's my uderstanding of how things are headed. Good for our CA. brothers. |

It's obviously made up by the writer. No EBR owner would ever say that. |
||
|
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who caught that. Unfortunately, other than military rifle devotee's, most people would fall for this. Her propaganda skills are strong. |
||
|
The thing is, the people this article was written to arouse don't know the difference, and are easily confused. Since it isn't really something they can relate to, they will just accept the erroneous "facts," and that's why bad legislation easily slips through. Notice that they don't have any pending legislation about assault vehicles (SUVs); these same people would be crying up a storm. "We have to ban all these assault vehicles. They are copies of the military vehicles, whose ultimate mission is to kill people, so they have no place on our highways." |

I'm going to buy a DD M203 Grenade Launcher, for among other reasons, to tell my family in California I have one and they CAN'T.
Not that they would want one anyways... freeking heeeeepies But, they are good people. |
|
HEy dont laugh at that Liberian Guy above! Your just ignorant! He is just a Liberian MARINE! Chips ahoy matey!!!!!!! +
|
|
I just woke up, fixed my coffe and this is the first post I see.....
I have come to a conclusion, ALL GUNS ARE MEANT FOR KILLING PEOPLE! I cannot have this I am selling all my guns! |
|
Yeah, assuming his target is on the ground 20 feet in front of him... or is he kicking up a shower of stones to create a shotgun effect? He shouldn't have to reload because he does have one of those deadly pistol grips installed. |
|
|
Somebody asked me why I need an "assault weapon". I explained to him that my ancestors killed 3/4ths of the Indians, requisitioned 1/3 of Mexico and imported tens of thousands of Negros as slaves.
The last I heard, some people were massively upset about it. They wanted to exterminate white people, impose their religion and reconquer Mexico's lost territory. The latest I heard was, they are trying to tear down our flags and bomb our cities. That's why I own assault weapons. |
|
Even those idiots know better than to wear their pants on their thighs. |
|
|
Seeing as how the Republicans have decided that they are not conservatives nor no longer need the support of conservatives, we will all be suffering under new oppressive gun legislation soon.
|
|
So true. Just to name a few: .22 with tube magazine SKS M1A M1 Garand M1 carbine Mini 14 and variants There are many more. |
|
|
|
I remember this incident. The school was predominantly Vietnamese and this guy was trying to get revenge for losing 'Nam, or something like that. |
|
|
Everytime I see that pic, it cracks me up! I think he's using the "bounce the bullets off of the asphalt" technique. It is a combat-proven, highly effective way of killing folks. |
|
|
The Liberian Coast Guard ingrains this tactic into new recruits when they go through fleet marksmanship training. |
||
|
Yep, I remember it, too. This incident and the Luby's Cafeteria incident are the same to me. It doesn't matter what weapon they're using and how many bullets it holds...if you're not shooting back, then they have all the time in the world to reload, don't they? Scott |

|
That lower jaw perplexes me |
|
|
I hate the 'it's a weapon of war' argument. Isn't that exactly the type of weapons that are meant to be protected under the second amendment? Heck didn't the supreme court rule the reason why "sawed off" shotguns could be banned(or taxed, how ever you want to see it) is because they wouldn't have a purpose in a militia (i.e. it is not a 'weapon of war')?
|
|
I attached a tactical pistol grip to my johnson and now I'm a bitch-sprayin muthafucka... |
|
|
I got my AR and AK receivers. They're just sitting in the safe, waiting for the Kaliban to list them.
|
|
Yeah. A pistol grip is all you need to "spray randomly" without even reloading. I cannot believe the stupidity of these people. Alison Merrilees, legal counsel for the Firearms Division of the attorney general's office. Only in California. These people are in desperate need of a trip to the shooting range to learn some firearm basics. Does California have a history of inbreeding? How do they manage to have so many nutcases concentrated in one area? Ohhhhhh, it's the nasty protruding pistol grip!!!!!!!! |
|
|
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but the silver lining with that situation is that once those stripped lowers are declared/ruled an "assault rifle", and specifically named on a list, the onwers have 90 days to
build them into a complete rilfe (with all the banned features). They'll still have to be registered as an "assault rifle" within those 90 days. |
|
Not necessarily LoginName,
I have not purchased any of these lowers because I have always felt that it would be too big of a political disaster, not to mention personal humiliation for Lockyer, to allow 10's of thousands of new "assault weapons" to legally enter the state. It's a fairly simple matter for a combination of the DOJ, Legislature, and Judiciary to make those all those lowers expensive paper weights, good deals for the EE, or 10 round fixed mag rifles. I believe that this is exactly what they are going to do. I hope I'm wrong, but California is particularly adept at ignoring the constitution, and even it's own laws, when it suits the current political environment. |
|
Well for all of the Calif folks who legally bought the stripped lowers, I would assemble them as quickly as possible into legally completed gun ASAP, and save any all receipts and paper documetation for an audit trail, because the legislature could do funny things. There will be no stopping "them" from doing whatever.

Where the heck was that photo taken? Anyone know? |
|
|
And that pic is from Liberia... There's a whole thread of them here: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=430485 |

|
Well Said. James |
|
|
That was Liberia or Monrovia. You must have missed those threads a few months ago. That's a whole other topic in itself. Ask those clowns about random spraying. |
||
|
You cannot assemble a so called "assault weapons" on one of the off list receivers. Most people are assembling them with pinned magazines so that they will not meet the generic "assault weapon" definition. |
|
|
JESUS H. CHRIST. The effects of that law is that even members of this very fucking board don't even know the GD difference. "ASSAULT WEAPON" IS A COMPLETELY FABRICATED TERM! I won't give them or you credit. There is no such thing except on the books of certain states. The ones with the selector switch are ASSAULT RIFLES. There is a military and technical definition of this type of rifle. "Assault weapon" was a term fabricated for use in the 1994 AWB. Since that law no longer exists, there is no such thing except in the states that have their own AWB and it is still a bogus, fabricated term. |

WTF is he wearing a life jacket for? |
|

This is really bad ju-ju for californians who bought receivers and I'll tell you why:
Aparently Lockyer has realized that adding the receivers to the list would essentially legalize them. This is what we wanted. It was the easy way out. He ain't doing it. He wanted to create a new class of "new" AW's. We called him on it since the DOJ hasn't got the authority to do it. Now, instead of that, he is going to get the legislature to make new law preventing them from being made into AW's. I expect it to basically be a new AW ban which will require all receivers imported into california after 2000 to be only build as fixed 10 rnd mag guns. While they are at it they will probably also ban ALL semiautos with evil features, and grandfather current weapons that fit the description. This would presumably be the Kel-Tec SU-16's, and SKS's, and any others fitting the description. Mainly to prevent people from building fixed mag AR's with evil features. I think this will end badly. California gun owners stared the beast straight in the eyes and the beast is gonna fuck them. Basically: "Oh, I see how it is. Now I'm gonna really give you something to cry about." This is, unfortunately, what usually happens when you challenge the .gov. YOu can try to mess with them, but they will always be able to mess with you even more. Sorry guys. I had hopes, but I think you're totally fucked (again) this time. |

California is no place for gun-owners. They've made that clear enough. I say this to JEws who still live in Europe. They've made it clear that we're not welcome. There's VERY little that can justifiy living in that state and paying taxes there and contributing to its economy. |
