Their massive .223 inch bore size, for one.

Good one

It isn't any more dangerous than any other semi-auto rifle. It's just a popular rifle and it usually looks "tactical," so it gets a lot of attention from people who know nothing about guns.

Can you answer it? Yes or no?

NP here. You do not get to issue edicts that other people must follow. If you want information, try GOOGLE.

The point was that there was no list banning specific guns in the federal AWB. Anyone who claims there was is either uneducated, or lying

The irony here is rich.

Here's some trivia to illustrate (and underscore):
From when until when was the TEC-9 produced, and why was it discontinued?

Bonus question:
Where did the name for its successor, the AB-10, come from?

So you are claiming that the TEC9 was banned by name in the law, or are you just trying to twist things to fit your narrative?

I'm claiming that if you spend a few seconds googling for the answer to the first question, your question will be answered. (AB = After Ban, btw - but go google anyway since it should be humbling)

Okay, so you still haven't provided anything refuting that the Clinton AWB did not have any form of list which banned specific firearms


If it existed, refuting my claim would be a simple matter of copy/paste. Though of course that would require for the law to actually contain such language, which it does not

Here you go:

`(30) The term `semiautomatic assault weapon' means--
``(A) any of the firearms, or copies or duplicates of the
firearms in any caliber, known as--
``(i) Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat
Kalashnikovs (all models);
``(ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and
Galil;
``(iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70);
``(iv) Colt AR-15;
``(v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC;
``(vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
``(vii) Steyr AUG;
``(viii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and
``(ix) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to)
the Street Sweeper and Striker 12;

Another swing, and another list


That list isn't a list of banned firearms

Uh yes they are it’s from the 1994 law. Part A list weapons specifically banned. Part B, not shown, lists characteristics of unnamed weapons which would also be considered semi-auto for the AWB


Time for you to eat some crow.

No, that is not a list of firearms specifically banned, that is a definition and nothing more.

That would have been glaringly obvious for anyone who paid attention to the fact that AR15's were available for sale throughout the ban

So why do all the hunters say it's the best tool for the job (which is killing)?

I don't think "all the hunters" say that. Either you're making that up, or the people who call themselves hunters are seriously misrepresenting themselves. The AR is a very versatile platform, able to be customized and adapted to many different roles. But it's still always going to have an upper caliber limit, which will also limit its usefulness as a hunting rifle.

It's a great rifle for a lot of things. But it's not the "best" hunting rifle (though maybe for some things). I would, however, say that it's probably one of the best all-around rifles for things like sport shooting and home defense. But even those statements don't mean a whole lot because "best" depends on what it's being used for.

It’s incredibly modular and customizable, has low recoil, handles lots of calibers (for hunting, home defense, competition shooting), is much easier to use than something like a shotgun (so good for disabled persons, such as a veteran I know who uses one to protect his home). But you’ve decided that they’re evil, or “machine guns,” or only used by “sucky hunters,” and have no legitimate purpose. So I’m not going to say anything else, because you have your opinion about them. So do the millions of normal Americans who own them.

Ps: they’re not going anywhere, so focus on something else.

Hey what school are you going to shoot up?

A mentally ill person kills a bunch of students and your response is take away guns? Try again. You won’t be restricting my rights because of some wacko. Not today. Not ever.

^^^would refuse to give up his gun even if it meant saving the life of a child.

I'd refuse to give up my ability to protect my kids because someone had a theory that making me and my family defenseless would stop crazies from killing people.

Delusional.

Average citizens wielding guns has never protected or stopped anything in America. You may have your handful of anecdotes or the random YouTube video of something like a shopkeeper shooting wildly while some thugs run away but in aggregate it is all for nothing. America actually has *more* violent crime per capita than modern industrialized nations that have gun control.

There's nothing that specifically says it should be. The 2nd Amendment doesn't specify what kind of arms one can keep and bear.

Well if you're a conservative who abhors the idea of a "living constitution" then "arms" mean arms as of 1789 - so muskets and the like.
