MODERATORS
Are you planning any mass shootings? Because that's the only thing AR-15s and large magazines are good for.
Lol no they are not. They're just plastic rifles, they function the same as any other semi-auto rifle. Lol you anti-2a people are hilarious, you're so ignorant of firearms and even statistics you end up looking like those idiots who want to ban abortion.
A hot take from the "it's because of video games, rap music and buildings having too many doors" crowd.
You don't need to be an expert at sexually abusing children to make child abuse laws and you don't need to know the calibre and capacity of 100 guns to see that the current laws are dogshit and can't keep guns out of the hands of even the reddest of flags.
Lol you're really going to go with "FUDD represents all firearm owners"? If I recall correctly tipper gore is the one who got the labels slapped on CDs...
You're arguing with a liberal gun owner, you absolutely should know about weapons you're trying to ban, because you clearly don't understand the difference between a plastic semi auto rifle and one with a wood stock... they're literally the same thing.
Speaking of red flags, have you gone through your own comment history and tallied up the number of times you've talked about sexually abusing children?
It seems you have a common theme on your mind.
Dangerous straws to grasp for gun advocates. I know what their forums look like.
Yes, those forums known as Reddit, Lemmy, etc... you're showing incredible works cited: crack pipe energy.
You already used that joke and it was shit the first time.
There was no joke, unfortunately.
Oh, wow - I'll have to let my hunting group know our AR-15s chambered in .350 Legend complete with standard magazines just aren't any good for deer because this rando on the Internet said so.
Maybe it's different in your state, but hunting rifles and shotguns are limited to 6 rounds between mag and chamber.
It is very much different in my state; my understanding is that such restrictions are only prevalent in states which are already overly-restrictive on such matters.
Iowa's general restrictions are effectively that the caliber must be between .350 and .500 caliber barring the special population management season which additionally allows .223/5.56x45mm. That's it.
The hunting season may come with additional restrictions, but they're generally of the "primitive" aka bow/muzzle-loader, "long-gun", etc. categories.
So Iowa doesn't allow 30-30 or 30-06 rifles for deer? That seems crazy as those are some of the most popular rifles. I believe the round limit is more about encouraging people to take better shots and prevent wounding deer/other game with spray and pray styles.
Correct.
The stated concerns are less "spray and pray" and more the potential for over-travel even on a not-hasty shot.
Fun fact, you can carry two rifles.
So now you have two AR-15s with 10 bullets.
This law wouldn't have stopped anything.
You can also carry 2 cakes. But eating them is an other matter.
