You messed up your poll, you can either choose yes or no, or your age, not both a choice and age

And that is a very valid question, are we talking appearance, or function?

Assault rifles or "type" have to be capable of full auto fire which we all know about. So that makes this poll irrelevant...or a troll poll.

In this case it would mean function. If it looks like a Duck and walks and quacks like a Duck, there's a pretty good chance it is a Duck.

Its frightening that on a firearms forum that there are 14 people who support a firearms ban of any kind.

Chuck we don’t agree on much but I have to say you nailed it.

I have to wonder how the folks in favour of a ban figure it’ll change their lives? Does knowing your neighbor doesn’t have a semi automatic with a 5 rnd mag help you sleep better at night?

Wasn't sure if this was an exclusive Firearms forum or not. Maybe should have posted the poll on an Outdoors forum .Frightening indeed.

Voted no.

You can't ban insanity, and in my opinion the idiots who carry out these attacks are definitely insane.

I would bet money that the 23 that voted for a ban have never shot a black semi and have absolutely no clue how much fun they can be.

It’s nice to see we are not the minority around here. I have a friend that sees a gun as a weapon and busted me in front of others for showing him one. I had it to go blast gophers after work at the in-laws which is minutes from the shop. A KelTec sub 2000 is not a machine gun my friend

It’s been so long since I’ve been out blasting and just haven’t had time. I’m kind of concerned thieves will follow me home and rob me it’s getting worse by the day where my private range is.

So you think one person's thoughts represent a whole group?

You sound similar to the thought process of the type of people who think its a problem solving concept of banning legally obtained property owned by a bunch of law abiding citizens because of a very small number of bad individuals.

How about deal with the broken individuals and quit blaming the people who are minding their own business properly and lawfully.
