The following article refutes myths:
1. They're coming for your guns - gun owners outman the US military and police by 79:1
2. Lesser gun laws make you safer - high correlation of states with lax gun ownership and gun deaths
3. Good guys stop bad guys - No mass shooting have been stopped by armed civilians in 33 years
4. There are more gun owners - Actually there are less, the current ones are just buy more
5. Don't need more gun laws - In a survey, 40% of inmates say they got their guns through private sellers wo background checks.

None of which is necessary because I can also just fit any semi-auto rifle with a "bump" stock. Which is just a spring in the shoulder stock that pushes the entire rifle forward after firing recoil is absorbed. The shooter simply holds his finger in place as the gun moves forward and the trigger is depressed again without doing anything else. Incredibly high rates of fire can be achieved very simply. Here is an example of a commercial one. As you can see, there is nothing at all complicated about the design at all, and a couple pieces of inter-fitting pipe with a spring and maybe some wood for comfort would do exactly the same thing on any semi-auto rifle.
As to high capacity magazines - Again, magazines are just some sheet metal formed into a rectangular tube with a spring, it's not like they are produced in a secret hidden laboratory. The design is done, there is nothing to it, and you can seriously have two left hands and modify that. For anybody with a desire to do this stuff, it's pretty simple.Last edited by Wisko McBadgerton; 10-03-2017, 08:04 AM.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Re: Days Since Last Shooting II
Australia also happens to be an ISLAND. Makes it a little tougher to import guns.
I'm for stricter background checks, but if you think banning any sort of gun will improve anything, you are mistaken.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

The problem is you guys keep changing the discussion and that stops any real progress towards reducing gun deaths.Go Gophers!

As long as you have a machine shop and can work with sheet metal, right?
I understand that there are how-to's on the interwebs for almost anything.
Doesn't mean just anybody could pull it off.
I'd have more faith in Brent's underworld connections than the average idiot building his own high capacity magazine.

Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostI hope that you are not that naive. If one wants a gun in this country, they will get one. Banning them is impossible at this stage of the game. Frankly, I'm two/three calls away from getting an untraceable gun.

There are far more similarities between Australia and the US than not.
