Fellow Bostonians: How many of us wished we had an assault weapon last night?

@Glennn,

Yours is definitely not my argument, as well.

@oralloy,

You're not right. You've never been right. You're wrong. You continue to be wrong.

@InfraBlue,

Wrong again. I've always been right. You cannot provide any motivation for outlawing pistol grips other than the fact that progressives enjoy violating people's civil liberties.

Ah, so you do hold the indefensible and silly belief that pistol-grips and flash suppressors turn a rifle into something more than a rifle.

@Glennn,

Your conclusion is a non sequitur.

@InfraBlue,

Not taking a position on the issue of pistol-grips, flash suppressors, and other things kind of makes your contributions here nonexistent.

You remind me of a rodeo clown, trying to draw attention from the target, and really not being paid enough for the abuse you're taking.

I've thoroughly explained to you and others my position on gun control that included the issue of pistol-grips, flash suppressors and other features found on assault weapons on these threads. Endlessly asking the same questions doesn't change my position.

So there is no reason for having a pistol grips on rifles? LOL

Yeah, and as I recall, you couldn't produce anything to show that pistol-grips or flash suppressors turn a rifle into something more than a rifle. How is my recollection so far?

You did say that a combination such as the one mentioned above is what you believe makes a rifle especially dangerous, or is my recollection faulty?

I remember you. You're one of the ones who believe that a pistol grip turns a rifle into a waaay more deadly gun. But like others in this thread, you can't produce anything to prove it.

You have this very strange idea that a little turn of the wrist when holding a rifle will give that rifle super powers.

Wrong again. You cannot point out anything that I've ever been wrong about. And you also cannot provide any motivation for outlawing pistol grips besides the fact that progressives enjoy violating people's civil liberties.

Americans are free people. We do not have to provide a reason for exercising our rights.

Your recollection is correct in the first instance. It wasn’t, nor is it now, my intent to pursue your ridiculous straw man argument about these features turning “ a rifle into something more than a rifle.” Whatever that means. Your straw man argument is not mine.

Your recollection is also correct in the second instance.

You're not keeping up. You're not pursuing any strawman--ridiculous or otherwise--of mine. I'm pursuing a comment you made; something to the effect that a combination of such things as a pistol-grip and flash suppressor make a rifle especially dangerous. I'm asking you to explain your rationale for saying such a thing. Your response to being asked to explain your comment is to cry about some imagined strawman.

If you don't care to answer for things that you've said, then just say that, for whatever reason, you prefer to keep the answer to my questions to yourself. I'll respect your right to privacy.

Oh, I’m keeping up quite well with this straw man of yours, thank you very much. I’ve never said anything about “turning a rifle into something more than a rife.” Those are your words, not mine.

The features found on these weapons are those found on combat weapons, features implemented by the military not “because it gives the willies,” as you would have us believe, but because of their overall effectiveness.

@InfraBlue,

Come on. You're playing word games here. His phrase "something more than a rifle" and your phrase "especially dangerous" convey the same meaning.

Nope. I'm not wrong about anything. You cannot provide any motivation for outlawing pistol grips other than the fact that progressives enjoy violating people's civil liberties.

You also cannot provide any evidence that any of these features make a weapon especially dangerous.

No, you are not keeping up. You have declared that a pistol-grip and flash suppressor makes a rifle especially dangerous. Asking you to explain your rationale for making such a claim is not a strawman argument. You said it, and I'm asking you to back up that claim.

Yeah ya did. You said that a pistol-grip and a flash suppressor makes a rifle especially dangerous. That means you believe that a little shift of the wrist when holding a rifle does something. You're being asked to tell us what you think that something is. In other words, define the term "especially dangerous."

Same with the flash suppressor. You don't seem to understand that murders--even mass murders--committed with a rifle are done at close range. Hiding their location and intention is not anywhere on the shooter's list of priorities.
