Last of the mohicans is probably one of the top 20 films of all time...and top 5 soundtracks. Very underrated movie.

I still side with twain on the book - it was pap.

Smirk.

Twain disagrees...

Every critic in america disagrees, I would wager.

Post the citation to post ratio so we have reason to believe you, apath.

Look at this...Veghead demanding a reposting of something. God man. You never learn. If something was already posted, then **** you. Nobody has to repost anything because you are a stupid asshole. Moron.

No...that's a "feature", its function remains what the weapon was designed for..

No, Here's a Word...."Distance" is one of the specifications which define its function.

Now, having entertained this diversion.

Do you understand the difference between "patent" and "trademark"?

Yes.  Now we are done with that.

Sorry, you are incorrect.  The AR 15 Sporter, (not the Armalite AR 15 which became the M16) was specifically designed for civilians.  As the abundance of parts that were redesigned to make it legal show.   So it DID NOT FUNCTION like a military weapon.

The only diversion is your question from telling why these weapons, particularly the modern day semi auto sports rifle designed for civilians, should be banned.  

And I wish you luck with banning any weapons in light of the huge increase in gun buyers the year, particularly first time buyers. There is a thread on that.

Knives are used for many things, as tools they can

1. Spread butter
2. Cut rope, cut meat, cut drywall and filet fish
3. Spread mayonnaise on bread
4. Cut fabrics for sewing, arts and crafts, etc.
5. Scrape dirt from under my fingernails
6. Make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
7. Sharpen a pencil

Guns, OTOH have but one use

1. Shoot and kill

MAYBE, that massive disparity in usefulness accounts for why gun control is more popular than knife control, to some degree.


 

You know, SOME of us are having fun, here. You gotta brea up the party?

Couldn't tell you....I'm a Bierce man, myself..

But that is one brutal piece of writing.
 

@Blackvegetable  if these weapons are designed for battlefield use why are they not used on the battlefield? When I was in I never saw a semi auto sports rifle in the Arms Room.
Hell, when I went to armorers school we didn't learn a thing about them. Never talked about them.

That is a valid question.  Why are they not military issue to infantry units?  Your claim is they are designed for the battlefield.  So one would think they would be used on the battlefield.  But they are not.  Why?  Because they were not designed for the battlefield.

No, we are not done with that.  Why you scared?  Afraid to answer?  My Henry 45 rifle was specifically designed as a battlefield weapon.  I have a replica that functions exactly the same as it did when originally designed. The reason it is legal is for the same reason Civilian AR 15s are legal.  It does have an automatic function.

ArmaLite first developed the AR-15 in the late 1950s as a military rifle,

https://www.npr.org/2018/02/28/58886182 ... -the-ar-15

Already covered.  The Armalite AR 15 was rebranded the M 16.  The AR 15 SPORTER was specifically designed for civilian use. In 1959, ArmaLite sold its rights to the AR-15 to Colt due to financial difficulties and limitations in terms of manpower and production capacity.[6] After modifications (most notably, the charging handle was re-located from under the carrying handle like AR-10 to the rear of the receiver),[7] Colt rebranded it the Colt 601, however it still carried the Armalite markings due to contractual obligations to Armalite/Fairchild Aircraft Co. Colt marketed the redesigned rifle to various military services around the world and it was subsequently adopted by the U.S. military as the M16 rifle, which went into production in March 1964.[5][8]Colt continued to use the AR-15 trademark for its line of semi-automatic-only rifles marketed to civilian and law-enforcement customers, known as Colt AR-15.

So why is the AR 15 style weapons not used by the military if it was designed for battlefield use?  Could it be found in the last sentence?  Because it is semi auto only?  That is what distinguished civilian AR 15s from weapons designed for the battlefield.

What else you got?  You keep setting 'em up and I will keep knocking them down.

Explain what any of that has to do with what it was DESIGNED for..
