So far, Mary, no one who has actually served remembers the Colt Sporter, a weapon YOU claim was designed for combat, being issues as a personal weapon, or even in the arms room.Blackvegetable » 05 Jun 2025, 11:51 am » wrote: ↑ Who is telling you this?

And M 16 did not use clips so I spent no time toting them. Try again. I will add this to your greatest military hits like CV gas, the PK, and C5.Blackvegetable » Yesterday, 8:55 am » wrote: ↑why don't you give me a rough idea of what percentage of your sacrifice was spent toting an M16 and a couple of full clips...*Huey » Yesterday, 8:50 am » wrote: ↑ ****, even those in Transportation would need a personal weapon.
Your **** attempts at insults continue to prove you are ignorant of the military,
Mr. Kelly. You are wrong. Your examples also do not prove, but actually disprove your point. Here's why:Mrkelly » 05 Jun 2025, 7:38 pm » wrote: ↑ This **** again Goober![]()

Plenty more if you need them
Thanks for that. I told him that the magazines were about full autos because I have seen those publications used before.Skans » Yesterday, 9:10 am » wrote: ↑ Mr. Kelly. You are wrong.

- I looked at both publications you linked to. I had to blow them up to actually see everything on the cover. One was published in 1986, the other in 1985. They were published BEFORE the Hughes Amendment. The Hughes Amendment banned civilian ownership of all full-auto weapons produced after May 19, 1986. So, when these books/magazines were published, new full-auto rifles and sub-machine guns were available for people to purchase through a Class III dealer.
- If you look on one of the publications, it clearly mentions "full-auto". Also, it was one of the few publications with articles about silencers. Around that time, silencers were also legal to own, but they were not nearly as common as they are today. Silencers were NFA items and also had to transfer through Class III dealers. So, clearly this publication was intended for people who were interested in FULL-AUTO Machine guns, i.e. Assault Rifles.
- Also, notice they use the term "Assault Rifle" not "Assault Weapon", as you claimed. Assault Rifle is synonymous with select-fire (switchable semi-auto and full-auto) weapons. Assault Weapon was a term invented by the Gun-Ban activists. Assault Rifle derives from the German term "Sturmgewehr", or more particularly the Sturmgewher44, the very first select-fire small arm ever invented and first used in WWII. Sturmgewher translates to "Storm Rifle". The best English translation is Assault Rifle.
Kelly has no clue of the historical context of those particular magazines. They really were about full-auto guns and silencers - geared toward those who were into buying NFA items.*Huey » Yesterday, 9:14 am » wrote: ↑ Thanks for that.

You're right about that. Just to let you know, Mean Arms out of Woodstock GA actually makes an AR-15 that uses clips. The one in the video has a removable magazine that takes a clip, but the ones they make for California which do not have removable magazines can be fed from an ammo-clip.*Huey » Yesterday, 8:57 am » wrote: ↑ M 16s don't have clips.

Yeah, I know, but what the heck, If I lived in California, I'd be ordering up one of these and a bunch of clips lickety split!*Huey » Yesterday, 9:32 am » wrote: ↑ That's cool. They will want to ban that next because it loads to fast.

Let's start from the beginning of what you said, Mr. Kelly, since you are now intentionally being dishonest. This discussion stemmed from you saying:Mrkelly » Yesterday, 9:34 am » wrote: ↑This disproves my point that they were marketed as “assault rifles” ?

Gomer, you are a **** more.
Thumbhole stocks, grinded off bayonet lugs, US manufactured receivers and foreign imported parts kits, binary triggers, FRT systems, pistol braces, clips, I don't know if I could even begin to name them all.*Huey » Yesterday, 9:34 am » wrote: ↑ I was telling one of our local gunophobes that when a ban is proposed or has been implemented the smart manufactures come up with way to make a ban compliant firearm. It seems that is how you defeat the removable magazine requirement.

"Not a veteran of the Vietnam era (proudly)
but
The term Assault weapons was not a “made up term by the gunphobes”
It was how the AR was marketed by the gun manufacturers
It was a **** up on their part
The gun grabbers took the label and ran with it"
Now, you claim you were saying "this disproves my point they were being marketed as "assault rifles"? I particularly love the quotes "assault rifles", as though you are quoting what you previously said. But, I just posted what you previously said which was not "assault rifles" but "Assault weapons".
Mr. Kelly, you just got jammed!
