  1. That's a common misconception. Assault rifle refers to a firearm that (among other things) has selective fire ie user control over rate of fire for semi automatic, burst, or full automatic. They're illegal to purchase and pretty much illegal to own...those guns are strictly military weaponry, and although they may have civilian variants that do not have selective fire those are what people are referring to when they talk about 'assault weapons' primarily: semi automatic military-styled firearms, usually rifles, without selective fire.
  2. That mini Ruger mentioned is just a semi auto scout platform. im just assuming actual assault rifles are illegal for the public to own in Canada, they are in the US...?
  3. accidental double forum post of the year candidate right here only may tho
  4. Although the article is unclear in its wording, some of the guns described would be classified as assault weapons and not assault rifles which are not synonymous and shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
  5. Yes or the American 308 equivalent you communist!
  6. Imo if you shoot hogs w a .223 or 5.56 or .300 blackout you’re an #######
  7. I was responding to whoever suggested banning semi automatics would result in revolvers being banned as well. 'Assault weapon' doesn't have any concrete definition. Semi-automatic and revolver however do.
  8. It's a question that illustrates how little people know about firearm terminology and technology, actually. A semi-automatic is a firearm that cycles the action via energy from spent cartridge to engage the next. Revolvers aren't semi automatics in that a single action operates by the trigger pull simply dropping the hammer, and a double action revolver also indexes the chamber.
  9. Yes absolutely I subscribe to a Billiocentric view of the NFL
  10. Thank you for proper citation ps I am currently bringing legal action against @Cripple Creek need an attorney ASAP plz kthx
  11. Re: your last sentence- is there any worry that this type of investing mindset simply compresses the natural boom/bust cycle and that such a yo-yo economy can only really inure to the benefit of the finance industry?
  12. id buy this guy a beer
  13. Then I guess I would say that I think 'the economy' is too broad a subject to be represented fairly by either securities exchange ratios or total good and services/year.
  14. I don't think you can discuss the economy without touching on labor statistics.
  15. Read again- low unemployment PLUS flat nominal wages are bad. 3.5% unemployment would usually trigger raising the interest rate to compensate for wage inflation: the Fed hasn't come close to matching. It's simply more cheap fuel for an already inefficient economy as shown by the crash. Healthy economies don't lose 33% of their value in four days.
  16. Low unemployment plus flat nominal wage growth is not good for the middle class no matter what corporate America says.
  17. It shouldn’t be.
  18. Sure I could. I could also see special teams and defense chipping in. My point was how outside Allen there was very little scoring production, very different from Green Bay.
