What’s the difference between an “assault” semi auto centre fire and a hunting semi auto centre fire rifle ?
Apart from the colour.

About $150?

Since the mass shooting in Highland Spring 11 days ago where 8 people died and 29 injured...there have been 26 mass shootings.

For those of you who may have missed it...

Marketing?
(Which is worrying on many levels)

The whole standing up to the government as "part of a well armed militia" is a complete red herring as well. These people obviously haven't heard of tanks, planes and missiles. How long do they think they'd last standing there with their AR15 if the government sent a hellfire missile down their chimney?

Pardon me, but ?????.
Just have this vision of blokes in Davy Crocket hats, and straw in their ears, then...........whoosh down the chimney!

Is there any way to reset a country to factory settings? They are absolutely beyond repair.

That's their problem, they all think they're cowboys, out defending themselves in the wild west. They don't trust their own laws to protect them.

If there were no restrictions on gun ownership in the UK, how many would own them?

It would be just as bad....or worse.

That’s their main defence.
Everyone else has them so I need one to protect myself.!
There would be some who wouldn’t but most would imo.

It would be the Wild West! That’s why you need legislation, to save the people from the people.

That's the problem, they are still at factory settings. They are immune to any upgrades or bug fixes. Their really old and outdated constitution is holy to them.

Totally disagree. Different culture entirely. I have no doubt you would get hotspots in certain cities in particular but on the whole, no.

Exactly, ownership of weapons in the UK countries died out of its own accord without any need for legislation

Having fired every type of small arms available during my time in the RN I just don’t see the attraction, and if we could own one I wouldn’t. As a kid I lived in the middle of nowhere and had a .22 air rifle. Shooting at targets becomes boring after a while.

I agree.
I can't remember the last time I got the urge to shoot someone.
