Oh, it's fine, I'm sure that the comment was not made as even a semi-serious threat. I'm just saying that the subject, at least for me, is so touchy that I wouldn't go near making a joke like that. It's like joking that you'd dilute someone's mother's cancer medication. Just in such bad taste that I don't find it funny in any venue. I may be more sensitive than others, but can't apologize for that. Murder's murder. Blue skies, -Jeffrey --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

kelpdiver 2 #28 September 15, 2004 I would recommend making such a joke for people you only know virtually. But they know each other physically, and from how I understand it, are at a DZ that likes such horseplay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #29 September 15, 2004 QuoteYou can still get rifles, just not AR-15s, or anything that looks like it came off a movie set. Huh? You could still buy AR-15's during the ban. You can buy AR-15's now after the ban. The only difference was that during the ban, the flash suppressor was removed from newly manufactured AR-15's, which made them legal under the so-called "assault weapon" ban. You could also buy AR-15's manufactured prior to the ban, as they were grandfathered-in as legal. AR-15's are the most popular rifle in the high-power rifle competition, shooting from 200, 300 and 600 yards. All those sound-bytes about how "you don't need an AR-15 to hunt" are bullshit. Hunting is not the only purpose for these rifles - target shooting is the most common usage. You better go get one now, before some future democratic administration turns around and bans them again, or gun-haters at your state government do likewise.

askir 0 #31 September 16, 2004 aahh yes the ban was so good to us, specially the batonet part...everyone knows that a bayonet makes the weapon deadlier after you run out of multiple 30 round mags. anyone know of a crime commited with a bayonet attached to a rifle? LIFE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE, YOU CAN SIT THERE AND WATCH IT BURN AWAY OR YOU CAN SMOKE THAT BITCH TO THE FILTER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day we'll hear of someone getting run-through with just the barrel of a post-'94-ban AR-15, just to prove that keeping the bayonet off the gun did no good.
