I didn't see this anywhere else, I'm sorry if it is a repost.

Rhonda Fields Aurora (D) wants to close the Craigslist Loophole, suggesting you can buy guns on that website. Further she wants to ban the sale of machine guns. 1) You can't post firearms on CL, and 2) private citizens can't buy machine guns.

Perhaps these people should get their facts before they open their mouths.

You can buy machine guns. It is just friggin expensive and the back ground will take at least 6 months to go through. An M-16 is at least 12 grand and probably closer to 20 grand now. But thye often mistake semi automatic rifles for machine guns.

It cracks me up how ignorant the gun grabbers are. I would love to learn more about this Craigslist community where you can buy machine guns haha

Libtards don't handle facts well, they just go off emotion and if you hold their feet to the fire with facts they will change the subject.

Sorry, I mispoke. My point was that it is not near as easy as buying a shotgun or some other common firearm.

LOL, I'm pretty well versed on firearms related issues. I think one of the issues is people tend to make up their own definitions for things and nobody knows what the hell politicians are actually talking about when they throw a term out. Thats why they literally put a definition of what they mean in a law or statute. By law we might actually have a 30 round clip someday ;)

Yes. I'm under the impression that they think you can walk into a Wal-Mart and get an Apache Helicopter during your Lunch break.

Many really believe all AR's are fully automatic or are converted to full automatic easily and in a few minutes.

They are easily converted in just a few minutes, just not legally.

And at today's prices, dumping 30 round mags at full auto might cost as much as an Apache helicopter.

If Apache helicopters were available at Wal-Mart, I would know about it.

During my quest for some .22lr, I have visited seemingly every Wal-Mart anywhere near my routes of travel...and that's at least 18-20 of them. Luckily, I found some...still on the hunt for that Apache, though

You have to ask for it. They keep all the good stuff behind the counter.

So, I tried to find where Rhonda Fields is actually quoted as saying this... mis-speaking about craigslist... I can't find a source.... The closest I've found was someone else saying something about her and the "so-callled craiglist loophole"....

I ask or looked this up as I live in Aurora and was going to send her a nasty-gram. But I didn't want to email her citing the above statement without a "public source" or something that is "quoted" by her... Can't find it....

It did get me to read about her. And that her son was murdered in '05... Of the people that are looking for stricter "gun controls". She isn't nearly as strict as the others... Her agenda appears to be background checks for all sales and bans on 50 and 100 round magazines....

Just saying....

Even with a registered drop-in auto sear, I believe you still need to swap out the hammer, disconnector, selector switch, and bolt carrier. An illegal auto sear would need to be fabricated, which would require tools, skills, and several hours of labor. Replacing the internals of the lower would require replacement parts and would take at least another hour. The AR-15 is one of the more difficult semis to convert, and easy to screw up.

Sure you can post guns on craigslist. People do that all the time. Of course, it is against the rules and those posts tend to get flagged rather quickly . . . as in within an hour. They are posted in Sporting Equipment. Sometimes, if the ad is worded right, the Libtards don't realize it is a gun and the ad stays up all week.

Definition; High Capacity Ammunition: Any ammunition fired from an "Assault rifle". Capable of hitting more than one target with each bullet.

I would think that you guys would know this.

I snicker when people start talking about some guns should be banned and bring up rocket launchers. Rocket launchers are always used as the "too far" example beyond machineguns that nobody should have. If I'm not mistaken, as an individual I could design a rocket launcher and explosive ammunition, pay my taxes (per round) and build one. All perfectly legal. I cannot do that with a machinegun.

Actually they are out in lawn and garden. You have to make sure you get all the boxes especially the one mark BO, that's the one with all the good shit.

Had Ms. Fields son received better protection from LE's and or been more careful he may have lived. His Killing was at the hands of [alleged] gang members who were acting on orders from an imprisoned gang member, he was testifying against. Those FACTS seem to be remiss. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

just a note, have heard from 2 places now that she is the one crafting the bills that will eventually show up in the house. It may be worth sending her a calm message in an attempt to influence what eventually reaches the floor.

Your definition of easily differs greatly from mine. If you have all the parts, it still isn't easy. Pretty easy to end up with a really complex and expensive mag fed, single shot rifle.

I really cannot stand to listen to OReilly spout off about "Heavy Weapon Assault Rifles", like he did last night. I have sent mails to him to help him out with the terminology, but you just can't fix OReilly stupid. I tried to point out that ARs and AKs aren't heavy weapons like Mk19s, Ma Deuce, or light mortars. In fact, semi-auto civilian ARs and AKs aren't assault rifles.[facepalm]

I can't stand to watch him either - most nights, he fits his own definition of "Pinhead".

When you start out with the mindset of "GFL" it makes it hard to have a modicum of tact and professionalism. Perhaps the starting point should be on the points that we can agree not on the points we disagree. I think we can all comfortably say that the shootings are tragic, and gun owners care for children just as much as non-gun owners. The difference is that both camps see different ways of resolving the issue. Further, the fact that you don't wish in have a dialog with someone that is of a different race out of fear that you will be seen as a racist, is racist. Crime is equal opportunity. Yes behaviors and locals many invite more crime. I know Homosexuals, and African-Americans that are supporters of the 2A.

not expecting anything beyond a form letter politely saying to go F myself. Letters are cheap and email is free. I've contacted my Rep, he stated his views and pointed me to her.

Perhaps part of the problem with the state of the nation is our own fault. 1) We don't have a civil dialog out of fear how we will be viewed, and/or labeled. And 2) Some people get so fired up about their position that they end up looking stupid and "scary" because they are unable to calm themselves down to be able to have an articulate discuss. . . and use logic.

I thought I was the only one that has a bunker full of laser-guided, heat-seeking, incindiary/explosive-tipped, multi-warhead 5.56x45 ammo capable of destroying multiple targets with one trigger pull.

I bought a gun from a guy on Craig's list. It was years ago and it got flagged right after I contacted the guy
