This is a record of censorship of left viewpoints expressed as comments on HuffingtonPost.com as responses to articles and other readers views. I may not get my speech freely there, but you can see what they have deleted by coming over here how much censoring that Huffington Post does. Some articles may look liberal over there but the "moderators" are not moderates -- they are hard right radicals who censor out people who disagree with them, skewing the comments and falsifying the public dialog.
You wrote: The AR-15 is a slightly crippled version of
the M16 carried in war by Us infantry. A dongle turns it into an
automatic weapon which operates like the M15, so that they look alike
and act alike.
The Ar-15 as sold can shoot 100 bullets by somebody with quick trigger
finger in less than 100 seconds. That's close enough to assault weapon
as is needed to fit the description as assault weapon. The shooter at
the Aurora, Colorado movie theater had a 100 round magazine, so this is
not hypothetical. He shot and killed military active duty servicemen who
are trained in saving their own lives under fire, so this is not
hypothetical.
It is extremely insulting to pick nits over "assault weapon"
definitions. The Ar-15 is used to mass murder and ASSAULT AMERICANS in
very true and real circumstances. You don't own the definitions. WE use
the definitions that conveys the truth and you use words to deceive.
If you walk into Safeway, you can't go to the pharmacy counter and buy
morphine without any checks. Dangerous products have varying levels of
security and barriers of easy of possession.
The VIN number of every car in America is traced from factory to
scrapyard, so we could trace the serial numbers on guns through every
owner. It was VIN numbers that solved the first time the World Trade
Centers was attacked by terrorists. We use VIN numbers to solve crimes
AFTER THE FACT, not to prevent them.
I'll do better than that and link you to a YouTube video of
several such devices spewing fire at assault weapon rates of speed and
volume. Want to empty a 30-round clip in less than ten seconds? Watch
and drool...
