Ask Richard Burton.

Joint Statement by NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and Chief Lobbyist Chris Cox On Passage of the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act"

Friday, July 29, 2005

Today, in an historic vote in Second Amendment history, freedom prevailed.

When it comes to something as fundamental as the Second Amendment, the American people are determined to protect this freedom. That?s what happened in the United States Senate today.

The final outcome of the U.S. Senate vote on S. 397 -- the ?Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act? -- is a groundbreaking step forward for law-abiding firearm manufacturers, retailers and owners in this country. The National Rifle Association (NRA) invested many years trying to pass this needed legislation that will put an end to politically motivated predatory lawsuits.

simply put, because i can. i collect guns and use target shooting as a hobby away from computers. i go to work and deal with computers. on the weekends, i shoot guns at old computers and computer parts.

if you've never fired a gun, dont knock it because you dont like the idea that they're dangerous. knowning how to handle guns properly helps to prevent accidents and shooting guns are actually pretty fun. the reason i choose assault rifles to shoot is that they are made to be reliable. i can go months without cleaning my ak and it will fire everytime.

the reason we can buy them in america is that it's our right to bare arms and protect ourselves. the country was founded with that in mind. if the government makes guns illegal, then only the criminals will have guns.

Funny story bout that right to have a gun... Only if you're in the militia do you have a constitutional right to own a gun. Anyone else with one is just working on the good will of the gov't. Aside from that, and back on topic, I'd personally pick the M4, or any armalite-style series for that matter. Never having fired either in real life, I personally like the smaller size and design of the M4. But then again, something about wood trim on a firearm kicks ass.

The current United States Code, Title 10 (Armed forces), section 311 (Militia: Composition and Classes), paragraph (a) states "The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard." Section 313 of Title 32 refers to persons with prior military experience who could serve as officers. These persons remain members of the militia until age 65. Paragraph (b) further states," The classes of the militia are--(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Morality aside...

I really hate the use of M4s in games and such, because they are thought to be some super firearm.

The M4 is for mobility, to be lightweight, and to replace pistols. It has the 5.56mm NATO round. Not the greatest, but effective. If I were to use this, it would be if I was some 'special forces' guy who would have it 'modded out,' (as some of you put it) AKA scope, silencer, etc. If you want to use an Armalite series weapon, skip the carbine crap and use a full size rifle, M-16 or AR-15.

However, in regular combat, the AK-47 would be much better. 7.62mm Soviet rounds aren't exactly the greatest, but they do quite well. The AK can field strip much better, and is much more rugged. (Cheaper, too)

That's just my opinion.

My dad has both and he's used both (in Vietnam). He likes the M4 SOPMOD better, but then again.. he was Force Recon and didn't get the same old crappy rifles as GI (general infantry). One of his buddies has a Barret M82A1 and I bet that that is the best rifle.

And yes it isn't an assault rifle... I know. You can't beat point five o.

Well it depends on the environment. I know you said Afghanistan, but the open country side or a small town or village.

The M4 has better accuracy and distance but the AK47 has more penetration and knock down power. You can ask anyone that fought in Fallujah (Nov. 04) to testify.

Although I do have more gaming knowledge then real factual knowledge of games. I know games are mad in interpretations of guns so I watch like crap loads of documentarys about guns. A couple on just AK-47 vs M4A1

Ak-47 is more powerful and doesnt jam as much I'd go with the M4A1 as it is much more accurate and has teh silencer option and can be scoped with a grenade launcher. :D

From a gaming point of view I would like a SteyerAug as its what the Australian Military use.

    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.

    • My current phone, on left, is starting to go to sleep, and not turning on, even though I press the power button 100 times. Like CPR.   I tried factory resetting it, and nothing changed. So it's the hardware failing. I currently am using Twigby as my service provider. Cheapest I can get around here. But all their phones are carp.. https://www.twigby.com/shop/twigby-phones A friend warned me about the Moto G, as his neice has one, and isn't that good at $130. Also the Samsung A15 is laughable at best. Everything else is expensive af. I want android, (hate iOS) any version, that works with Twigby, under $100, please. Refurbished/Used is OK with me, as long as it isn't beat up.   If you know the IMEI number, you can see if it works with Twigby: https://www.twigby.com/page/byod
