[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3041773, member: 5412"] The first "assault weapon" was built in 1364 by the Chinese to be used by their Army as an "assault weapon" against other troops that relied on hand held edged or thrown, bow weapons. By the 1380's there were handguns across europe. Every weapon known in existence today with the exception of some goofy exhibition items was at one time an "assault weapon" built to create an advantage during war. During the War of 1812, Rifling was introduced to the military weapons that made them much more accurate than the British smooth bores they opposed. The Britts called that an unfair advantage because the military at that time lined up across from each other and launched smooth bore projectiles at each other that flew like feathers in the wind at distances. War criminals we were! Nothing has changed. The blow back designs from old were military designs, and JM Browning certainly submitted the designs that changed the world of firearms. The AR-15 design and the way it operates is no different than the Remington 742 hunting rifle that has been around for more than a half century, or other shotgun/rifle designs that aren't "ugly". Because the AR looks scary, does not make it any more dangerous than any gun in existence. You can regulate it to the point that only 5 round mags are acceptable, and you will find tens of thousands of trained shooters that can drop a mag, and reload a fresh in less than a second. Same with pistols. I shoot competitions, and run the timer a lot of the time. I know what it takes to change a mag on a rifle or a pistol quickly and it's less than a second. Anybody can train to do the same. [/QUOTE]
