Its a freaking expression! Not an exclusive classification! There are specific semi-auto Ak's that are legal, but the full-auto versions have largely been banned. Should have clarified since you are picking at the tiniest details.


I pick at the tiniest details on guns because the tiniest details are often the difference between legal and 15 years in federal prison.

This rifle is legal in New York:



This rifle is not:



Why? Where are the "common sense" laws anti-gunners love to tout?

Not true. Missouri doesn't allow self loading weapons with a capacity of more than 11 rounds.

But Missouri also doesn't allow buckshot.


Without referencing anything, I can fairly certainly say that I am correct in this case about ak47's being illegal for game hunting.

He just told you otherwise. An AK47 with a 10 round magazine would be perfect legal.

ETA: And background checks are already required to purchase a firearm. What else would you propose to further regulate gun owernship?

And you would be wrong.

An AK47 with a 10 round magazine or less is perfectly legal in Missouri.

Here's the link

Prohibited Methods
Self-loading firearms with capacity of more than 11 cartridges in magazine and chamber combined
Ammunition propelling more than one projectile at a single discharge (such as buckshot)
Full hard metal case projectiles
Fully automatic firearms
Any sighting device that casts a beam of light on the game
Electronic calls or electronically activated calls
Night vision equipment
Use of bait
Use of dogs
Additional methods may be prohibited by local ordinances.

No open container laws, no silly liquor store to buy liquor, can purchase booze any time, anywhere. Not sure on tax, but definitely less laws.

Open container is gay you got us there.. The Liquor store isn't as locally regulated as some states, so that's no real problem to me.

Liquor is obscenely cheap here though. It's cheap enough to bootleg for profit into Alabama. No shite..

Legally this would be easy to debunk. But good on you for making the effort.

Eh, backround checks aren't that strenuous currently. Mental health evaluations are one of the biggest things for me. From there, working on amending current laws to be enforce more effectively.

What in the hell does that mean? You still haven't provided any more common sense gun control ideas besides backgorund checks?

It means any prosecutor with a brain can make it seem like you used an illegal form of ammunition. Throw in conservation people who would absolutely crush you as "expert witnesses."

I propose things that might actually be plausible. Why propose things that would be shot down? (Just realized how punny this was)

Has nothing to do with the firearm, which is what we are discussing but I'll forget it.

If you have any good ideas, I would be the first one to listen. I may comment and you may not agree with my comments but at least you would be saying something instead of dodging the question.

Alabama is retarded when it comes to alcohol. I'll never forget paying nearly $30 for a pint of Woodford...

This will rustle some people...but Mental health evaluations that are thorough. Talking written, verbal, psychological tests. If a psychologist deems you unfit, you are not permitted to own any guns. Can appeal, but if 2nd comes to same conclusion, you are sore out of luck. Repeat every 4-5 years.

Amped up penalties for illegal possession.

Ban on military style weapons.

Just a few things there.

At least you brought something to the table to discuss.

If you don't have to take a mental health evaluation to drive a car, purchase alcohol or fly on a plane, then you should not have to in order to purchase something that you are allowed to constitutionally.

The laws for illegal possession are already pretty strict especially if you are a convicted felon or have a gun on you while committing a crime.

What by your definition are "military style" weapons? Your AK47 reference earlier was pretty laughable. Please explain yourself more thoroughly if you want anyone to take you seriously with that. Not trying to rude either.

I'm not sure I trust anyone that advocates mental health screening to exercise any constitutionally protected right.

Far too vague.
