They should at lest know a minimum about the subject they are talking about.

Oh and by the way the answers to your question are A: 1 : 9, B: 6.5lbs

What difference does it make? The issue is not terminology. The issue is BlueStreak Jan 2013 #1
What? Changing the subject?? virginia mountainman Jan 2013 #2
How much? Must they know the optimal barrel-twist for .308 150 grain ammo at 225 yards? Scuba Jan 2013 #5
Yes they must... iiibbb Jan 2013 #12
"They" are writing no such law BlueStreak Jan 2013 #22
Your point would be relevant if AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #59
No but.... Ehanson005 Jan 2013 #71
Clueless? The text was correct. It was just pointing to the wrong part of the image. BlueStreak Jan 2013 #7
The text is not correct. iiibbb Jan 2013 #10
So what? BlueStreak Jan 2013 #15
Did the children at Sandy hook die from a grenade or bayonet? iiibbb Jan 2013 #18
Those bayonets are responsible for tons of drive-by stabbings Pullo Jan 2013 #32
How many killed by grenade launchers? AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #60
I can get a hell of a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking my head up a bull's ass, Ed Suspicious Jan 2013 #16
What person has been murdered with a bayonet? iiibbb Jan 2013 #20
Exactly. Grenades are illegal, and we almost never see them used for murder. BlueStreak Jan 2013 #23
And bayonets are legal and we've never seen them used for murder iiibbb Jan 2013 #24
I am not aware of any movement to ban bayonets BlueStreak Jan 2013 #27
So why the focus on a bayonet lug... and on top of that misinforming people about it. iiibbb Jan 2013 #34
Who cares? You are the one obsessed about it. Nobody else. BlueStreak Jan 2013 #41
Nobody else? iiibbb Jan 2013 #45
Why did the reporter bring it up then? AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #61
Nobody cares, but you will if a law is passed that isn't specific in terms and terminology. shadowrider Jan 2013 #69
Umm ... Straw Man Jan 2013 #72
Again.. the bayonet lug is not a grenade mounting point. iiibbb Jan 2013 #25
"Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?" Ashgrey77 Jan 2013 #64
Gun control advocates always complain about the ambiguity of the 2nd amendment iiibbb Jan 2013 #8
Here is the precise terminology that matters BlueStreak Jan 2013 #48
At least the words "Ban all Firearms" is an idea that is clear and not irrelevant as "bayonet lugs" iiibbb Jan 2013 #49
FAIL discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2013 #11
Law is technical details. GreenStormCloud Jan 2013 #13
Will one of the features I.D.-ing "assault weapons" be a particular color? Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #3
The paper should JohnnyBoots Jan 2013 #4
I have a small supply of duct tape on hand for when its on TV.. virginia mountainman Jan 2013 #6
If only that were possible, Rupert Murdoch would be broke and in prison. Scuba Jan 2013 #9
"Sued for liable [sic]"? On what basis? BlueStreak Jan 2013 #14
Guns don't sue people. Orrex Jan 2013 #19
guns are like a fetus to some people now.. frylock Jan 2013 #44
Yes, I demand they be sued for liable! Tommy_Carcetti Jan 2013 #21
the paper should be sued for libel?! frylock Jan 2013 #36
yeah but it would be a cool gejohnston Jan 2013 #52
So what you're saying is, that's actually the shoulder thing? I'm confused: I thought petronius Jan 2013 #17
part of the problem is that gun lovers think it makes a difference to the cause of samsingh Jan 2013 #26
this is why the gun fetishists have ZERO credibility when it comes to guns..... bowens43 Jan 2013 #28
+1 villager Jan 2013 #30
It matters because it creates confusion and impedes the efforts of sensible gun control. iiibbb Jan 2013 #38
So all you have to know is that guns are the problem? Ashgrey77 Jan 2013 #65
Wait, so all those slain kids at Sandy Hook are actually alive now!? villager Jan 2013 #29
Would have been if only the gun didn't have a bayonet lug... iiibbb Jan 2013 #35
And thus the extent of your empathy toward the young victims is now fully known. villager Jan 2013 #37
As if your post demonstrates any empathy toward those children... iiibbb Jan 2013 #39
More gun nut fail: I'm trying to prevent the next batch of victims. You prefer easily available villager Jan 2013 #40
You don't know what I prefer except that people use correct words in order to craft laws. iiibbb Jan 2013 #43
Quit pretending you support any kind of law that would reduce the availability of military-grade villager Jan 2013 #47
Quit pretending you know anything about me. iiibbb Jan 2013 #50
Aside from your public snark and stalking at websites like this? You mean, you're doing it villager Jan 2013 #51
you've posted as much or more snark iiibbb Jan 2013 #55
In reply to your attacks and general disregard of dead children, you mean? villager Jan 2013 #56
Take your claim of my disregard for dead children iiibbb Jan 2013 #58
Are there others who respond with as little regard for the victims of mass shootings as you? villager Jan 2013 #73
My main concern is that any law that is written in a way that actually solves problems iiibbb Jan 2013 #74
So... do these democrats not count as democrats? iiibbb Jan 2013 #75
I would say when push comes to shove, they always care about their political sponsors first villager Jan 2013 #76
So your answer is "no", and that they also prefer guns to dead children iiibbb Jan 2013 #77
One rarely finds this level of moral posturing outside of antiabortion protests. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2013 #78
an AR15 or "assault weapon" is not a military-grade weapon. armueller2001 Jan 2013 #63
No matter that "military style weapons" kill less that 100 people a year in the USA. Ashgrey77 Jan 2013 #66
By supporting laws which do not and will not prevent mass shootings. N/T beevul Jan 2013 #70
Specificity and accuracy are important The Blue Flower Jan 2013 #31
That is easy. Ashgrey77 Jan 2013 #67
to be fair, it wouldn't hurt the cause if the media would do just a little bit of research.. frylock Jan 2013 #33
Look, I like guns iiibbb Jan 2013 #42
i agree. talking about bayonet lugs does absolutely nothing to advance.. frylock Jan 2013 #46
Come on - you know why they go after 'features', because it is a way of distinguishing jmg257 Jan 2013 #53
Most civilian AR's don't have lugs at all iiibbb Jan 2013 #54
Ok - appears they are doing away with that as a (dis)qualify feature, jmg257 Jan 2013 #57
There is a real reason why there are less bayonet lugs on AR15's. Ashgrey77 Jan 2013 #68
If gun control was about saving lives, Glaug-Eldare Jan 2013 #62
