Jon Stewart's plea for gun control

DJ1BigTymer said

I'm not one to blame everything on assault rifles, but those that vigorously defend ownership of these weapons either choose to ignore or just aren't aware of the shear velocity of the projectiles fired from them. A typical handgun fires a round between 700 to 1000 fps. Rifles, on the other hand, typically fires a round between 2000-4000 fps. I don't think anyone of us wants to be in an active shooter situation, but I like my chances better if that person had a handgun instead of an assault rifle.

This is the problem that everyone seems to be missing. Everyone is hung up on the name "assault rifle", when fact is, a rifle is a rifle. The difference between an "assualt rifle" and a hunting rifle is mostly just attachments. Flashlight, holo graphic site.... these are things that cannot be put on a wooden shouldered harnessed rifle. Let me tell you what can be....

A scope, and a very large magazine clip for the non bolt action rifle.

Difference is, is made up of mostly plastic to allow attachments while the other is not.

That is why a lot of people who use guns and are familair with em look at the anti gun people like loonies. They speak as if they know something. Most of em don't.

The reason the "assault rifle" has its name is because it can be customized with attachments to aid in attacking such as a grip for increased accuracy, holographic sites for increased aim without losing site of perifial vision, laser pointers that are absolutly worthless and are for looks. Nothing more. And flashlights for better vision.

Thats it. Bottom line.
