Assault rifles come roaring back in Asheville

How do I know this? Walmart is selling them.

You know if the nation’s largest retailer stocks three different models now, they must be a hot item.

It’s safe to say that assault rifles — semi-automatic military-style rifles with magazine clips that typically hold 30 rounds — have come full circle in America.

After several high-profile shooting incidents in the 1980s and ’90s, the guns became the notorious poster child for wanton violence and Second Amendment over-reaching. Congress enacted and former President Bill Clinton signed the Assault Weapons Ban back in 1994, which made it illegal to sell 19 types of semi-automatic rifles, as well as ammunition clips that held more than 10 rounds.

The legislation expired in 2004, and since then, assault rifles have come storming back.

Assault Rifle: A shoulder fired, box magazine fed, air cooled rifle of intermediate caliber that fires either fully automatic, or semi automatic or what is commonly referred to as Select Fire.
I highly doubt anyone is selling Assault Rifles. What is more thanb likely being sold IS sporting rifles that have a few cosmetic commonalities with their military cousins.

A bayonet lug, box magazine, flash suppressor, and pistol grip do not an Assault Rifle make. To be called an Assault Rifle, the rifle in question MUST be selective fire.
Schools Out!

And I'll add to that: A .308 cal is a battle rifle, as it isn't an "intermediate caliber".

I told a cop in California that but he didn't see the humor in it.

Re: Assault rifles come roaring back in Asheville

If you have any disposable income buy up some of them Black Guns now. I worked the market on 2 diferent elections and made GOOD money on them. Anything that had Colt on it after 1992 I made a killing on. Any type of AR15 I could find did REAL well after 2008. Been movin alot of my lesser toys getting ready for 2012.
Good luck and good tradin!

Re: Assault rifles come roaring back in Asheville

seriously the citizen times...wow... you gotta know the area. You have to know the mindset of Asheville. You would think being so close to the hills and the hatfield's and maccoys that they would be gun friendly there. Also seeing as Madison co. is a marijuana growing haven that firearms would be handed out.. you know "just in case"

The liberal's are thick in that area...

Glad I was there for only a short time period. You know you are in trouble when they call Asheville the "Paris of the South"

what a freakin joke!

Re: Assault rifles come roaring back in Asheville

Since when is that the definition of an assault rifle?

 

[Kinsman]

Re: Assault rifles come roaring back in Asheville


That has been the U.S. Military definition for many years, but I can't give you an exact year.
Assault Weapon is a more recent political version that include ugly semi auto weapons.

Hey Hey fellas, easy with that shit! I will have you know most of our libtards are NOT homegrown. We have a shitload of damn yankees and halfbacks(aahm from Flahridah...yeah right),and a shitload of left coasters thrown in for good measure, that have settled here and more comming every day. They have completely fucked up their state and want to move here because they have made their bed and can't stand to lie in it, now they try and make their bed the same way here. North Carolina is one of the most popular states to move to right now and I wish it wasn't.

I won't argue that Asheville is a modern day Sodom and Gamorah, it is a shithole but it is not the fault of the natives. John Boyle is a certified douche and this would appear to be one of his first serious articles, although we know the content is hype and bullshit. He usually does some lame assed Q&A column.
