Denver I-70 Park-n-Ride shooting

[DonTom]

Never been so insecure I felt I needed a semi automatic military style assault weapon.

Same here, I never felt that I needed one since I was in the infantry in Vietnam (1969-70).

But I now own several of them. All types, AR15's, AK47's but my favorites are the 5.7 by 28mm such as my PS-90, CMMG MK57, AR57 and several others. I believe I have one in everything ever made in 5.7 x 28 mm. Includes many pistols as well as rifles.

Likewise, I never felt I needed more than one motorcycle. The one I have with me now is more of a necessity on these RV trips. But I own 11 motorcycles, ten are not needed, but I own them anyway.

Both are hobbies, no more than that. I have built many AR-15's starting with a blank lower receiver. I start by installing the trigger assembly. In one, I put in a binary trigger and it can quickly switch from a 5.7 x 28 MM (expensive ammo) to 22LR (cheap ammo).

The lower receiver is the gun by law, requires the background check and a FFL. It has the S/N. All the rest of the stuff are just parts than can be legally shipped direct to my house.

I am afraid to leave my RV, the gun nuts are shooting everywhere.

Can you please define a "gun nut". I for one think the problem is that nuts have guns.

 

[DonTom]

Gun nuts.

I wonder if I qualify as a "gun nut" to some people.

But perhaps you should worry about knife nuts more than so called assault weapon nuts.

The only similarity of a Jeep Wrangler to the M151A2 Jeep I drove in the Army is how Jeep is spelled.

I think they might ride about the same.

People with guns.

In case the lower receiver confuses people shown in my message 41, the stuff on it where it says "M16" "Property of US Government" and all that is pure BS. Such BS can be legally written on a lower receiver and not be true, but the font MUST be different than the actual part number to be legal. It will NOT select to "burst" or "auto". Simply just engraved on false info. The real part number of the lower receiver is a different font and is engraved in deeper.

I own such a fake M-16. It's a semi-only AR15, but it has all the M-16 details., including where it falsely says "auto". Even engraved for where the small pin would be if it were a full auto.

Most people do not notice the difference in font for where the actual lower receiver model number is located. Most people think it's an M-16 but it is not. Even fools most other "gun nuts".

People with guns.

So all people with guns are nuts?

 

[Babe2201]

So I should buy a machine gun and then i will nothing to be afraid of?

It will be very difficult for you to buy a machine gun. You could purchase a semi auto rifle very easily and they are actually a lot of fun to shoot.

 

[SeilerBird]

So all people with guns are nuts?

Every last one of them.

 

[LarsMac]

So all people with guns are nuts?

not all. some folks are quite sane, but still own guns.

 

[DonTom]

People with guns.

I would rather be around sane people with guns than insane people even if without guns.

[DonTom]

Every last one of them.

I had no idea you consider me to be a nut.

I am more of a fruit than a nut.

It will be very difficult for you to buy a machine gun.

Not that difficult in most cases, just takes a lot of time and a little paperwork. Same procedure as to own a SBR or a suppressor. Wait can be almost a year for it to be completed and that MUST be done first before buying.

The big problem with machine guns is any decent one will cost at least 20K$.

I had no idea you consider me to be a nut.

I doubt that there is one gun owner who does not think I am a nut since I refuse to be armed.

I don't think being armed has anything to do with being a nut.

Were that the big problem with them you'd be able to buy one at Bass Pro. You can't for the same reason you shouldn't be able to buy a semi automatic weapon capable of firing 200 rds per minute and designed for no other purpose than killing people. A 5.56mm rd is designed to blow the backside out of whatever it strikes, it's particularly lethal when used to kill elementary school kids.

 

[DonTom]

Were that the big problem with them you'd be able to buy one at Bass Pro.

They would not want to deal with the paperwork and other legal requirements. And the very long wait. I don't blame them. Besides, full autos are banned in many states, such as in CA, where they have Bass Pro shops.

Booze and drugs kill more than three times as many people in the USA as do all guns combined.
AFAIK, the 20 Millon AR15's in the USA killed nobody today. We certainly cannot say the same for booze.

Please don't overlook the Tesla fatalities...

Tesla Deaths: Digital record of Tesla crashes resulting in death

Tesla Deaths is a record of Tesla accidents that involved the death of a driver, occupant, cyclist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian.

Please don't overlook the Tesla fatalities...

I would like to see that in percentages compared to other cars of similar size and features.

What that reminds me of is the countless Tesla fires that got in the news.

But when I did a little research on my own, I find this:

• Electric vehicles: 25 fires per 100,000 sold
• Gas-powered cars: 1,530 fires per 100,000 sold
• Hybrid cars: 3,475 fires per 100,000 sold

So I decided to see how safe my Tesla Model three is.

I see it is on the list for one of the safest cars in the USA.
