Damn, they must be a new development, so better buy a bunch, since they'll go up if banned......
Yes you read that correctly. Nancy Pelosi used the term “assault
magazines in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell in talking about
how the kind of firepower allegedly used in the Sandy Hook Elementary
School shootings should be outlawed.
My AR is not an assault rifle.Continuing with that point, let’s define our terms here. “Assault” is defined by Noah Webster as:
It is not an assault weapon.
It will never be used to criminally assault anyone.
My AR will only be used for defensive and sporting purposes.
It is simply a modern musket.
1. An attack or violent onset, whether by an individual, a company, or an army. An assault by private persons may be made with or without weapons. As assault by an army is a violent hostile attack; and when made upon a fort or fortified place is called a storm, as opposed to sap or siege.So Morgan is correct. My weapons, and I’m sure many of yours, will never be used to criminally assault anyone. In fact, if we were to use the term “assault weapon,” it could literally be applied to anything; a baseball bat, knife, pencil, barbed wire, or even a car!
2. An attack by hostile words or measures; as, an assault upon the prerogatives of a prince, or upon a constitution of government.
3. In Law, an unlawful setting upon one’s person; an attempt or offer to beat another, without touching his person; as by lifting the fist or a cane, in a threatening manner. If the blow aimed takes effect, it is a battery.
However, Pelosi moves the argument up a notch. Now she is not even calling for a ban on what she wrongly calls “assault weapons,” but is calling for “assault magazines” to be outlawed!

We must move quickly to ban all kinds of things, just add the word assault to the front of it.

DeleteI guess the very few magazines I subscribe to anymore are "assault magazines" by her definition. The NRA Rifleman and Backwoods Home Magazine will have to be given up if she has her way. When will we be rid of this broom-riding harridan?
ReplyDeleteBetter get Soldier of Fortune also. That ought to really set her off.
DeleteIs this a variation on the "if you want to hit someone with a 1911, throw it at him" joke? I didn't realize that throwing magazines at people was considered a valid tactic in CQB. There was that one American soldier in Korea who threw rocks and C ration cans at the ChiComs.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get these superninja throwing pmags? Clearly, my preps aren't complete without a dozen or three

DeleteThere was a battle in the WBTS when the Confederates were forced to do it also.

Make sure you get the ones with the five point stars. I understand the ones made with four or defective.......:)
The rock-throwing soldier story is interesting. SLA Marshall wrote about the incident in The River and The Gauntlet. The thrower was an officer whose unit had just run out of ammunition. The ChiComs were still coming so he improvised. One of his enlisted soldiers got up and stood in front of him, brandishing his rifle as a club. I can't remember if they both survived that fight.
DeleteReminds me of the great snowball battle.
