both of these guns function in the same way and fire the same cartridge
all of the guns pictured here are semi automatic and will accept a magazine of any capacity. the "hunting" rifles shown here are typically displayed with smaller magazines that fit flush with the rifle stock and that's how they're typically sold.
semi automatic =/= fully automatic. none of the guns here are select fire and will not under any circumstances fire more than one round per trigger pull.
also, modifying a semi automatic to fire full automatic is not an easy thing to do and is not legal
aside from the shotguns ALL of these guns will accept box magazines of ANY SIZE.

First, I agree the bans are crap. That said if the pistol grips didn't make 'em more effective, military and police forces wouldn't use 'em.
QQTrain
Yep
WhitestGuyUKnow
but, ar-15s have detachable box mags right? thats different from a normal hunting rifle. you can replace the normal one with drum mag or....
WhitestGuyUKnow
in some crazy cases make it belt fed. isnt that fairly different in function?

I don't get the tweet you added at the end..
Socrates214
#3 one of these looks like bolt action, not semi automatic. #7 I'm pretty sure these don't hold the same capacity of ammunition either.

Okay I get it politians are asshats you don't need to remind me

Too bad you gun nuts are concerned about only one of the more trivial rights while others are being stolen from us left and right.

Chloe look like she got some nice titties.
MasterFlippyFloppy
Sure, it's not a great start to reducing the number of guns but at least it's a start. Well done, USA.
Horsepenisdotmpeg
What the fuck does it matter then? I'm a born and raised hunter and I don't cry about it this bad as long as I have a rifle to hunt with.
LightStriker
I'm not sure I would go hunt deers with a gun that would look like that.
hateyouall
the tweet is scary, but politicians don't really know what they're talking about

I still need to buy a Remington 700 in .300 Win Mag

That last photo with the comment from Chloe what stupidity at its best. Someone please punch her in the face.

smh for feinstein

That tweet shouldn't have been included
MasterFlippyFloppy
Because we are all dumber for having read it. What a fucking moron!
NotthatkindofChristian
The tweet exemplifies the stupidity of some people when it comes to firearms or law enforcement
Himgurian
Anyone / everyone is afraid if they have any firearm pointed at them, it's instinct. It's about whether or not it hinders your reaction.
WishIwasRevan
I like the effort you put into this sir. Well done.

Wasn't OP. This exact gallery has been posted a number of times in the last couple of years. Though I agree with it, it's getting old.
AlexanderGhostly
Not much effort, really. I saw this same post quite a bit ago. Enjoy it if you will, though.

So what you're saying is that we should ban all guns instead of just some..
LightStriker
Or that people whine about the look of guns... not sure.
Rayxzerox
I think the point is that the current gun bans are superficial and only in place to look there is some form of control
theaddictedimageviewer
Or like Australia, class semi-automatic weapons differently to non-automatic (semi or full) weapons.
theaddictedimageviewer
Non-automatic requires 'genuine reason', semi-auto are heavily restricted, automatics are illegal.

FUCK guns
Socrates214
that sounds dangerous
TheBurninator
Is it possible though? I'm desperate
Socrates214
if you get something with a grenade attachment, you could slide a fleshlight into that large barrel.
TheBurninator
+1 for creativity
EvilHans
guns wrote world history and allowed your ancestors to eat and survive. you don't exist without them. guns are good, crazy people are bad
photony
bullshit...
EvilHans
props on the mature response
FtwImNotSure
Banning rifles or handguns won't do anything. Psychotic people will finds a means of doing harm to others regardless of weapon or device
TheBurninator
Guns are cheaper on the street than in legitimate businesses in my city.
SuperLudo
That stops being the case in countries with gun laws. Guns are tens of thousands on the black market in Australia.
KnightofRenown
The data proves you wrong. Murder per capita of Canada vs the States.
kabalesk
(1/2) This one will get downvoted to hell, but its also due to culture, the US has many more 'ghetto' areas, that hike murder up
kabalesk
+ usually have high poor minority demographics, whereas NH, regularly the safest state, has very lenient gun laws and very white population
FtwImNotSure
More homicides in the us are due to blunt force trauma rather than firearms
FtwImNotSure
Besides, neither pro gun or anti gun activist are going to stand up at the end of a debate and say "you know what,you're right"
KnightofRenown
No. Just no. I'm PMing you a link, but look up FBI expanded homicide list.
FtwImNotSure
Well I may be wrong. However being a victim of a robbery where I was shot earlier this year luckily I had my gun and was a better marksman
KnightofRenown
And one of my closest friends was killed with his own firearm. Situational evidence doesn't really push one way or another.

Like as in making home made bombs. Explosives they can hurl into crowds can be as equal or more damaging

Im all for guns. But for responsible people... Unfortunately you don't know who those people are

Not exactly. You can make a fertilizer bomb very easily. That's what was used on the OK City bombing.Taliban uses ied. Not sophisticated
