Why would you do a crazy thing like that. That thing doubles as a shade tree in the summer time.
If you did not spend all your time riding the Fox News bus from one gun thread to the next, you'd know that MSNBC is irrelevant... tooCarolina Hustler said:

That's not the point, editorializing such things is something that is becoming more and more common for no particular reason. It goes without saying they are punks and low-lifes, the viewer is being given the opinion which they should be formulating themselves.Yea, they are obviously well mannered gentlemen...I love the reporters unbiased report..."young punks" "thugs" "low-lifes"
The media is a hype machine to begin with.. If the worst I get from a media source is them calling a punk for being a punk, then I think we're 150 shades brighter than anything we get from fox or msnbc..That's not the point, editorializing such things is something that is becoming more and more common for no particular reason.

It's also so forced, like the reporter is using these terms to maintain cred or something.That's not the point, editorializing such things is something that is becoming more and more common for no particular reason.

Exactly. I think the bigger story is that this reporter is clearly a racist. We all know what he meant by "thugs".I love the reporters unbiased report..."young punks" "thugs" "low-lifes"
I think it is awesome that she was able to defend her home from these pieces of crap but that doesn't mean that I think it is a good idea for home owners to have assault weapons in their houses any more than I would want them to have bazookas, tanks, grenades and bombs. I would bet a rifle or shotgun would have be just as effective in this case.
Not so sure this is the best example of that. This was a women protecting herself and her young children against 3 armed intruders. Why should we assume a lesser weapon would have been enough? Did you watch the video? One idiot even makes a second attempt to go into the home.
There is no point in arguing about it since neither one of us is going to change each others mind.
I bet she might have even hit something with a shotgun.

Yea, god forbid someone have a pistol grip on a rifle, or a heat shield, or the ability to attach additional tactical equipment... That is just asking for trouble..

In your mind, what is the difference between an "assault weapon" and a regular hunting rifle?

Not talking about break ins here. I'm referring to people entering your house with intent to do you or your loved ones physical harm, so that you are forced to use a firearm to defend yourself.
Where in Charlotte are you? I live in a semi-sketchy neighborhood and have for over ten years. A few years ago my car was broken into. That is the extent of crime I have had to deal with here. In fact I have lived in Charlotte for 25 years and that is all the crime I have been victim of.
I am not a gun expert by any means but I thought an assault weapon implied it was at least semi-automatic and capable of rapid-fire.If her weapon were automatic fire, she'd be in jail.Anything capable of automatic fire.Yea, god forbid someone have a pistol grip on a rifle, or a heat shield, or the ability to attach additional tactical equipment...

Just about every gun sold in america is semi automatic and capable of rapid fire by pulling the trigger repeatedly. Pretty much every pistol.. the VAST majority of hunting rifles and shotguns as well.
So they can miss with more bullets and increase the collateral damage? An odd argument.
Please provide links to some occurrences of this "collateral damage" you outline here with regards to defense against home invasion.So they can miss with more bullets and increase the collateral damage? An odd argument.
This logic would lend itself to suggesting a shotgun imo.
These are the odds where? In Timmyworld ©? You completely made that stat up...
Plenty of people get shot with semi-automatic rifles kept in the home. I can post several stories of children shooting each other with them if you want the full Posty.
According to a United States Department of Justice report:• 38% of assaults & 60% of rapes occur during home invasions.
You suggested more bullets for someone who can't shoot straight. Accuracy of a rifle does not improve the accuracy of the shooter.Please provide links to some occurrences of this "collateral damage" you speak of with regards to defense against home invasion.So they can miss with more bullets and increase the collateral damage? An odd argument.

I agree a shotgun is ideal in this situation but the range of usefulness of an semi-auto rifle is greater than that of a Shotgun by virtue of the added range and accuracy. If one can only afford a single weapon, I cant fault the choice of a semi-auto rifle.
