Can you define assault pistol in a meaningful way that is technically distinct?

Is it really misuse? Seems like they work pretty well as they're intended.

I know two wrongs don't make a right but by this point we have to have had enough wrongs to make at least one right.

I believe this dramatic portrayal of the founding father of America as it presently stands is a correct and accurate rendering of the mandatory opinion upon this most sacred of topics.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Guns are cool, but less cool when someone does a crime with them.

The LA Times had an article today about incidence of mass shootings. The USA is on top, but that shouldn't be a surprise when you consider that the number of firearms in the country per capita is greater than that of many nations that are currently undergoing civil wars.

But that IS misuse! If they were intended to harm the user the barrel'd be pointing the other way!

I tried guns once with friends but they were just ok, not something I would run out and get for myself. Maybe I am not a good American.

So because it's effectively impossible to ever get rid of our many, many guns in this country, I think we need to use this thread for what's really important in today's America: unrealistic depictions of guns in media. Stop adding in CGI muzzle flashes, Hollywood! :argh:

Alternatively, what's everyone's favorite gun? Mines the 1911.

I'm partial to the battle rifle. One three round burst is usually enough to take down the guy's energy shields and maybe get a headshot in.

Gently brushing up against guns definitely fits my internal caricature of a gun nut.
