1. The firearm in that pic is an SVD/PSL clone with two 5 rounds magazines. Caliber 7.62x54R. nt

14. There is always talk about high powered assult rifles

In this case, I would agree with the high power designation. 7.62x54r makes my shoulder hurt.

15. Except that if it is high powered, then it is not an assault rifle, by definition.

16. Correcto. Not an intermediate cartridge. nt

2. I bought the kids a 22LR conversion for one or our AR's

They both love it...and I love the savings.


500 rounds for the cost of 50. Pretty sweet deal I recommend everyone get a conversion kit for their favorite plinking AR.

6. Already got a CMMG drop in .22 kit. It's great.

I use it in an old Colt SP1 1/9 twist. Sure is accurate too.

7. FBI Uniform Crime Reports, Table 20, Murder by State and Type of Weapon.

For where rifles fit into the overall violence picture. As you well know, rifles are the least misused of *all* classes of weapon in the United States.

8. But they're such a HUGE PROBLEM

we need to ban "assault weapons" right away, they just look so damn scary!!!

11. Going by those numbers feet are more dangerous in many states

(possibly most, I just skimmed).

We should work on limiting military style assault boots and sports that glorify the use of feet (I'm looking at you soccer).
