I coulld have probably done more surgery on that, but you guys get the point. This looks very similar to the previous lapsed AWB that was a bad idea then and still is a bad idea now. I don't think this has anywhere near the votes to pass, but I guess they can say they're doing something.

Don't worry, all it will do is drum up gun sales and enable price gouging, it won't actually pass.
Yeah, it's the Democrat's version of trying to repeal the ACA; everyone knows it doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell to pass, but they gotta do it because they gotta do something.

Who thinks they need to own an M60? And where are you going to get one? You make it sound like it's a readily available item. And to be fair, there certainly have been plenty of politicians who would gladly come for the guns if they could.

Was this "arsenal" the type of "arsenal" we see on the news, where people have a handful of firearms and a couple thousand rounds of ammo? Because that's small time.
Was the RPG deactivated?

So basically every single semi auto is subject to the California "OMG if it has a pistol grip or adjustable stock" it is an assault weapon.
Love how we didnt even get a page into this before someone stereotypes gun owners as paranoid becaause no one wants to take their guns.
They just want to ban 90+% of them based on ergonomic/cosmetic features... totally different.
Now any handicapped or people with smaller hands/arms who use these features, I'm sure they just did it for the extra killing power that we all know these features add... much in the same way that wheelchair ramps increase a buildings deadliness by 400%, its only reasonable that we now make them submit to such well thought out laws that only experts on the subject were allowed to draft.

You are good at context aren't you? I was painting a stereotypical portrait to counter his to show how stupid it was.
Detachable front grip which can also be use as a weapon Bi-Pod......so if you slap a front grip to a .22 rifle its considered a Assault Rifle now? What about the ole school Bi-pods where you can slide it over a barrel eh
Edit

As you appear to be quite slow on the uptake, it has absolutely nothing to do with "need".

US Army designates it as a crew-served weapon. Did he have squadmates carrying ammo and barrels? Boom. Crew-served.

No I am just calling a person a tool and a sad person for feeling the need to play army when you can just go sign up for the real thing. But you can use it as a single person can you not?
Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
More left-wing stupidity and total firearm ignorance. Focusing on weapons which cause no appreciable harm.
As for the M60, yes its crew served. It only takes one person to fire it, but it takes another person to carry all the ammo it will need. Just because one dude can operate it doesn't mean its not crew served.

Yes, only one person fires it (obviously).
That still doesn't change the fact that it is operated by a three man team (usually), making it a crew-served weapon.

Welllllll.... that's a bit far. Obviously you left some wiggle in there with "appreciable", but plenty of people have been shot dead with AR-15s domestically. I'm not saying that's a good enough reason to ban them, but let's not dance around what they are either.
To be clear, I think this ban is not a good idea; as it would cover 4 guns I own.

Look at hand guns vs any type of long gun. The FBI doesn't even track how many people get killed with specific types of long guns to even come close to saying that ARs are a major culprit, even among crimes done with just rifles. And rifles themselves are a tiny minority of gun crime, the vast chunk of which is pistols.
Yes, so called "assault weapons" and big scary looking rifles are minuscule and cause no appreciable harm. Statistically, they are about as close as you could get to causing no harm at all. Especially with gun violence, and violence in general, taking a nose dive.
And automatic weapons are literally not on the radar at all. I think the last time an automatic weapon was used in a crime was back in the 90s or something during a bank robbery.
