----------------
A string of high-profile mass shootings over the past few years has spawned a movement to outlaw so-called assault weapons, in particular the popular AR-15.
On January 9, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced a federal bill to ban assault weapons-legislation that's been depicted as life-saving, common sense policy. But its definition of an assault weapon is totally arbitrary.
Proposals like Feinstein's latest draft bill leave shooters with plenty of equally deadly alternatives.
"An assault weapon is whatever is covered by an assault weapon ban," says Reason Senior Editor Jacob Sullum, author of a feature story on the topic in our June 2018 issue. "The criteria that are used to identify assault weapons are things that have little or nothing to do with how useful or how deadly an assault weapon is in the hands of a mass murderer."
The federal government banned assault weapons in 1994, when President Bill Clinton signed a bill also sponsored by Sen. Feinstein. That legislation expired 10 years later. Meanwhile, seven states and the District of Columbia have enacted their own assault weapon bans.
There's little evidence that the 1994 legislation reduced gun deaths, in part because it was mostly a symbolic gesture.
"Unless you really delve into the specifics of what these bills do, you don't understand how utterly arbitrary they are," says Sullum.

"Fully semi-automatic..."
Then whats semi semi automatic?
It's a blunderbuss of coarse, how don't you know this? (Joking) lol
It only fires every other trigger pull
I believe he was trying to explain fanning the trigger; and how it's functionally identical to an automatic fire mode. It's hard to say since the clip cuts so soon.
Fully semi-automatic is semi-automatic all the time.
Semi semi-automatic is semi-automatic some times, and sometimes not
It all depends of the reliability of your action. I have this old Raven .25 cal. Sometimes it's semi-auto and other times I have to manually operate the bolt to get a new round in the chamber. So I guess that gun is semi-semi-auto.
Id like just a regular old semi automatic i dont need all those fancy features
Ya I just lost a chromosome when he said “full semi automatic”
CJ White ya and he said he was an army vet too and holds his gun like a 1st time shooter lol
CJ White did you see the way he was holding it tool lmao
S19 Pajua He was a general
@@IndieThePotato We call these people REMFs (Rear Echelon Mother F***ers) because they sit on a high throne and rarely come out to work with the soldiers. Also, the Army has regulations against talking about politics in uniform, as well as on your social media where it may be known you are in the military. The reasoning for this is that what is said may be taken by the general public as the views of the Army (as is the case here) rather than just your own personal views. Also, this General gives the impression that he knows what he is talking about even though the way he is shooting makes him look like a bad clip out of a "Girls Gun Fail" video
Thats not the person commentating in the video thats the person in the CNN video
“Hey no fully semi automatic indoors”
“That’s not fully semi auto”
“This is”
go back to oc airsoft my guy wrong channel
Oh daayyuum bro okay
Lmao
Oh. Damn ok
Ok so guns cannot be "full semi automatic" its just called semi automatic
these are the kinds of people who think AR stands for assault rifle
What does it mean
@@screech2730 It means Armalite Rifle
@@ItzSpad3z k thanks
ARMALITE
We all KNOW it stands for aaaaass rammer
Full semi-automatic? This man said in other videos that he was an army general but he holds a rifle like a 3 year old. STOLEN VALOR
Nah...Generals never actually shoot. They're too busy sitting in an office telling other people what to shoot. Also, they're officers, so they generally don't see anything but an M9...only reason I saw a few butterbars carrying rifles in Iraq was because the unit ran out of M9s to issue.
This so called general is maybe a west point college educated idiot he probably never had basic training: >
He should be shot.
He was an Obama appointee. Take that as you will.
@@LezChap he was a privet at one point and had to learn to shoot a rifle
That guy has obviously NEVER shot a weapon.
He’s actually an army general, which makes it even more sad
Yep it’s sadly true, I truly wonder how he made it that far with his “fully semi automatic” rifle.
Yeah this dude is flinching so much. Youre sopused to anchor it in your shoulder
The claim he's a general but he's holding it wrong and can hit shit. His grouping looked like he shot a single bird shot round for 100 yards away. Cnn lied to push gun control.
@@vaughnweber674 the probably lied about that to push gin controll
It hurts my soul every time I see that “general” shoot that ar-15. He acts like it’s gonna jump back and bite him.
It's not the general shooting that way you have to re-watch the original video because the reporter they sent looks dead on him to confuse people in believing it's the general having a hard time shooting the big bad scary AR-15
CNN lied about him being a general. if he is even someone competent you actually know how to hold the gun and his groupings wouldn't be 10ft. CNN just lied to push gun control and that's why I don't watch them.
Dirty Dan he had no control of the gun at any time in the video
'Is a 50 cal man is supposed to recoil like 2 mules on fire! those assault antiaircraft heatseeking 50 cal AR15 are hard to handle!'
Darkshock 42 MLG 0 he is a real general but the military doesnt force desk officers like him to do normal soldier things like maintining physical fitness or shooting

Ahh yes. G11 sleepo beepo
AR15’s are known for being lazy. Now AK47’s are known to jump out of gun safes so make sure you keep those on a leash.
Ar-15's are very docile guns
Common misconception is that AR means assault rifle. That’s why they want to ban it. In reality it means Armalite Rifle

@Yes yes yes "Assault rifles are worthless in modern society for hating, or self defense." Tell that to the people in he Middle East. Tell that to people in China where they are living in a modern day tyranny.
@Yes yes yes The Japanese didnt surrender only by nukes they surrendered because the Soviet Union also attacked and they rather be occupied by the Americans than the Soviets. In fact the Japanese didnt believe or knew much about atomic weapons until after the war.

He's shooting like a girl
@@broccoligang1508 more like someone who wasn't taught how to shoot
@@rossdirkse5267 Also he is bracing for recoil like he is shooting a 50. BMG
Hes purposefully trying to make it look more powerful then it is to make people afraid of it.
Should just put wood on all AR-15s, that would solve it.
Na it wouldn’t cause they want to ban ak47s and a lot of those, at least the original kalishnacovs forgive me for misspelling the legends name who invented the ak, are mostly made of wood.

-Me, if I didn't have a brain
Is your car made specifically and who's sole & only purpose for it to exist at all is to kill 100 people in 2 minutes? Or is it a form of transport? Think about it Einstein? Conclusion; you DONT have a brain and your analogy is garbage. Next dumb thing to say, I'm sure you have plenty more.
@ it's a jeep, so yes
@@nickelhunter3129 LOL - that's a bit funny. Still BS but funny.
@ which shooter killed 100 people in 2 minutes? Or even close? That's a pretty short amount of time, just like saying I took a day trip in my Jeep from NY to CA.
@ if you want to be taken seriously, get your facts right. 40,000 deaths a year (6/10 are suicide according to pewresearch.org), not 60,000, and to kill 100 in 2 minutes is pretty impossible (Las Vegas shooting- 59 dead in about 10 minutes). And I agree, there are idiots who dont care, and others wh are ignoring it, but a good 90% of us do care. We dont live in areas of cities like L.A., Chicago, and NY, and have dysfunctional households. What I'd like to see is a basic gun safety questionnaire and a suicide prevention pop-up sort of thing when purchasing a firearm from licensed dealers, and more support to crime ridden areas. That's where the violence is. Deal with criminals, not the hundreds of millions of law abiding citizens like you and me. This wont fix all the problems, maybe not even 30%, but it is a better way of going about it than grouping more people into criminals because now they own an unregistered, or banned firearm. Also, banning types of guns or all guns, or guns from certain areas obviously don't help anyone (i.e. sandy hook, Las vegas, Columbine, Virginia tech).
"We are banning assault weapons."
"How do we categorize what's an assault weapon?"
"The things we're banning."

Not if it has wood furniture. That's not as "assaulty"
My dad bought a new Mini 14 during the AWB. It was a fun and reliable rifle.
@Bullets Forteeth FULL AUTO The United States Army defined assault rifles in the 70s, long before nutbags like Pelosi and Feinstein came along.
The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges." It must be capable of selective fire.
I wouldn't worry about that one, it's too fragile.

My guess is they are trying to change the nomenclature so that 10 rounds becomes the standard. If you looked at it from an end-game standpoint (assuming a bill had passed reducing the largest size to ten rounds), you wouldn't want people calling the 10 rounders low capacity and 30 rounders standard because people would vote to have the law reversed. I think it is intentional,; not caused by ignorance.

Hanguns are the weapons that most gun crimes are committed with.
The AR-15 uses a .22 caliber bullet. That is, a diameter of the bullet (projectile part) used is .223".
Less than one quarter of an inch. (.25" )
Same as a .22 long rifle bullet. These small caliber rifles and handguns have a velocity of approximately 1,200 + or - feet per second. Weighing around 40 grains
The most common AR-15 ballistics are 3,200 feet per second, weighing around 55 grains.
Back in the '60s, when ussued these military versions (m16), the training personnel in the Army would call the "new fangled" arms POODLE SHOOTERS.😊

The Constitution? Lol just a guess.
Anything that removes or restricts a person's liberty is unconstitutional.
@Hans the piece of paper. Anyone with a half a brain knew the intent of our founding fathers. The constitution was design to limit state power, not give it. The state does not have the authority to restrict the use of arms. God wrote the constitution himself, these are natural rights

Alison Burgers a person who has no former experience with a gun is a lot more dangerous than someone with no former experience with a bow.
@@thelordofforeheads2839 Cant say that is necessarily true. I recall a senator saying she had shot an ar15: it weighted 20kgs and fired rounds that were so big that she believed the individual rounds should be licensed. I feel that such a person would not pose a threat to anyone, even herself. Apart, perhaps, from giving herself a migraine trying to figure out how it works..
Banning guns based on appearance is the only way they can ban the specific guns they want banned. The Ruger-AR comparison just illustrates their ignorance. They demonize the "barrel shroud", but have no idea what it is! It's just a "feature" that they can use to ban a particular class of weapons.
“A defining characteristic of the ar15 is the speed and power of the bullet”
wow so like every gun ever?
except for the kolibri
Funny thing about it if they had the technology to make the components properly in such small sizes it would have been deadly
Right -- that .22 caliber, 55 grain MONSTER of a bullet. It should tell them something that several states already ban the .223 for hunting due to its relatively low kinetic energy. Minimum caliber for deer in WA is .240.
I just looked up some ballistics data on ammo from various manufacturers, and picked one from the middle of the pack. The .308 cartridge has 2.38 times as much kinetic energy as the .223 in the same brand.
@@TCTheDS bruh that thing in bf1 was so op I went on 50 kill streaks with it
Actually an AR-15 fires a relatively small .224 bullet weighing between 50-77 grains. It is not a long range firearm. The weapons rounds are not considered powerful enough to hunt deer in most states. We need to switch to more powerful weapons like M1 Garands and other really powerful rifles. Lets upgrade to .308x51, or 30-06!
Just watching that guy firing his “assault weapon” made me cringe.

For any politician out there:
1) what I class as an assault rifle is a select fire rifle with an intermediate cartridge (e.g. 5.56 or 7.62x39) that feeds from a detachable magazine not a ‘clip’
2) the difference between semi auto and full auto is semi auto fires only 1 round and self loads a fresh one at the press of a trigger whilst full auto automatically fires rounds when the trigger is held down until the mag is empty or the operator lets go of the trigger. ‘Fully semi auto’ is like saying ‘I’ve got a fully half circle’ it’s either semi automatic or fully automatic
