The Ruger Mini-14 The “Poor Man’s Assault Rifle” [More]
Between 1996 and 2006, the Violence Policy Center received U.S. $4,154,970 in funding from the Joyce Foundation, a non-profit foundation based in the Great Lakes region of the US that funds several gun control organizations.

As a side note, there is a certain karma to all this...
I guess I must be living in poverty, as I can't afford one.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that one of the definitions of features of an "assault weapon" is a bayonet lug, which means that at close range the rifle can be used as a thrusting spear. How advanced!
ReplyDeleteIf I take a broom and mount a pistol grip and a bayonet lug on the broom, would that then be considered an "assault broom"?
Try searching for the term "mad minute". Pre-WWI British soldiers firing bolt action rifles with 10 round stripper clips feeding a non-removable magazine were required to fire and hit their target at least 15 times in a minute. Many could hit their target 25 times. In 1914, a British Sergeant was able to shoot 38 hits in a minute. It is reported that some German soldiers erroneously thought that they were being fired upon by a machine gun instead of well-trained riflemen. It is not the weapon alone as much as the person firing the weapon that determines the effectiveness of the weapon.
Wish as some might, we are not returning to muzzle loading, black powder, single shot Brown Bess muskets effective only for mass firing at close range, even though the large calibers do have a certain charm.
