Try again.
I never said that those were the parts. I did say that I found a link (in about five seconds) to the instructions for doing the convert, which any gunsmith worth his salt could easily accomplish.

I'm not "trying" anything. I don't even own the weapon.

How do you suggest one defend one's self from an armed criminal?

We all know that the Supreme Court has said that law enforcement have no duty to protect individuals.

We'll wait...

And you can buy a book on how to make bombs, how to torture, how to grow illegal drugs, etc..

What's your point?

If a criminal were to attack me in my home and does not have a gun he is getting a crack to the dome with my baseball bat.

Sure, no problem. Go ahead and take away a right that is actually IN the friggin constitution because some hoodlums run rampant on the streets.

Some people should not be allowed vote.

Let me guess; you have no problem with Roe, a "right" made up by SCOTUS that can be found nowhere in the constitution.

My ignore list just got longer. How can one argue with such ignorance and stupidity?

[sarcasim]You can't buy a "converter kit" they have been "banned."

If you knew anything about the internals of an AK-47 that are available in the US...after hearing your story and ROFL...you would reply "bull****!"

As someone who carried/carrys a "full-auto" in semi mode for many years full auto is over-rated. FWIW

Exactly. USING them.


So, using your analogy, what's the problem with owning firearms as long as they are owned and used legally?

My oh my, now look who's trying to force their beliefs onto someone else. You should steer clear of analogizing gun control with abortion. It reeks of hypocrisy.

90% or criminals commit their acts armed.

What are you going to do? Bring a bat to a gun fight?

If my safety or YOUR safety at risk due to out of control guns in the black market then there is a problem, don't you agree?

Come up with a solution that actually works and makes us safer and i'll all for it.
