    Dude I don't even feel like you are intelligent or reasonable enough to have a conversation with, you are aren't fighting for the right to have them with an attitude like that. Like has already said you are a cock and firearm owners like you are the reason it is getting harder and harder to get access to firearms, if all firearm owners stood together in 2019 we may not be in the situation we are in now, but people like you were like nah as long as I can keep mah bolt action 22 screw everyone else

    you are totally and utterly incorrect - I fought damn hard back then to keep my semiauto centerfire and abhor the way it all went - my point which seems to have been completely missed in calling me names is that the anti gun lobby want all semi autos banned - we cannot give them traction or ammunition and we dont as a group stick up for ourselves - the very low no of submissions is not going to do our cause any good - as I said read their propaganda and weep - the last thing we need is photos of kids with AR15 lookalikes and I will stand by that

    well Howa 1500 awnser me this why when we have any number of really good semi auto 22 rifles such as Volquartson - Bergara - Ruger 10/22 target models -CZ all accurate proven why would someone buy a 22.cal semi auto copy of an AK47 or a German submachine gun or an AR15 its because of what they look like that seems to be about all - do we need them- not really considering what we can get - the Tippmans I will exclude they seem to be practical and accurate - or do I lack some kind of inner Rambo urge

    Tippmann is very good. If you like something a little heavier then the Kriss Defiance is also very good but does have a reputation for a breaking firing pin issue (easily solved with a titanium replacement).
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I fail to understand the relevance of "why do we need them" because I want to and it looks cool is enough. But it's a rifle that's highly customisable to the user, whether this be changing the stock or trigger, easy mounting of accessories such as lights or thermals for night shooting, rifles such as the Tippmann can have the barrel replaced for increased accuracy. If you want to teach a kid to shoot you can just reduce the length of the stock. oh and yeah, because people want to buy it, what is the problem with this simple statement? We should be attempting to normalize the absolute shit out of this kind of stuff, instead you're like no the people who already want to take all my shit won't if I don't buy a specific type of firearm because it has a scary shape.

    Also, saying it's ok for me to buy a Tippmann but not anything else is absolutely hilarious, can I buy a M&P if I'm on a budget or want a gun that's super lightweight, or is that not ok?

    Don’t argue with an idiot… they will just bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
