I wonder if Woody owns a knife. Knives are so easy to get, you know.
If he does, I sure hope that knife doesn't force him to kill somebody with it.

I'm a Camelbak hiker and a Ruger 9mm toter, unlike all you Brokeback hikers with knives hanging out.?

It's legal to conceal carry a weapon in the National Parks as long as it is legal in the State in which they are located.

Does that mean you have a camel toe?

Yes, it is and that is why I will continue to keep my LTC in force since I hike Colorado's RMNP every year. Colorado and Texas have reciprocity, but only Texas lets you carry without a license now. I'll just keep it since I don't want to encounter a mama bear who takes a shine to me as a potential threat to the little ones. Out in the wilds I make racket with my walking stick up against trees so they don't get surprised and have plenty of time to get away.

My pal up in Alaska would tell you your 9mm isn't going to stop a bear. First time up North, I brought along my .357 python for just that reason. Bernie just laughed at me... Said, "you're only going to piss the bear off". Alaska way, if you want to have any hope of stopping a bear, folks up there carry a .44 magnum for a sidearm.

I don't know the numbers but it would be my guest that maybe one in 10,000 people who own a 9 mm or a 44 Magnum or a 357 Magnum or an AR-15 have ever even seen a bear and among that small number maybe 01% have ever had reason to be threatened by said bear. Just a guess.

I've seen 'em but never been threatened by one. But that's why I make noise on hikes. The most dangerous bear is a mama with cubs when she feels like she needs to protect from humans who managed to get right on 'em because they used no warning system to give the bears plenty of opportunity to get very clear of potential human danger to the cubs. But I still carry it with Corbin +P deep penetrating rounds that actually can kill a bear if you have no choice but to use it right up close. Of course I'd prefer not to harm any at all. I carry along a bear horn too to scare 'em away as a first option.

Here we go again with the AR-15. It is a weapon platform designed specifically to be carried by the United States military. The rights were sold to Colt which started marketing them to civilians and law enforcement. It is and always will be an assault rifle. Changing the select fire feature doesn't make it any less deadly.

Here we go again having to explain what an assault rifle is. The current version of the AR-15 is not an assault rifle.
The original ArmaLite AR-15 is unique among all rifles using the "AR-15" trademark, in that it is capable of selective fire and is an assault rifle. All other AR-15 style rifles are semi-automatic-only and descend from the civilian version, the Colt AR-15.
The “AR” in “AR-15” rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.” AR-15-style rifles are NOT “assault weapons” or “assault rifles.” An assault rifle is fully automatic, a machine gun.

Potato Patahto. It's just semantics. I can tell you first hand that in Infantry School in Ft. Benning they teach you fire discipline. That means that for almost all occasions in firefights you conserve ammo using the semi-auto selection on that switch, not full auto. It's far more effective and accurate in suppressing fire coming your way and allows fire teams to work in concert for fire and maneuver to close in on an enemy position. If you go full auto you can't really get the same number of rounds into the opposition where you want them to go. Same applies with a single gunman who has no opposition. It's far more deadly/accurate to shoot the an AR-15 rather than having an M-16 on full auto.
So let's dispense with the BS about one not equivalent to the other. The way you use the M-16 is exactly the same as you use the AR-15.

And the way you use a .22 or a handgun, or a baseball bat. I can assault you with those as well.
The term "assault weapon" became widely used starting the late 1980s. Many attribute its popularization to a 1988 paper written by gun-control activist and Violence Policy Center founder Josh Sugarmann and the later reaction to a mass shooting at a Stockton, Calif., school in January 1989
I'm not sure now that even a fully automatic weapon is or was ever officially designated as an "assault weapon".
My son-in-law was a captain in the in the infantry at Ft. Benning. I will ask him if the Army uses that term.
Looking back, I think we are arguing two different aspects of the same topic? You're taking about how these weapons are used which designates them as assault weapons presuming that "assault" is a valid term. I'm arguing that there is no such thing as an "assault" weapon.
Maybe Cal can straighten things out. I highly respect his knowledge of guns.

for that matter, knives are used the same way in the military in battle. My friend who was in Special Forces back in the day told me that. Knives cut.
Woodpecker is afraid to say if he owns a knife or not. That is really chickenly, even for a woodpecker. (lol new word again)
so, ALL semi-auto rifles and pistols are now "assault weapons" ?
After watching "Von Ryan's Express" (again) - wire can be an "assualt weapon", too.
"Wire is so easy to buy. Knives are for sale so many places."
I suppose a BB gun is an "assault weapon", too.
and slingshots.
and those pumpkin launchers - catapults? assault weapons, eh?
semi-auto squirt guns.
and cars. bows and arrow. trees? fire. pencils. rutabagas. rocks.
watched a western - so, ropes are an "assault weapon".
Petrified wood. (broken woodpecker beaks). Viruses. Poisons.
egad. them "assault weapons" are everything.
