The Things That They Would Deny Us....

[u/Alternative_Two475]

My fightlite Mission Configurable Rifle has sat idle for 6 years now, and counting. Notwithstanding the rifle's appearance here fitted with a "belt" of plastic dummy rounds with rubber links, it is legally fired using 5 round magazines or 5 round mini-belts and is semi-automatic only. It is merely another semi-automatic AR15 variant with a unique (and quitefascinating) dual-feed system. No need to get overly excited, there Poly.....

As I've said before. The Anti-Gun movement is as much about eradicating gun culture as it is protecting the public. They're just very careful to never say that because that would arguably be a Charter rights violation.

Nathalie Provost and company are convinced that gun culture breeds Right wing violent extremists. (I see it the other way around. Violent extremists are drawn to guns as a means to impose their views) So they are on a Holy Crusade to erase gun culture as a sweeping approach to coping with extremism.

That's why anything "tactical" is high on the list of banned weapons. Not because a .22 with black furniture is especially deadly, but because they are convinced that anyone who wants one is intent on murder practice.

So, with that in mind, this rifle hits all the buttons. If this was really a belt fed select fire weapon like it appears to be, it certainly would appeal to someone who dreams of "making Them all pay'.

This is Scary Black Rifle personified.

Agreed, to a certain extent, although I would suggest that a pump-action shotgun with a 6-round magazine would also appeal to someone with lethal ill-intent. For that matter, ANY multi-shot firearm would appeal to someone fixated on committing lethal, mass-violence of the sort that you describe (eg. "Making them all pay").

If this is really "scary black rifle" personified, then good - I suppose that I chose well in selecting a particular "trigger"! Poly want a cracker?!?

Frankly someone looking to cause a mass casualty event will use literally anything they can get their hands on. Plenty of random public attacks with machetes, bottles of acid, motor vehicles, homemade bombs, etc.
