SAF SAYS D.C. CIRCUIT DENIAL ON RE-HEARING OF PARKER CASE WAS RIGHT

http://saf.org/viewpr-new.asp?id=225

For Immediate Release: 5/8/2007

BELLEVUE, WA – This morning’s decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to deny a petition from the District of Columbia for a hearing of Parker v. District of Columbia before the full court was “right and proper,” said Alan M. Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation.

“This is a strong signal that the D.C. Court of Appeals, which is the second most powerful court in the country, feels the original ruling by Senior Judge Laurence H. Silberman is solid,” Gottlieb stated. “It is now up to the district to accept the ruling and begin the process of licensing handguns to be kept legally in district residences, or to appeal the case to the Supreme Court.”

A win for the gun owners, but we can not drop our efforts, or let our guard down.

Mythology 101

Mythology 101

Assault weapons with large capacity magazines are capable of spraying thousands of rounds a second.

First off male cats spray, NOT GUNS, water hoses spray, NOT GUNS, fear mongering anti-gunners spray out there asses, NOT GUNS. I know of no assault weapon that is used today that can put out thousands of rounds a second. The more bullets that a gun puts out per minute makes for less accuracy, a hand held weapon using full auto most times results in some loss of control of the weapon by the shooter and reduces the effectiveness if the weapon.

M-16a1 has a cycle rate of 650-750 rounds per-minute, this is dependent on a continuous feed of ammo, which the M-16a1 is not designed to do. One must manually replace each magazine with another taking up time. A best guestamate of the fire rate of a M-16a1 under ideal conditions and a real good shooter is about 300-400 rounds a minute. This is a far cry from the thousands of rounds a second that most fear mongering anti-gunners spray out there asses.

The Ingram M11 in 9mm has one of the highest cycle rates coming in at a rough 1200 rounds a minute. This again is calculated on a continuous feed of ammo, which this weapon is not designed to do either. A conservative estimate is around 500 rounds a minute due to the operator having to change magazines after every 30 rounds.

A good site on the cycle rates of deferent supposed assault weapons is here.
