Article. Assault Rifles.
Sorry, those links are very temporary. See article below.
Now Makaho, kick some knowledge on dem assault rifles. Give me a breakdown on a good introductory semi-automatic assault rifle, best manufacturer, etc.
I went out to the (Uchee) Firing Range in Tuskegee Nat'l Forest and when I pulled up, 3 of the 5 vehicles sported those rebel flag/SCV (Sons of Confederate Veterans) tags. Of coarse I was the only Negro there. I rolled out wit my lil 9mm and .38 revolver,,, but man,,,, DEEZ mugz were PACKIN! :eek2: One ole boy had like this WWII ventage automatic and another M1(?),,, then these mugz (looked like a bunch from Auburn Univ) had these assault rifles with the laser scopes, fold down handle, all kinds of magazines and plenty of rounds.:eek2: There was another (looked like a Marine) dude that had 3 dad-gum look like sniper rifles and this mug was hitting little targets 100-150 yards away with ease. :eek2:
Now despight the tags on the cars, all the ole boys were friendly, a couple of them let me fire their .357mag and their 30-30 deer rifle, so no problems there. I found them to be friendly/cordial much like outdoorsmen in general,,,,,,,,,,,, but boooooy,, i was thinking in the back of my head,,,, if there was a race war,,, we would be WOEFULLY out-gunned,,, except for maybe certain parts of the big inner cities/gang areas.
Tennessee town braces for KKK rally just days after cross burning on black mayor's yard

NEWPORT, Tenn. (AP) -- Just days after a wooden cross was burned on the lawn of this town's first black mayor, authorities were stepping up security in advance of a rally by as many as 200 Ku Klux Klansmen.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol was sending officers to increase security at the Saturday rally, which falls on the anniversary of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's birthday and two days before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
"I hope we don't have any violence, but if we do we've made preparations for that," Police Chief Clay Webb said. "We won't tolerate that in any way."
The community planned a daylong "diversity festival" to draw attention away from the Klan, but officials worried about confrontations between the Klan and counter-demonstrators representing blacks, Jews and American Indians.
Town officials said the Klan has a right to free speech, but they believe the gathering is taking things too far. They are talking about passing an ordinance to block such an event in the future.
"I think the whole community is frustrated," Mayor Roland Dykes said Friday. "We are not satisfied or pleased that this thing is taking place.
The grand dragon of the Tennessee White Knights of Yahweh, the Morristown-based Klan group staging the rally, denounced the cross burning at Dykes' house on Wednesday and denied his group had anything to do with it. Scott Fultz said the purpose of the event is to bolster the group's cause -- not protest Dykes.
"I am there for the advancement of my people," Fultz said. "Our people are losing jobs ... they are losing jobs to illegal immigration in East Tennessee."
Newport is a predominantly white community of 7,100 residents about 40 miles from Knoxville. Although only 2 percent of its residents are black, Dykes said Newport is a tight-knit community with little racial tension.
"We all have a relationship with each other. We are a family, so to speak," he said.
Joe Roy, intelligence project director at the Klan-tracking Southern Poverty Law Center in Birmingham, Ala., said 50 to 200 Klansmen from a half-dozen states were expected.
"We think they are going to unveil a new attempt to unify the Klan across the country under a coalition of states," he said.
The Klan hasn't been unified since the 1980s and is now splintered into more than 40 factions around the country, he said.
