Delusional? No more dangerous? Let's see. An Uzi or TEC-9 is no more dangerous that a common hunting rifle. OK, Yep, they both shoot a projectile capable of killing a human being. You're right on that point. But the problem with your argument is the Uzi and TEC-9 can fire those projectiles at a rate 100 times faster than a conventional hunting rifle that is normally a bolt action. So if you were walking down the street, and some maniac yelled that he was going to shoot you, which of those two guns would you prefer he'd be carrying? Are you going to tell me it wouldn't matter? That he would have the same opportunity to hit you shooting a bolt action rifle that would take about 5 seconds per shot, as opposed to an Uzi that could shoot 50 rounds in that same 5 seconds?
My point EXACTLY. You seem to be under this delusion that these weapons we are talking about are FULLY automatic. Additionally you are under the delusion that something like this is going to happen to you. Sadly, because your hallucination does not afford your self the benefit of a firearm all you can do is run. A much better and happier hallucination to have would be one where as soon as the deranged CRIMINAL announces his attention, you shoot him in the head ....problem solved...you could then go back to dreaming up other scenarios where this is going to happen to you daily....

Now if you know the firing rates of weapons you surely know the difference between fully Automatic weapons the military uses which require a special (and expensive) license and extensive background check for any individual to own and the semi automatics which anyone can own.
So why are you spreading false information?
In order to feed the fear my friend......
Because in LA LA LAND they are all fully automatic

First, hunting rifles are also commonly pump action and even semi-automatic. I own one of each. I do not own even one bolt action gun.
But my real point is how often does this happen right now? How often did it happen before the AWB, how much less often did it happen while it was in place, and how much more did it happen after it expired?
I don't recall the last time I picked up the newspaper and read about someone going all postal in the street with a fully automatic weapon....
This kind of stuff generally only happens in the movies.
Why fear monger over something that is obviously statistically insignificant?
Again, this poster must obviously feel you are delusional too....
