Why do we use the leftist coined term “Assault Weapons”?
Until the 70s we just called these firearms centerfire rifles.
Agree. IMHO, these weapons should be referred to as So-called "assault" weapons.
Since some secret government agency will be reading this post (they read everything on FR, didn't you know?), I'll go ahead and get it over with. I admit that I own hundreds of assault weapons:
knives, hammers, hacksaw,
chainsaw, wood saw, chisels,
my truck, screwdrivers, table saw,
meat cleaver, bullwhip, nail gun,
lawnmower, circular saw, golf clubs
and a propane torch.
When you come to my house to confiscate my assault weapons, please bring a large truck. And I'll want a receipt.
