Republicans really need to challenge the term “assault weapon” more, as it conjures up nasty images of full auto AK-47:s in the public mind. The ultimate irony of the “assault weapon” ban is that THE WEAPONS BANNED ARE NOT ASSAULT WEAPONS UNDER ANY REASONABLE DEFINITION.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

Yes. An “assault weapon” is called that because it has a selective fire switch.
To liberals, the words sound mean and bad so they like to say it over and over.

Assault rifles are ones that can be flipped to automatic.
Aside from that, there are traditional rifles, and modern rifles.

What they’re trying to ban is modern rifles, and magazines.

The next step will be the traditional rifles, to the dismay of all the pragmatic idiots who shrug because they use a bolt action.

Agreed.

We don’t sell assault type weapons.

But the average Zerobot wouldn’t know the difference between an assault weapon and a peashooter. They are all bad.

Didn’t the Mormons win the last time the government sent an army to Utah to deal with them?

Agree! Any weapon, even a bb gun can be used to assault. So can a rock, a baseball bat, a knife, etc. The proper term is semi automatic rifle. Holder wants that ban because they need to disarm citizens and it’s scaring the sh*t out of them seeing how many have been sold since Nov.
