FYI:  ALERT!

Federal agents, meanwhile, continue to investigate the recent activities of the shooter,
Adam Lanza, who took his own life as police moved in on a classroom where he was killing children using a high-powered rifle.

Has more information come to light, that justifies this comment?

The two pistols were found inside the school and
a .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle was found in the back of his mother's car in the parking lot.

The left has been abusing the terminology for almost 25 years now.

The fact is, an assault rifle (sturmgewehr) is a rifle that has select-fire capabilites, like an M16 (full auto or semi-auto, based on a selector switch position). These are heavily restricted for civilian use, as they are NFA items.

An “assault weapon” is a scary, black thing that makes liberals wet their pants in abject fear, but is impossible for them to clearly define.

Agree: There is such a thing as an assault rifle -- the phrase describes a select-fire (semi-auto/full-auto) rifle. See post(s) above.

The made up phrase "assault weapon" describes anything that makes libtards wet their panties and that they think they can ban because the weapon looks scarey. It is a deliberate deception made up in the 1990s. The idea is older:

  "The semi-automatic weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's
   confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic
   assault weapons anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to
   be a machine gun can only increase that chance of public support for
   restrictions on these weapons."
                       --  Josh Sugarman, 1988, Violence Policy Center.

Why do undecided people answer a poll?

Isn’t an assault rifle a type of rifle that has that thingy just before the trigger that you wrap your hand around and that has that other thingy at the end of the barrel that hides the flash from the shooter?

Of course, a folding or adjustable stock will make it even deadlier.
Put down your coffee cup before viewing!

Carolyn McCarthy doesn't know what her own stupid gun ban really bans! It is the shoulder thing that goes up.

The liberals’ profundity always amazes me if it wasn’t so menacing.

Everything on earth can be used to “assault” somebody else.

extra-terrestrial objects to carry out my evil plan. ;^P

Those are the people who should be put on a watch list.
Which is why the FBI puts 'undecided' in every poll. ;^)

Poll: Is the NRA finally going to abandon the myth of a pro-gun Democrat?

Yup. They look pretty stupid with their support of Harry Reid about now. What are the odds that Harry won't bring up a new AWBan? Hmmmm. I'd say about ZERO!
