What is MORE, Wal-Mart does not sell so called “assault weapons”, WHY? What IS an assault weapon? It is defined by the media and the manipulators as being “military style” assault weapons. OK— what are the FACTs please?
They are semiautomatic rifles——which only LOOK like the military version... and have a BIG difference.
The US military calls these “Rifles”... then they are specifically designated “Assault Rifles”. “Assault Rifles” as defined by the military are “Select Fire” “Rifles” capable of being fire in “Semi-Automatic” OR “Automatic” mode (the automatic mode is known in common parlance as a machine gun). Machine guns have been banned for civilian ownership since 1934 (except for those who pursue and pay for a Class IV license and sign a waiver for the 4th Amendment rights for the weapon).
So— what should happen is we not let the media describe what is “bad”. We have been here before. That’s number one.
Number two is that the Second Amendment was created meaning the civilians, the citizens militia were to be armed just like the military. And, we have NOT been since 1934.
We cannot let the media and stupid people generalize what these rifles are-— define terms— make them understand and then-— demand they leave law abiding people alone with their un-trammelled and un-infringed rights.
Correction, Class III, think it used to be class IV.
All you people making a big deal about my use of the term “assault weapons” need to do two things:
1.) reread what I wrote (”Actually, the Walmarts in my neck of the woods do sell military style black rifles (what Chucky calls an assault weapon) . . . “ I clearly stated it was his term, not mine.
2.) Stop focusing on semantics and get in the game. The gun grabbers are defining “assault weapon” in the laws they write. That becomes the legal definition, not what YOU think it means. Spend a lot less time being Mr. Gunman and spend a lot more time writing your Congressman.
Oh, and send a check to the NRA-ILA while you’re at it.
