“Saying you need to understand gun terminology to have opinions on gun policy is the equivalent of saying you need to understand the biology of a heroin overdose to have an opinion on the drug war”

A fine defense of stupidity and ignorance.

Assault rifle does not have a definition. It arises out of confusion that the “ar” in ar15 stands for “assault rifle” rather than Armalite. It’s just stupid. The term does not have a definitive definition.

Could you be thinking of assault weapon? I believe assault rifle does have a definition in the military as a selective fire rifle of medium power. In contrast, assault weapon is some sort of made up political term.

The left is always bullying everyone. They’re always projecting.

They think remaining innocent about guns is virtuous. Their entire lives revolve around proclaiming their virtue, and looking down on others.

Before we had all these terminology fetishes, when I was growing up, we just called them “assholes” and left it at that.

I carried a m16 a1. Never once called it an assualt rifle. I know the Germans had the storm rifle intermediate cartridge auto rifle. That is claimed to be the genesis of assault rifles. I will stick to my guns on this out of overt cussedness in any case.

Come to think of it, we didn’t call our M16’s assault rifles either, but I was navy. Those were for defense to repel boarders. I’ll start calling the M16 a defense rifle then. We assaulted with torpedoes and cruise missiles. Guess I’ll start calling them assault torpedoes and assault cruise missiles.
