I can see their point. Firearms labeled as “assault” or “assault style” can be really scary. Especially the dangerous end.
Of course my .44 magnum revolver (”the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off,”) could never be an “assault” or assault-style” weapon.
It’s just not scary enough . . .

Maybe not the wording. But taking away semi-automatic rifles, which is what the left actually wants to do with the “assault” label, is just the first step. Your .44 is just further down their “politically possible today” list.
Fifty five years ago the most terrifying guns in the US were the .22 Saturday Night Special, foreign made .25 cal pocket pistol, and the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles!
Ban these and the US would have no crime! So they did. How did that work out for you America!
If these people weren’t morons they’d be worried more about 300 Win Mags than AR15s.
