If he’d take the time to learn about the Constitution, firearms in general and semi automatic weapons and quit referring to them as “assault rifles” we might believe him.

What is an “assault rifle”, anyway? I have never heard that one adequately defined.

The “AR” in AR-15 does NOT mean “assault rifle”(it refers to the original design, ArmaLite Rifle), though it is probably too late to overcome that prejudice in the minds of low-information voters. These semi-automatic side arms only fire ONCE with a squeeze of the trigger. They are not machine guns, the possession of which is strictly controlled by law.
