Assault Weapon = Scary looking gun. Not more powerful than any other Rifle, not Select Fire, just a Black Gun.

The Politicos and the Media have brainwashed the Masses, just like they have succeeded in vilifying Conservatives and the Tea Party.

Once you control the language...

Well, then we need a few hundred thousand "The News is all Propaganda" bumper stickers out there.

Yes, and a lot of them are just firing .22 rounds. The MSM wants you to think they're .50 caliber full auto.

IIRC, “assault weapons” are illegal in Kali-Fornia.

As a cop the only thing that frightens me about so called “assault weapons” is they go through my body armor.

Every gun I ever saw would be scary pointed at me by some jagoff.

Not news worthy enough, the cop didn’t get killed, it wasn’t some black cop and the Hispanics did the shooting. Nothing to see here, move along. Now if that had been a black cop shot by a white, all hell would have broken loose. The news media is so out of kilter.

Posh! You should see what my Remington 700 bolt action 30-06 rifle can do with body armor!

But then if I shoot the same load in a military 03-A3 does that make it a “badder” rifle because the rifle is military?

Would it increase the killing power of the round if I spray paint the rifles black?

You are arguing with someone who agrees with you...probably should have read my post closer.
