It was an unflinchingly dedicated socialist named Adolf Hitler who was personally responsible for bestowing the term Sturmgewehr on the select-fire (meaning both semi-auto and full-auto capable) MP. 44, and the English translation ("assault rifle") stuck. Socialists naturally love to use socialist terminology, and the more lurid the better.

"Armalite," by comparison, isn't sufficiently brutal sounding for the argot and cant necessary to stir up the mob.

Palmetto State is a terrific company and their prices are often unbeatable.

I’m seeing several VERY angry reports.

Does Townhall really think Palmetto State is a “gun store”?

What do you mean does Townhall mean? Townhall didn't write the article for heavens sake. *rme*

I'm really getting tired of having to explain the difference between an author and publisher
