Is there any weapon that is not used for assault purposes?

A Freeper recently suggested that they be called Defense Weapons. I forget the Freeper’s name, but I love his suggestion.

Most weapons are NOT used for assault purposes.

They are used for DEFENSE purposes.

And when I refer to any weapons, especially semi-autos, I use the “DR” designation for “Defense Rifle” not “AR.”

Don’t let the left control the argument by controlling the language.

No. You can use weapons for non-assault purposes, like sport and trick shooting. But they were intended to maim or kill things, which is obvious. Assault is of their essence.

You are absolutely right. A lead pipe is an assault weapon so I guess we should ban all plumbing supplies. While we're at it, screwdrivers, hammers, nail guns, stapplers and letter openers should also be banned. Hey I got it, let's all move back into caves and start all freekin over! When is the nightmare going to end?
