“assault weapons”

Those who tried to use guns as assault weapons have been pushing up poppies in Flanders since the middle of World War I.

"hose who tried to use guns as assault weapons have been pushing up poppies in Flanders since the middle of World War I."

Funny, but not historically accurate. The first actual "Assault Weapon" was actually called that, the Sturmgewehr of 1944 (StG-44) was the first mass-produced intermediate caliber, select-fire rifle. Its owners are buried in Belgium and East Prussia. The AK-47 and the M-16 are its progeny and very widely used all over the world, so mass burials have been conducted pretty well everywhere except possibly Antarctica since WWII.

What our dear Democrats call "Assault Rifles", aren't.
