Just one problem. Sisolak now admits he doesn’t even know what an assault rifle is.

“I don’t have enough of an intimate knowledge about exactly what an assault rifle is,” he said recently when asked by the Nevada Independent if he’d pursue an assault weapons ban in the 2021 legislative session. “You know, I’ve met with folks, I’m trying to become more educated. It’s not the look of a weapon that makes an assault rifle. Is it the velocity? Is it the expanded capacity to rapid-fire? I mean, those are the kinds of things. Once you ban one thing, you ban product A, they come up with product B. That’s going to be the same thing that product A did. All you’re doing is making more money for gun manufacturers.”

Oh. Now he tells us. His plan was such a load of garbage that he doesn’t even know what he was talking about. Even for a politician, the dishonesty here is staggering. Sisolak politicized the largest mass shooting in modern American history to push an incoherent sound bite.

Definition of an assault rifle;

Any rifle which is used to assault someone.

I had many rifles prior to the boating accident. I know none of them weren’t assault rifles because they all just hung quietly on the wall and never shot anyone.

While pdjt’s he’ll protecting our rights is appreciated , the whole purpose of the 2A is that American citizens can ( and all) protect our own rights.

***by banning “assault rifles”***

I still remember 1962 when the politicians “ONLY” wanted to register handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”

In 1981, actress Lee Grant went on Good Morning America and poled holes in the air while yelling...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

In 1984, they made a grab for the rifles, and missed, but showed their hand. Now gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.

NONE of them know what an “assault rifle” is.

A lying politician? Shocked, I’m so shocked.

Sadly, it is becoming the rule, not the exception.

The author kind of missed the point by himself equating the term "assault rifle" with "assault weapon."

An assault rifle is a true military weapon, capable of burst or fully-automatic fire. And those already are illegal/extremely difficult to get.

It's "assault weapon" that has no true functional definition.

When asked what is an “assault rifle “ he replied it’s a campaign slogan.

Well, admission of ignorance is supposedly the beginning of wisdom. Let’s keep an eye on this guy.

Not saying I necessarily believe it!

[[“I don’t have enough of an intimate knowledge about exactly what an assault rifle is,”]]

Here lemme help: An ‘assault rifle’ is a any rifle that walks itself out the door, then down the street, and then punches an innocent bystander in the face for no good reason-

………………………………………………………………

Shades Of Huey Long:

“When I was a boy I would get up at six o’clock in the morning on Sunday and I would hitch our old horse up to the buggy and I would take my Catholic grandparents to mass. I would bring them home, and at ten o’clock I would hitch the old horse up again, and I would take my Baptist grandparents to church.”
Later that night, the political boss complimented Huey as they headed back to Baton Rouge. “Why Huey, you’ve been holding out on us. I didn’t know you had any Catholic grandparents.”
“Don’t be a damned fool,” shot back Huey. “We didn’t even have a horse.”
How can you not love that?

Politicians want to take your guns because they are planning to do something that you would shoot them for doing.

Look at Virginia.
