“So what is an “assault weapon?”
The term morphed from ‘assault rifle’, which originated with the German StG 44 (abbreviation of Sturmgewehr 44, “assault rifle 44”), a selective-fire (semi-auto or full auto) rifle developed during World War II.
A semi-auto only rifle (i.e. AR15, many hunting rifles) should not be called an ‘assault rifle’ nor an ‘assault weapon’.
Leftists, teachers and MSM minions are very good at manipulating and re-defining word meanings.
Wrong.
AR means Armalite.
Democrats call it assault rifle.
We call it Armalite. Quit uses the enemy’s language.
