~~I’m hearing the phrase “AR-15-style rifle” a lot more in lieu of “Assault Rifle” on news reports.~~
Then it wasn’t just me. When FOX moved on to other reporting after covering Tulsa’s Chief of Police, I turned to CNN and was surprised to see AR-15 STYLE rifle at the bottom of the screen. I posted about it. MAYBE - just MAYBE - enough CNN correspondents have been embarrassed and corrected about what they call “weapons of war”, some common sense is creeping in. I’m not holding my breath.
Now maybe the president will catch up!!! HA - not holding my breath there either!

Linguistic Neuro Programming.
They changed it cause they know there is no such thing as an “Assault Rifle” and many people have figured that out.
I expect them to change the final wording in their legislation to “Assault Weapon”
This way they can include Knifes and Slingshots, Bows and Arrows, garottes, Plastic Bags, etc.
We used to joke about people who’s fists were considered deadly weapons, it is no joke today.
