Look, I wasnt for that ban. I own Two "assault Weapons" myself. Its just that alot of people who arnt gun enthusiasts wont mind the "assault weapon" ban as long as they can carry thier hand gun for protection, they will notice, however, when they can no longer do that.

assault Weapons

I never said you were for the ban, and figured you probably wern't. But what is an assault weapon? That's my main complain. It's the term itself. An assault RIFLE can fire full auto. The term assault weapon was a takeoff created by VPC's Josh Sugarmann. His term is so well known, that even pro-2aers are using it now.

Call it sematics, that's what bothers me so much.

That's why every gun owner should be part of the NRA. Hunters supporting target shooters, collectors helping hunters, etc. And together we can stop the global disarmament policies at the United Nations.
