I think you're mixing up "assault rifle" - a very real term, with a very real defintion - with "assault weapon", which, as you state, was dreamed up by anti-gun zealots (to demonize any gun they don't like).

Recall the principle that the party who defines the meaning of words in a debate controls the debate itself. Libs have turned this fancy way of telling a lie into an art form.

Exactly.

IMO That's why the lefts' hypberbole and propaganda must be exposed and corrected. E.G. Any time the leftist-liberal media refers to a semi-automatic rifle, such as the SKS, as an "assault rifle", the error (lie?) should be pointed out, and corrected.

I am well aware of the real, technical, and honest, meanings of these words. I am speaking of the dangers and outright foolishness of falling into a trap the gun-grabbers have laid when we carelessly use their own terms, terms that are hand-crafted to turn the uneducated and unthinking public against the important right to keep and bear arms, if not all at once, then by increments.
