Yes, exactly. An "assault rifle" is a military rifle capable of select-fire and fully automatic fire. But, when a hoplophobic gun grabber uses the term, he means something else, like a gun that is too ugly.

Given the principle that 'he who defines the terms defines the debate', people who defend the 2A and RKBA give in when they use this political definition of an otherwise legal civilian firearm.

So the liberal, gun-grabbing, position is founded on lies even in the meaning of the type of firearm they want to ban (this month). Be assured that next month, there will be further grounds to ban some additional class of firearm.

I dare any liberal to tell me that a person who has a firearm with a welded-on muzzle brake is legal while a person owning a firearm with a screwed-on muzzle attachment is a dangerous gun nut who must be convicted of a felony and spend at least 5 years in prison to protect society.

I bet you also have a problem with speed limits -- why is 55 legal and 56 illegal?.
