The gun business, particularly the assault weapon and ammunition sides of it,
Just don’t fall into the liberal trap of calling just any semi-automatic weapon an assault weapon, or even look a likes with accouterments found on some assault weapons. Real Assault weapons are very very very expensive. That is the clue which no anti-gun liberal has. Smoke, mirrors and deception leading the American sheep down the path of least resistance. No pun intended.
Specifically, gas-operated, air-cooled, semi-automatic weapons in 5.56, 308, ad 7.62 caliber. I own several. They are not military assault weapons, but otherwise they ARE certainly assault weapons in every sense of the word. Make no mistake: my M4-platform carbine was not originally designed with deer hunting in mind.
That being said, the Second Amendment wasn’t about guaranteeing our rights to own weapons to hunt with, it was about guaranteeing our right to own any weapon that could be used to defend ourselves against tyranny.
