“people with serious mental illnesses should not own assault weapons”

The rest of us arent’t allowed to; why should the mentally ill?

An assault weapon has fully automatic capability. Don’t let these gun-grabbing dirtballs refer to semiautomatic rifles as “assault weapons.”

Exactly, at least a three round burst.

I try not to. I prefer to use the phrase so called “assault weapons.”

Automatic rifle, machine gun, submachine gun and machine pistol were not appropriate. Semiautomatic rifles didn't sound bad enough. So, it appears Josh Sugarmann made up the term out of whole cloth. And the BS media has been using it for two decades, sometimes showing automatic rifles firing instead. The BS media even has the gall to call 5.56 x 45 mm and 7.62 x 39 mm ammo high powered! It's agitprop. Don't call them main stream or lame stream media anymore. They are BS media. If they question you, you tell them most people know what bravo sierra means, and it's not Bachelor of Science.
