How many times must it be said that a semi automatic rifle is NOT an “assault weapon”????
The only difference between an AR-15 and a Remington 7400 hunting rifle is appearance....
Assault Weapon........”The term is the creation of hysterical anti-gun folks”.....
I agree! The one in my gun case has NEVER EVER assaulted anyone
“There is no such thing as an “ASSAULT WEAPON”. “
I dont know why people think this is an effective argument or even true. The term assault rifle was used since WWII and usually referred to automatic or select fire weapons. By this definition semi auto rifles with large capacity mags are NOT assault rifles. However there are other definitions of “assault rifles” used by Fed and state govts that are applied to to some semi auto weapons. In any case weapons that meet both definitions exist so saying they dont is absurd. Even if you were technically correct everyone knows the type of weapons being discussed. BTW I am NOT in favor of banning ARs, AKs or any other weapon or high cap magazines. I AM in favor of arguments that dont make our side look silly.
The original Assault Rife appeared in WWII, (called the Storm Rifle which morphed into Assault Rifle) carried by German Soldiers.
It was a Select Fire Rifle with a 30 Rd Magazine that overwhelmed U.S. Soldiers wielding M1 Garlands using 8 Round Clips.
Thank you! Amazing how that’s been normalized in liberal language, eh?
