Is this an "assault post"?


"Assault weapon" is a lie. Yes, there is such a thing as an assault rifle, but that's an entirely different thing with a real definition. An "assault weapon" doesn't have a set definition; it just "is" whatever the anti-gun bigots want it to be today. Usually whatever they feel like they can get away with banning right now. (They probably want to ban ALL guns, but will take what they can get now and try for more later.)

I guess in their eyes something is an "assault weapon" if it is more effective than the base model. Or scarier, for some subjective reason.

By that type of... "reasoning"... an "assault book" could be a computer or a religious book. Or a science book. Or something by Claire Wolfe or L. Neil Smith. Scary!
Motorcycles might be "assault bikes". Or maybe a regular bike --if it has cards in the spokes and flame decals-- would qualify.
"Assault baths"? Showers. "They didn't have showers in 1776, so you don't need them today!"

Idjits.

Those who use the term "assault weapons", other than when making fun of ignorant anti-gun bigots, are too dumb to have their opinions listened to. You can be warned by the lies they tell, though, so you know how they plan to enslave you. That way you can be ready to resist, not to comply.

    Very good points. I know a person who is actually highly intelligent but still uses the term "assault weapon" which is just... sad. He's swallowed the proverbial Kool-aid and doesn't even know it, he thinks he's a champion of gun rights, at the same time he's trying to figure out new ways of making a "smart gun" and advocating the carry of revolvers over automatics. But, he gets all his news from NPR. It's actually pretty embarrassing since we're related. But, I can't tell my dad anything.... - R

    I wouldn't mind if there were a way to make a "smart gun" that couldn't be used by anyone but the authorized users. So far I've seen nothing that doesn't have even worse risks. I don't trust locks or electronics. And, obviously, it would have to be 100% voluntary.

    My dad also doesn't trust semi-auto handguns, and is scared (?) of anything over .22 caliber. I have given up on converting him. At least he sees the value in carrying something. I did correct him the other day when he used the word "clip" when he was talking about a magazine.
