History of assault rifle :)

[stanc]

That seems rather like wishful thinking to me. Unless you can provide some evidence that any fence sitters have been positively affected by ridicule of the "assault weapon" term?

No hard evidence, just the understanding of logic and reason. If a term has no real meaning other than the propaganda value for the dim witted or click bait to sell gun digest books, the intelligent voters will see through it's pointlessness. I know this is asking a lot from many voters, but doing nothing is even less productive.

I'm not saying do nothing. I just think it's pointless -- and probably ineffective -- to expend time and effort attacking the "assault weapons" term.

The real issue is not what title anti-gun activists (or book publishers) use. The important part is the legislation proposed (and the book's content).

Kind of like on this forum LOL. It is easy to turn up one's feet and give up, or say it is pointless, but many of us refuse to think that way. Faith in right or wrong, God, freedom, etc maybe hard for many to understand, but it does motivate many of us. Yea, having faith in something is what it is all about and the fortitude to never quit. We can only hope our faith is for the right things and does good instead of evil.

Well, as far as I can tell, right and wrong, good and evil, don't actually exist. But, that's a philosophical discussion outside the purview of this forum...
