MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
I keep hearing the left talking about banning "assault weapons" and would like to know, what is an "assault weapon"?

Please be as descriptive as possible, instead of making "vague" references.

Thank you

The Communist Chinese government, via its state-run media front Xinhua, has called for Americans to be disarmed, arguing that the Sandy Hook school massacre demands “no delay for U.S. gun control.”

Xinhua is virtually the press agency for the Communist Chinese government. The organization, “is subordinate to the State Council and reports to the Communist Party of China’s Propaganda and Public Information Departments.”

Well....at lease the Democrats of the US have some international support from their friends and allies overseas.....

Ya know...when I see shit like this, then see it comes from Infowars, and is all over every crazy conspiracy blog out there and highlighted by none other than BREITBART, it's pretty easy to realize the story isn't really what's being told.

Here's the story from China:

Twenty-eight innocent people, including 20 primary students, have been slaughtered in a mass shooting at an elementary school in the U.S. state of Connecticut. Their blood and tears demand no delay for the U.S. gun control.

The massacre has triggered a new debate on gun control in the United States. However, this time, the public feels somewhat tired and helpless.

The past six months have seen enough shooting rampages in the United States. Just three days ago, three people were shot dead at a shopping mall in Oregon. Two weeks ago, a football player shot his girlfriend dead and then committed suicide. Five months ago, 12 people were killed and 58 wounded in a shooting spree at a midnight screening of a Batman film in Colorado.

However, these are only part of the gun violence which has drawn the whole country's attention. Every time a tragedy occurs, there are renewed appeals for gun regulation. However, the calls disappointingly always fail.

Regulation of private gun ownership has been a sensitive issue in the U.S. for a long time. Americans own 280 million guns, with 34 percent of U.S. families possessing the deadly weapon. Gun lobbies, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), are very influencial.

Centering on issues such as whether citizens can bear arms, and whether the government has the right to ban guns, the opposing camps have debated hotly for years.

Electoral politics is another important reason for the failure of gun control efforts. The Democratic Party has historically paid a price for its gun control efforts.

The Clinton government launched a series of gun control policies at the end of last century. And the Democrats lost the Congressional election in 1994 and the presidential election in 2000, with the shadow of the NRA present in both defeats.

The terrifying mass shooting in Colorado happened in an election year. As a result, neither of the Democratic nor the Republican party were willing to step up gun control, due to possible political ramifications.

For all that, the latest heartbreaking deaths of the 20 schoolchildren aged five to 10 have made the crime especially unbearable. Many people can't help but turn to the dim hope once again: the gunman's cruelty and evil may provide a strong momentum and broader public support for the restart of gun control efforts. Moreover, with no re-election pressure, President Obama is currently in the best position to promote it.

Obama said of the latest tragedy the country had "been through this too many times," and it was time to put aside political differences and "take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this."

Some people have noticed Obama's tougher tone this time, compared to the Colorado shooting, when he called for "prayer and reflection."

Action speaks louder than words. If Obama wants to take practical measures to control guns, he has to make preparation for a protracted war and considerable political cost.

Hardly a call to rip the guns out of the hands of all Americans, isn't it?


Look, dumbfuck. When a story, as I noted, is found everywhere but legitimate sources, it's bound to not be true.

Ergo: anything that fires a bullet.

Have you always been scared of guns, Howie?
Your daddy must have worn one and since you hate your daddy, you also have to hate everything associated with him.

It's like a "deadly weapon" meaning anything we don't like or find annoying or don't possess. It's semantics.

But Howie, USF asked you for a definition of an assault weapon and you had the audacity to give him one. That's just not fair!!

Ah, well, it does not have a term. It's words used to describe rifles and guns that have mass destruction in mind. So, I guess referring to them as Weapons of Mass Destruction is by far the better term.

Those are cosmetic features. For example, this:

Is an evil scary 'assault weapon', but this:

Is not.
