No such thing as an "assault" rifle

Nobody's anti-guns anymore than they are pro-abortion. There just is no need to have semi-automatic nor automatic weapons in the hands of citizens.

If you can't defend your home with a gun that has 6 bullets in it, or kill a deer with two bullets in the chamber, then maybe you need to find someway else to defend your family and kill a deer. Knife? Sling shot?

BTW, weapons of mass destruction, like semi-automatic and automatic guns were created to be used in war. We on the left are NOT anti-gun, WE are the ones who are PRO-LIFE

That sure explains why liberals are for abortion. :palm:

Just a minor point of clarification here for the deranged liberal anti-gun nutters...

There is no such thing as an "assault" rifle. The word "assault" is a noun or modifier meaning "to violently attack." No rifle can do this, they are inanimate objects. This is why a lot of you are inclined to say "assault-type" weapons, because your brain and intelligence tells you the modifier is inaccurate and incorrect.

Also, the well-used term "military-style" has the same qualifier. It's not a "military weapon" but a "military-style" weapon. The "style" of the weapon has nothing to do with function or use. I can wear a "military-style" hat, it doesn't mean I am in the military, or the hat belongs to the military, or even that it is my intention to indicate such a thing.

Military units are generally equipped with the most efficiently operating tools, as a general principle, this is what makes one military better than another. To say that a particular weapon is "military-style" simply means the design is most efficient. It may be lighter, easier to carry, easier to load, or more durable than a style that is "non-military." Again, this has nothing to do with functionality other than to indicate it may be more efficient. It might also mean the weapon simply has the "look" of a military weapon, yet has no characteristics otherwise in common. In other words, it is a meaningless modifier in terms of the functionality of the weapon.

It's important that we note, liberal anti-gun nutters are using the terminology in order to evoke fear and intimidation on something they wish to attack and defeat. This is why the calls for gun bans and restrictions are for "military-style assault-type" weapons, and not merely guns in general. Certainly, there are guns which are not military issue or style, and not generally described as "assault-type" but are just as capable of killing another human being in the hands of someone with that intent. Indeed, there are weapons which can accomplish this that aren't even guns. A baseball bat can kill another person just as well as a gun. However, we don't hear about "military-style assault-type" baseball bats, do we?

I've never seen a salt rifle either Dixie. All the rifles I've seen were made of metal, wood and plastic. Though I have seen an "air rifle" but they's just trying to fool me. They're made out of metal, wood and plastic too. Can't make no rifle out of air!

Maybe you can't.
 
Only 1/3 of rifles called assault rifles are really assault rifles.
But since 1/3 does not exist then ...
Now I understand why Dixie thinks there are no assault rifles.

I think there should be an tax on ammunition and guns, psychometric tests, a limit on bullet calibre, no more than .223, and a minimum age of twenty one for gun ownership. Oh and a total ban on southern rednecks!!

Of course, most of that makes no sense at all.

You are an idiot. The right as well as left both want total gun controll. The right just treats it as a single issue voter situation as a way to garner votes. Still a boiling a live form deal. The righties who tell you any different are just drinking kool aid.

Where do you get these wacko ideas?
 
Yeah we gotta ban all them military stuff. You know them guns that have been used by the US Military in six conflicts. Why they got one that will shoot over 160 22 caliber lead bullets in less that six seconds. Then you just need to reload the magazine thingy and it will do it all over again. Why that thing is so nasty that some folks even took it to hte Geneva Convention folks and tried to have it banned as being too inhumane to use in a war. Why they even gave it a assault type name - they called it the trench broom or street sweeper.

But not to worry folks it is quite common in the ordinary household. Heck they sold literally millions of them to civilians. But its 121 years old this year and is called the Winchester Model 97 pump shotgun.

In other words your efforts to ban them baaaaad nastyyy guns is totally nonsensical and silly!!!

Do you know why this group is so fun to play with, because they come up with nonsense like this cow shit. Every gun company in America called them assault weapons at some time , every gun magazine has called them assault weapons ,Screenshot from 2018-04-11 21-41-04.jpg
And every gun owner at some time called them assault weapons , then in 2009 the national sports foundation, a gun industry trade group, released a memo attempting to re-brand assault weapons. You can still find gun companies advertising Assault weapons all over the internet. These people are like the whole right wing, they think they can lie their way into power. NO SUCH THING AS A ASSAULT WEAPON ,are they goofy or what.
