No such thing as an "assault" rifle

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?

The death penalty are for ADULTS who have committed such a terrible crime that the Courts have decided they can't be in society; but can you tell me the crime an unborn baby has committed, seeing as how you appear to want to equate the two?? :dunno:

If you post your address, those who are pregnant from incest or by rape will be happy to drop them off for you to care for them. You are not pro-life, but pro-birth. This would give you a chance to prove you are pro-life and not just assuming the power over someone's life you do not know.

Then does this mean that you're willing to accept a convicted murder into your home, seeing as how you could house him and keep him off of death row.

But did you know that you really didn't ask what was posed and instead, just went off on another one of your diversion rants; because your frontal lobe is stuck on repeat!! :good4u:
