Question for you Anti-Assault rifle people

Cypress said:
You asked for an answer, and I assume your question was genuine and sincere.

I gave you the definition of assault rifle as defined by a highly reputable source - Merrian-Webster dictionary.

I put more weight on Merriam-Webster Dictionary's definition than on the assertions and claims of obscure message board posters with an agenda.

You fell for the trick. He wanted some lefty to explain it and then he would give his definition. He was also going to claim his is correct and yours is stupid and liberal. Then, some silly unimportant nuances would absolutely prove everyone was entitled to military weapons by the 2nd. And what you think is an Ar is not exactly correct according to his definition, therefore every conclusion you make about the slaughter of Americans by those weapons can be dismissed.
This is not a new ruse.

Capable of a mass assault against groups of people. That's a weapon for attack, not basic protection. Civilians don't need to clear a space of enemies or blast away a hippo in civilian life. They aren't even practical when compared to a good pistol.

This is the problem with lefties who want to ban certain guns, you just have no idea what you're talking about. Don't you think you should have at least some basic knowledge about liberties you want to deprive your fellow citizens of?

Um, many of us know more than the gun nuts on the issue. We talk about reinstating limitations and suddenly we're banning guns. They don't have reasoned discourse they have trigger reactions. All the knowledge in the world won't do you any good without reasoning. Without reasoning, you forsake knowledge for base impulsive reactions. Anymore it's just a bunch of unoriginal parroting. Any knowledge they have seems to be taking a backseat.

It's hilarious that a large pistol that can down a person with a good shot isn't considered sufficient for protection. Anyting bigger doesn't seem practical for a quick response.

Oh, the old define it away trick. This is not new. We all know this game.
Weapons of war that are designed to kill lots of people in as fast as a way possible do not belong in society. They will be used and misused. They make us all less safe.
Gun lovers are prioritizing gun ownership over the rights of people to live in relative peace.

And you're entire post is based on a fallacy; because they are not "weapons of war", seeing as how the civilian model is not used by the military.

And the only civilian long gun that was used by the military, were shotguns used by the troops in Viet Nam.
