.If magically all the AK-47s of the world disappeared.. that would be OK with me. They appear to me to be the Saturday Night special of the semi automatic rifle world
I'm not saying that it's going to happen but Obama runs that risk if he talks about the topic around real journalists. Of course journalists used to be the watchdogs of government overstepping it's boundries. Now we almost always have lapdogs cuddling up to those in power.
This term was coined by President Theodore Roosevelt, who referred to the White House as a "bully pulpit", by which he meant a terrific platform from which to advocate an agendum. Roosevelt famously used the word bully as an adjective meaning "superb" or "wonderful" (a more common expression in his time than it is today). An expression which survives from this era is "bully for you", synonymous with "good for you".
"I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," Obama said.
"But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities."
I agree with this, I just don't believe he believes they way I do. I do not add a "but" to it."I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," Obama said.
"But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities."

They are quite recognizable and deserve no quarter, or respect.
Let's drop the "its not a real assault rifle" mantra. We all know what is being referred to. Arguments of semantics are obvious dodges of the real issues at hand and convince nobody of nothing. If somebody says "we should ban assault rifles like what was used in the theater shooting" it will not convince them that AR's should be allowed by pointing out that a real assault rifle is select fire. They are concerned with what the gun enabled the shooter to do. Not proper terminology.
The gun didn't enable the shooter to do anything that he couldn't have done with any number of "sporting" semi automatic rifles or shotguns.
Yep, they will talk "Saturday Night Specials" to the general public to try anf garner votes, and then draft legislation that includes some of the nicest handguns you own. They will talk "Assault Rifles" to put fear into voters, and then draft legislation that includes your Remington or Browning auto loader in .308 or ought six.The antis are never honest about their intentions
