I move - for the purposes of conversation in this forum, that we accept that the term "Assault Rifle", despite the original definition which included selective fire, is here to stay and until we have another term for it which better defines the type of weapon, we allow people to use it without derision.
Is there a second for this motion?
Is there anyone who'd like to sponsor a motion to come up with an acceptable term for those semi-automatic civilian weapons most often referred to as "Assault Rifles" (and a definition to go with)? A term that would stick?
I just refer to my AR-15 as a semi-automatic rifle. When asked (which isn't often) if that's an "Assault Rifle" I just say, "that's what they're often called".
