Easy answer. All Guns! They can all be used to assult someone, so why not just ban them all? Hell, why not ban pencils to, since they can be used as a weapon in an assult.
Perhaps you misinterpreted what I typed.You might as well wish for that winning lottery ticket to fall out of the sky into your hands. There will ALWAYS be someone somewhere that will attempt to know what's best for YOU.
As things stand now, I'm afraid we as firearm owners are too divided to improve matters in our favor next year. The truth as I see it is, too many owners are only concerned with THEIR favorite particular sub-group of firearm. Until we all fully understand that just because today they want my Ar-15, doesn't mean that tomorrow they won't want your prized Springfield 1903.
Sorry for the rant, just went through a conversation earlier today with a co-worker based on my AR vs. his spiffy WWI & WWII collection.
Nobody actually knows what an assault weapon is, so you cannot be criticized for this usage.
Whoever told you that was dead wrong. None of it even makes any sense.I was told that an assault rifle has in enclosed bolt system such as AK47, AK74, G3, M2 (GREASE GUN), M16 SERIES, UZI and etc. Weapons with open bolts like bolt action rifless, M1 GARAND & CARBINE, M14, MINI -14 and etc. are NOT considered Assuault Weapons. As you know Machine guns fall under Assault weapons. This is the way it was explained to me.
Pre Klinton ASSualt weapons bill an "assualt rifle" was any rifle that could be changed from full auto to semi auto with the flip of a selector switch. In the real definition the term "slect fire" was used.
assault rifle - a select fire rifle chambered for an intermediate round.
assault weapon - whatever the anti's feel like trying to ban
Assault weapon (n): Whatever we want to ban this week.
