Semantics: "Tactical Rifle" vs "Assault Rifle" --a New Demonization?
I just heard this on Channel 7 News this morning. (Sunday, 30 Sep 07, 9:10 AM).
Did not catch the whole thing since I was doing something else:
Relating to some incident or another, the newscast showed an EBR while the announcer referred to it as a "Tactical Rifle" instead of an "Assault Rifle."
Is there a warning there for us?
Is this a new phenomenon?
Do we have a counter strategy/tactic?
Frankly, I'm tired of being merely reactive to this kind of stuff.
