Please tell me you understand that an m16 and M4 are not AR15s. Pretty please tell me you understand that an AR15 has never been adopted by any military force anywhere. Please lie to me and tell me you understand the difference between automatic and semiautomatic.

Expert vs at least knowing some basics…. I’m not expecting everyone to understand why you should stake set screws on a gas block, or when you would prefer a stainless steel barrel to a chrome lined but if you are going to use the police power of the government to outlaw firearms then know some basics. Understand the difference between full and semi automatic. Know what laws are currently in place. Understand the process behind getting a firearm.
Congratulations on knowing gun stuff - I guess.
None of that has anything to do with my comment that saying there's no such thing as an 'assault rifle' is just taking yourself out of the conversation. Lawmakers will define the terms, including what an assault rifle legally is. And these lawmaker will not be experts on firearms.

Understand that there are currently 20,000,000 known AR15 style center fire rifles in the country and that you are far more likely to die from complications with the Covid jab than by semiautomatic rifle in the US.
That's as true and meaningless to the topic as saying that having a firearm in the house is far more likely to lead to an accidental injury than thwarting a home invasion.

Most libs pretend to know guns more than people who actually own and study them, like when they pretend to know the Bible more by erroneously quoting a Bible verse they googled as a gotcha to the other side.

How about "ARe you serious?"

I think he's just trying to remove a direct association. He also used to have a barrel in his logo.

This tangent is even more meaningless.

And hopefully it will completely unpack and end gun violence in this country!

I’m sure the families of the 16 dead kids in TX are super relieved to know it’s not actually an assault rifle.

Thanks for further proving it doesn’t matter what was used.

Maybe get some NIL from a gun co.
But those are gone now.

Thank you for protecting me from *checks notes* a third world country with no organized military presence so I can shitpost on tRant and eat chicken nuggies while playing Fortnite

Maybe your response would've been better addressing the same comment I did, then:

Personally, I don't think crying that there's no such thing as an assault rifle is tangential to the OP which stated, in part:
quote:
it is important to me that my name and brand are no longer associated with the assault rifle that has been used in mass shootings
People are using the term, there's a vague agreement on what it generally refers to, but more importantly, it will be defined in law by people who don't know much about guns. Therefore, crying about it not being a real term is pointless, and removes you from the discussion.

Sorry about that JROTC cadet fricking your girl. Time to get over it though, baw.

The phrase is something anti-gun people literally made up.
Actually...
The term, "assault rifle" is literally a translation of the German, "Sturmgewehr". Perhaps you're thinking of the term, "Assault weapon".
But beyond that, all of language is just stringing made up terms together. Look at all the "made up" words we've gotten in the last 30 years just from the Internet.
But also, it doesn't matter what you think is meaningful or meaningless, the term will be defined by law if they ever want to prohibit their popular use.
quote:
It's a tactical rifle.
Isn't that just another "made up" term? I mean, I don't think anyone was using that term back in the Napoleonic era. Somebody had to make it up along the way.
quote:
that fits their agenda.
Their agenda is to distract people away from the main issues through semantics. It seems to be working.
It's the functionality of what they're trying to control that's important, not whatever they end up calling it. That's true with most of what Congress passes. Look at the Patriot Act - there's absolutely nothing "patriotic" about that act. Look at the Affordable Care Act. For how many people did that act actually raise health care costs?
Keep your eye on the ball, don't be distracted by semantics.

Crying about it not being a real term is almost as stupid as the originally misapplied label to it.
The law can’t even keep you safe, so I don’t know why people say it’s a lawmakers job to keep people safe too. The people trying to do anything about the second amendment are the people that were talked about in the amendment anyway. I don’t really care what the government or lawmakers try to do or say about it because they’re the main reason that exists.

I don't think that shooting was real or any of them. In fact I can 100 percent prove the NZ shooting was fake. After he goes back to grab another AR and comes back in you see a manikin at point blank range. Has no head, no blood coming out and flat and smooth as a table top. Plus earlier he puts 4 rounds into a glass case from a foot away and doesn't make a scratch. And our media covered that as real. So no I don't trust any of the crap that is reported.

Then I am sure you care about the 50M law abiding citizens rights as delineated in the Constitution?
