Sorry buddy that garbage is not the truth ,they called them assault weapons because at the time it was a great sales promotion, till the heet came. then they just decided to bullshit us., and yes Nuts like people here that have threatened to kill me ,can own a machine gun, a tank, a piece of artillery, that would be a place to start.Thats crap that won't hold water, all assault weapons builders called them assault weapons , until the heat got to hot ,so they all got together and these dweebs decided a lie was betterThere is no such thing as an assault weapon or assault type weapon. That is an undefinable, bullshit political term meaning scary looking.By far the biggest mass shooting was done with a assault weapon. Of mass murders over 10 people most were killed by assault weapons. Many school shooting are done by assault type weapons
An assault rifle manufacures after 1986 is already banned. There have been NO shootings with an assault rifle.
Nope...anti gunners called them Assault weapons in order to play on the emotions of uninformed people.
Now...military weapons are weapons that have select fire, being able to fire both semi automatically and fully automatically....the AR-15 is a civilian rifle, and like all civilian rifles only fires semi automatically....
But the various Supreme Court decisions also support fully automatic weapons for civilian use.
