What is a Assault Gun?

Is it a firearm that jumps out at You when Your not looking? Is it a firearm thatwalks around on its own and shoots people without a human being pulling the trigger? Someone please tell me how a firearm assualts anything. In My 30 years of firearm experience I have never been assualted by one these visious 'Assualt Weapons" everybody keeps talkin about. Get a life people and and quit blaming guns for actions of idiot humans! Baseball bats, pocket knives, cars, blenders and even skilets are assualt weapons and none of them can be fired.

    Assault rifle??? No such thing. It is a buzz word of anti-2nd. Amendment politicians to condemn semi-automatic hunting/sporting rifles.

    Our Nation is unique in having a 2nd. Amendment that guareentees the People the right to self defense against those with murderous intent and against dictator wannabes. Anyone who would destroy your 2nd. Amendment rights is an enemy in spite of any good intentions that he or she may profess.

    Be careful how you vote.

    In Truth any Firearm used to assault any person is considered an Assault Gun.* Think about it, because that is what you are doing, assaulting another human being or person with it.* Politics and Pro-Gun Control aside that is an accurate description of any Gun.* The same can be said for any other thing that is used to assault a person.*> Knife, Baseball Bat etc.. It is what it is, and if used properly would not be considered an assault Gun.*

  • Assault weapon is the term used to sell more news print and local television time. It is also a term used by the Biased National Media to score points with their favorite Liberal 'Puritanical' political figure. You know the guys, or gals. They appear on national media events as pure and caring 'leaders'. Then they are usually found out to be money grabbing, whore chasing, drunking self serving twits....But I may be wrong...

    The term assault weapon is just a catch all phrase coined by the ignorant news media, and anti gunners to demonize all guns. Semi-auto military style weapons are no more dangerous than a bolt action hunting rifle, or a .22 rifle.They all can kill you.

    The Sturmgeschutz III was one of the most prevalent armored fighting vehicles of the Wehrmacht in WW II.

    In terms of the Orwellian Newspeak of the anti-gun zealots, I agree with you completely, but 1984 has come and gone. The political extremists are going to save your rights by taking them away.

    ^What he said.

    Although the term got its official start by Adolf Hitler, describing the selective fire Sturmgewher 44...its morphed into nothing more than a political scare tactic.

    Semi-automatics were never "assault rifles" until liberals wanted their bans passed, and still do in the form of HR1022...the perfect reason not to vote for a liberal no matter the circumstance!

    Just another term used by liberals for fear mongering.
