And then you guys keep going with this assault rifle crap.
Incorrect use of the term by the media has you guys calling rifles by the wrong terms, and you guys seem to have great difficulty accepting this.

again, as i stated previously, in my haste to complete my post linking the op to SEMI-auto rifles, i wrote "assault" instead of "semi-auto" introducing a link to SEMI-auto weapons.
but more importantly, if the general populace is not knowledgeable about guns (many of whom have never even held a gun), as a gun nut, the onus is on you to get people on your page, lest you end up losing your guns to anti-gun nuts who lump them in with automatic weapons, not getting uppity about it. that only makes you look like a gun nut.
