[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2002599, member: 1132"] I take issue with it because it's a factually incorrect term in most cases, intentionally used to inflame emotions in order to predispose the target audience against their ownership. If someone says "[COLOR="#FF0000"]I think we should ban assault rifles[/COLOR]" and you responded "[COLOR="#0000FF"]So you want to ban select fire arms that've been tightly regulated since the National Firearms Act of 1934 and never been proven to be used in any crime for the past 78 years?[/COLOR]", they'd look at you like you were a 3 headed alien. They wouldn't have a clue as to what you were talking about, because they've been intentionally misled by the media and politicians for as long as they've been alive. THAT, is what I have a problem with. I own one assault rifle and several semi-auto, magazine fed rifles. None of them have ever been used in a crime and they present no danger to the law abiding public. Therefore, their ownership and use should not be regulated in order to appease someone else's emotionally driven fears. [/QUOTE]
