Keep in mind Assault weapon is a made up term by the gunophobes.  They can't use Assault Rifle because that basically is defined as a lightweight, select fire automatic rifle that fires an intermediate cartridge.
Not a veteran of the Vietnam era (proudly)

but

The term Assault weapons was not a “made up term by the gunphobes”

It was how the AR was marketed by the gun manufacturers

It was a **** up on their part

The gun grabbers took the label and ran with it

 
 

 
Why are you running..

On your magazines and book where exactly does it say assault weapon?  It sas Assault Rifle because what they are talking about is real military assault rifles.

The topic of this thread is not Assault Rifles.  It is semi automatic rifles which are not military.  And yes, anti gun nuts came up with the term assault weapon.

Here is what you said and what we responded to, moron:

You can apologize at any time now.
