This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greetings!

My "definition" is based on the HISTORICAL FACTS. The Germans invented the world's first true *Assault Rifle*. Just like the Germans developed the first Ballistic Missile (The V2 Ballistic Missile), the first Cruise Missile (The V1 Cruise Missile), and the first operational Jet fighter, (The ME 262).

Anti-gun, cum-guzzling SJW's do not get to define what an "Assault Weapon" is simply because REEE! It looks EVIL!

I know though, SJW's are all about the emotions, and never like to let FACTS and HISTORICAL TRUTH get in the way of their ideology or policies.

"Assault Weapons" is a term made up by politicians and the media as a blanket term for what they believe to be "Assault Rifles" based on if the weapon resembles a weapon used by the military, and otherwise looks "EVIL'.

The entire anti-gun industry and political machine is built on "Assault Weapon" hysteria and anti-gun propaganda. The vast majority of these people are Hoplophobes and Marxist tyrants that want an unarmed populace of helpless, obedient sheep.

The term *Hoplophobe* was coined many years ago by the great Colonel Cooper, who described such people as having an irrational fear and hatred of firearms, and by extension, an irrational hostility towards those that are firearms owners.

Politicians and the media constantly hold up AR-15's as *Assault Weapons". AR-15's, or any semi-automatic rifle in the world are not assault weapons. They are simply what they are--semi-automatic rifles. That uncomfortable fact doesn't mesh well with their fucking propaganda and anti-gun and tyrannical agenda though, because their goal is to get rid of the 2nd Amendment and disarm American citizens.

You're right about politicians making up the definitions (multiple, varying by location) of assault weapons. Those are legal definitions used by State and Federal authorities. Regardless of your feelings about how these definitions came about, you look like an idiot when you willfully conflate them with assault rifles (which they are not).

Anti gun politicians and anti-gun media "Journalists" use the terms interchangeably all the fucking time.

I KNOW that semi-automatic rifles are NOT ASSAULT RIFLES.

I even gave you a brief history lesson on where assault rifles come from, and when they were invented. Assault Rifles are defined legitimately as weapons that are capable of full auto fire. Semi-automatic rifles, by definition, are NOT ASSAULT RIFLES. The media and the anti-gun lobby and anti-gun politicians get those facts confused all the time--which isn't innocuous confusion--but purposeful conflation and propaganda.

So back in post #392, you knew the difference but purposefully conflated them then. You even said "SEMI AUTOMATCIC (sic) RIFLES ARE NOT ASSAULT WEAPONS" which is false, as many assault weapons are semi-automatic rifles (other assault weapons are semi-automatic pistols or shotguns). You then deliberately tried to throw the trail off by switching to discussing assault rifles (which are not, by definition, assault weapons).

HappyDaze, the term "Assault Weapon" is used throughout politicians and the media as being synonymous with *Assault Rifle". Beyond that, "Assault Weapon" is a phony, manufactured term used by politicians and bureaucrats to vilify gun and gun owners. I don't consider anti-gun politicians definition of "Assault Weapons" as in any way legitimate. It's all anti-gun BS and propaganda.

An Assault Rifle is, intrinsically, an assault weapon. There is only one legitimate definition. A Sturmgeveyr 44, an M-16A2, an AK-47 are all rifles. They are all capable of automatic fire, which makes them all generally assault weapons.

Hopefully, that makes sense to you now.

Geesus. Well, HappyDaze, you already seem to believe that I'm some kind of uber alt-right idiot. I have read the definition of Assault Weapon on Wikipedia, where it talks about the whole confusion of terms, and how they have been generally conflated. However, the distinction is purely a *political* definition, which has been manufactured by politicians and anti-gun activists, as I have said.

In a general sense, a technical and historical definition--which is what I intended--all assault rifles, submachine guns, machine pistols, and automatic shot guns are *Assault Weapons* with an automatic rifle obviously being an Assault Rifle. Notice the commonality. They are all weapons solely or capable of full automatic fire. That is what an Assault Weapon is. That is the definition I have always understood by fellow members of the military, by military veterans, by gun owners and firearms historians and other firearms experts.

The fucking politicians and anti-gun activists have come along and manufactured the term *Assault Weapons* and given them and the term an entirely different definition--that being a term referring to semi-automatic weapons that use high capacity magazines, have pistol grips, and otherwise look like evil military weapons.

As I alluded to previously, precisely fuck no, a semi-automatic rifle is not, and cannot be an ASSAULT WEAPON. I don't give a fuck what the politicians or their stupid tyrannical laws say or define it as. They are wrong.

So, yeah. Assault Rifles are Assault Weapons, though not all Assault Weapons are Assault Rifles. Some Assault Weapons are for example, submachine guns, machine pistols, and automatic shotguns. Such weapons are or may also be considered assault weapons, but they are not assault rifles because they are not intrinsically rifles.

And yeah, fuck anyone who believes that an Assault Weapon is a semi-automatic rifle. I know the fucking state of California believes that, just like all the cock-sucking anti-gun politicians and activists.

Fuck them, and fuck their goddamned phony, made-up definitions to words. Just like SJW's and other Marxist scum, they twist and shae entirely new definitions of words so they can make new laws and policies to fuck the American citizen and bring in tyranny and absolute state control.

So, just to be clear:

Nazis make up term "assault rifle" to describe an automatic rifle, and you're OK with that.

Not-Nazis make up term "assault weapon" to describe high-capacity semi-automatic firearms of various types with "military features" from a list, and you can't accept that.

It's like certain people have a vested interest in labeling firearms with scary names. Shocking!

And said people are entirely untrustworthy, as they will happily move on to trying to get rid of any other firearms.

But no, we're just being paranoid, that couldn't happen.

As somebody that's actually TAKEN a firearms safety course, I actually know the legal definition of what an assault weapon is (in Massachusetts), and its mainly manufactured bupkus.
Guess what? Silencers and under-barrel grenade launchers are illegal on their own. While an assault weapon might just need to have an attached flashlight and under grip to be considered an 'Assault' weapon.

Any weapon with the ability to reload itself with a mechanism and fire a single shot per press is a semi-automatic. Outside of revolvers because the mechanism isn't mechanical enough or something.
So a rifle that can fire 4 shots (more than 1 shot is 'high capacity') without reloading, has a flashlight and an under-grip is an 'Assault Weapon'.
It's a political invention made purely to muddy the waters.

Its like if jaywalking, arson, and loitering were called a new type of crime called 'MEGARAPE'.

I knew a woman who called any gun a "Murder Stick". I never understood that. It's not a stick, nor does it stick to things. A very queer thing to say. As far as classifying them as Assault Weapons, I've never seen a firearm get up and assault ANYONE. Obvious slander against a tool.

I agree that the U.S. assault weapon bans are dumb - especially because they're based on the look of the gun, and not on how deadly it actually is. I'm also opposed to red flag laws where courts can take away someone's right to guns even if they have not committed any crime. There are also a number of cumbersome piecemeal gun laws which make hassle for legal gun owners.

That said, there are some gun laws that I consider reasonable - like waiting periods, universal background checks, blocking access based on convicted crimes like domestic violence, required gun registration, and funding research into gun violence.
