Even in this context let's not use that word. Assault weapon is a garbage term. I'm not trying to rag on you, but I can't believe how ignorant the American population is about guns. We have a 2nd Amendment yet even conservatives I meet day to day would be to afraid to even hold a gun let alone know correct terminologies.

When I hear ban assault weapons I know that whoever is saying this shouldn't be talking about it in the first place. And no offense to Trump if that is a direct quote. But it is a MSM phrase. I can assault you with any "weapon" and it would then become an assault weapon. Rifles/guns are categorized completely differently than MSM would have the sheeps believe.

I bet most people think fully automatic rifle when they hear "assault weapon/rifle"... It is a tactic they used to brainwash us. You would have to ban anything with lethal capabilities using terminology like that. I can assault someone with a shoe and it would be an assault weapon.
