Message: <blockquote data-quote="TCummings" data-source="post: 2051733" data-attributes="member: 20100">I wrote a response to the "assault weapons" wording.Senator Inhofe,I appreciate the response very much, but I feel that there is something that I must point out. While the media, and the leftists are out there calling these semi automatic rifles, " Assault Rifles", nothing can be farther from the truth, the military classifies an assault rifle as a rifle that is capable of select fire (fully automatic or 3-round burst). The fact is that they have been labeled assault rifles to elicit a response from people's emotions is down right ridiculous. Recently I have even heard them called "Weapons of War" because of course war brings to mind terrible atrocities and fighting, again this is far from the truth, these are not used by any military so therefore they are not weapons of war.I ask that you share this view with as many other Senators as you can, I feel that it is unfair that those of us who obey the law and even those of us who have served this country to protect our rights, are potentially going to be punished for the acts of very few. As you said these types of crimes do not happen often, yet the media acts as though they do and continually keep the news of such events in our faces all the time. Again thank you for the response, and your continued support of the Second Amendment.Travis Cummings</blockquote>
