Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dukester" data-source="post: 2087323" data-attributes="member: 24607">I am frequently having to explain to people that the gun grabber's definition of an assault gun/weapon is based on a combination of dishonesty and ignorance. I then typically will give them the definition of an true assault rifle (even though its a made up term) as I know it. You know, the whole fully automatic and needing a class III license and all that. I then go on to explain that the term high capacity magazine is a relative term that cannot actually be defined as different firearms use magazines of different capacities by design, so a magazine might be a high capacity for one gun while being standard capacity for another. I've done this till I was blue in the face and then went so far as to write about it on my blog, with varying degrees of success. I never think of skipping the whole process because I think it's important that we all do what we can to put the truth out there. I imagine there are quite a few people on OSA who do the same thing.So what really irks me to no end is the fact that after going through this process time and again, I can go on ARMSLIST and see some jackhole selling and AR or an AK and advertising it as an assault rifle that comes with high capacity mags. AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! It's kind of hard to tell people that the term assault rifles was coined by anti gun people and has no real place in the firearm vernacular if people that should know better keep giving it a place in the firearm vernacular. The same goes for high capacity magazines. So basically when a grabber wants to discount everything that I've said they have but to visit ARMSLIST and see that even gun owners call them assault rifles and high capacity magazines. Am I the only one that sees it this way?</blockquote>
