I know what an assault weapon is do you?

What do you all think assault weapons are?
What it really defines is probably not what you think and want banned.

Hint the bill never mentions full auto.
Look up the gun control act of 1986

I try to make the Red Dawn argument when people tell me that no one needs assault weapons. But it turns out that people who don’t believe in the 2nd amendment also have not seen Red Dawn.

Would non-assault weapons be completely ineffective in a Red Dawn scenario if using guerrilla war tactics probably using snipers? Could people still accomplish some resistance even with Pump Action Shotguns, Scoped Rifles, or Revolvers?

Or if they have some successes, just seize enemy weapons if they're not simply given weapons by the government because of the impending invasion.

I think it's also worth considering that a gun culture relying more single action scoped rifles lead to a militia with better marksman and more intimidating and frustrating for the enemy.

I don't know exactly,

But I was hearing a lot of 'its a false term' so if it is a made-up false term, than how is it that it would have an actual definition?

Meh I would say military grade semi and fully automatic weapons, are not something that just anyone should be able to go buy. I say either join the military, or perhaps there could be a system for civilians to take proper training and be able to get a licence to shoot them. I don't 'not believe in the second amendment' I just don't believe it says 'every civilian is entitled to have whatever kind of gun they want, bring it wherever they want and the government is barred from making any regulations whatsoever regarding guns'

I mean I would really like to find a little middle ground on this issue from the different sides, but its really hard when so much as supporting better regulations, not even a gun ban gets you branded a second amendment hater.

I mean do you really think just anyone should be able to go buy any gun regardless of how powerful or destructive it is with no regulations?

"Assault weapon" is a made up propaganda term. It's like calling the inheritance tax the "death tax." Most "assault weapons" are just semi-auto rifles that look scary. It was also designed to cause confusion. E.g. people using assault rifle and "assault weapon" interchangeably.

Note: an assault rifle is selective-fire, meaning you can choose between semi- and full-auto (and sometimes three round burst).

However, Websters recently (and incorrectly) changed the definition of assault rifle to include a semi-auto rifle that looks like an assault rifle. This is clearly nonsense. Looking like something and being something are two different things. https://www.merriam-webster.com/diction ... lt%20rifle
