The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[Mr Earl]

Assaut rifle has a pistol grip and a magazine. The fella claiming it's a made up word needs to get his facts straight. The left is guilty of a multitude of sins but thats not one of them.

The term "assault weapon" came into existence around 1990. Coined by politicians.
The military never used the terminology.
"Assault Rifle" is something more recent the ignorant media tosses around recklessly to stir up negative emotions.

Before 1990 we had "selective fire" and "semi-auto" weapons, no assault weapons.

Every time there's a mass shooting tragedy the gun-grabbers seize the opportunity to promote new firearms laws before the bodies are even cold.

The latest tactic from the horrible FL school shooting, is to blame the NRA for the shooting. When in fact it was negligence of the school, local law enforcement and the FBI which were major contributors to the problem exploding as it did.
They knew about that shooter kid long before it happened.
