I am just reading another article where the left condemn this gun, and once again outright call the gun an assault rifle. Half of them think the AR stands for just that. They think banning assault rifles would ban the ar-15 and all rifles on the same level.
And it likely would as they would do so and apply names - but they would be incorrect.
I mentioned this many times before. I suppose it's all in how one defines an assault rifle, but the proper definition is:
as·sault ri·fle
noun
1.
a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use.

Over the past 20 years or so all of the dictionaries have slowly changed and added additional entries to include semi-auto weapons to the list. Like so much else, they just change the definition to meet whatever their needs are. :rolleyes:
