No, BANNING weapons is infringing on the 2nd Amendment.

Apparently you are having a VERY difficult time distinguishing between substance and abstractions.

If we all embraced the term 'assault weapon' just as the shop owner has, and successfully fought against every attempt to ban any sort of currently legal firearm/weapon/weapon system/feature/function, what affect would the term 'assault weapon' have on gun ownership in the US?

None.

That's my point. We could just as easily embrace the term and fight against restrictions as cry over nomenclature - and we would be more effective.

I'm sorry you can't seem to see this.

Any further discussion on the topic would be ridiculous at this point. For two people who have the same fundamental belief to spend this much time quibbling over such an arcane point is already absurd.
