I see your point, I really do. However, nomencalture certainly matters to the masses of people that the government depends on for support to suspend the 2nd.
I can't tell you how many times i've educated someone on the difference between your standard semi-auto hunting rifle and the evil AR-15.
You obviously didn't fall for it. But for us, attacking nomenclature is an easy way to educate those who have no idea what a real assault rifle is.

I'm just afraid that the masses you are trying to reach won't respond well to the approach of "There's no such thing as an 'assault weapon', that's a made up term.", and the people who would respond positively to it, well, you would've had them anyway.
That's been my experience, your results may vary. I've just decided to dumb it all the way down to, "Hey man, I don't care what you call it, just don't ban my shite."
Good post, thanks.

Yeah because it's so clear. When a .22 can be called an assault rifle there is something wrong with the definition.
The very reason any rifle was labeled as an assault rifle is to make is scary to the public and turn public opinion against it. No one would go out with a .22 planning or defending themselves or to murder someone with it.
After the ban yes you could buy used guns pre-ban but you could not buy a new banned gun or magazines. If you don't think the government is not out to ban "assault" rifles just look at New York.
