I think people act scared because they are black.
You could take any gun and paint it blac kand some people would think its a assault gun. My cousin saw my shotgun and thought it was assault gun. it is just a synthetic stock mossberg.

No such thing as an assault rifle. It's a term made up in the media.

Because if it were white, they'd call it a hate crime rifle.

The Media controls the discussion. They have labeled anything black as "assault"....
I may go get Ms. Nimble an Assault Dress for the wedding we have to attend next month.

I'm thinking if someone can make the muzzle look like it has a smile on it, kinda like a Dolphin, then people will calm down regarding assault weapons.

AR stands for assault rifle NOT armalite. So says the organ of the state (media). They control the language, therefore, they control the conversation. However, shock troops do not use civilian-type semi-autos.

The term assault rifle is a translation of the German word Sturmgewehr (literally "storm rifle", "storm" as in "military attack"). The name was coined by Adolf Hitler[3] as a new name for the Maschinenpistole 43,[nb 1] subsequently known as the Sturmgewehr 44, the firearm generally considered the first assault rifle that served to popularise the concept and form the basis for today's modern assault rifles.
The translation assault rifle gradually became the common term for similar firearms sharing the same technical definition as the StG 44. In a strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:[4][5][6]
It must be an individual weapon with provision to fire from the shoulder (i.e. a buttstock);
It must be capable of selective fire;
It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle;
Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable magazine rather than a feed-belt.
And it should at least have a firing range of 300 meters (1000 feet)
Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are technically not assault rifles despite frequently being considered as such. For example, semi-automatic-only rifles like the AR-15 (which the M16 rifle is based on) that share parts or design characteristics with assault rifles are not assault rifles, as they are not capable of switching to automatic fire and thus are not selective fire capable. Belt-fed weapons or rifles with fixed magazines are likewise not assault rifles because they do not have detachable box magazines.
The term "assault rifle" is often more loosely used for commercial or political reasons to include other types of arms, particularly arms that fall under a strict definition of the battle rifle, or semi-automatic variant of military rifles such as AR-15s.
The US Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachinegun and rifle cartridges.

Even wooden stocks on a flat top AR with a cut down gas block would make is look more like a standard hunting rifle. Looks are everything in this political game. Since the ones with the powerful pen strokes don't have a clue what they are talking about and probably couldn't match half the names to the guns on the Feinstein ban list.
