That's a much more serious development than a lot of people will understand.
whats their definition of "fully semi automatic"?......because im still not sure
So after years of gun owners stating that an AR-15 is not an assault rifle they actually went and changed the definition of the word to match their bullshit so that they could be right.
That's fucked up.
That's fucked up.
So many people keep saying (Looney)... These people know EXACTLY what they are doing

Changing the definition in one dictionary doesn't change anything legally, nor does it give the left any additional ammunition. All it does is prevent our side from using the bullshit argument that an AR-15 isn't equivalent to an M16 just because it's missing an extra hole in the lower.
So sure, they can officially say an assault rifle is the most popular weapon in the country. Woohoo.

Webster ? Thats the group under desks wearing knee pads, an will swallow for dollars ?
ummmm.....an ar15 isnt equivalent to an M16 for just that reason.......its not "bullshit"
the whole need for the argument is though.....because an M16 is no "deadlier" than any other rifle in existence.......and how restricting machine guns is not an infringment on the 2A i really dont know.

The point, Alex, is that anything plastered with "Webster" in this country is seen, in a lexicographical sense, as a tome of absolute reference, much like The New York Times is seen as a periodical of reference. What they print, what they aver in black and white, is considered unassailable fact, true or not.
Fucking truth.
The truth is what people will believe or want to believe. Facts and actual truth are irrelevant.
It’s actually far worse than that, in a “Post-Modernist” world, there IS no such thing AS TRUTH.
I think we're seeing this now because the Left has finally figured out that they can't hold out until the mid-terms; and that when the mid-terms arrive, it's all going to go the wrong way for them.
This is the signal move of their desperation.

Yes it is.
In 4 years as an 0311 the only time I ever used burst/full auto was to burn through ammo at the end of a range.
Trying to make the argument that an AR-15 isn't a combat weapon is disingenuous. I would have rather deployed with my personal rifle than the one I was issued.
In any event, we're debating over semantics. The left has been calling them assault rifles for over 20 years. This changes nothing.
Semantics, this is how they are demonizing an inanimate object to convice a bunch of low info voters to give up their rights. Fuck that. Every weapon can be a weapon of war. My 1911 is a weapon of war, that deer rifle you have, its a sniper rifle. That suppressed .22, or lever action rifle, have all been used in combat at one point or another. All weapons of war. You cannot let them control the dialogue.
Gasoline, Battery acid, Water, Co2, Paint, Shit on a Stick, Tree limbs, Rocks, Sling shots, Wire, Electricity, Cunts an Cocks, Knifes, Glass, should we go on?
...cell phones, computers, automobiles, boots, furnaces, piano wire, bricks, hatpins...next
the fuck is a "combat weapon"?........they are just "firearms".......they are weapons if they are used as weapons.
hell, my mosin nagant is more of a "combat weapon" than my AR is......at least thats actually seen combat.....aaaaaand been used as a weapon.
thats like saying my garage is full of "combat hammers".........its more of the same bullshit the antis throw out about "assault weapons".
Good God just stop.
An AR-15 is identical to an M4/M16 in every way but the extra hole in the lower. The M4 is what the overwhelming majority of our shooters carry into combat.
The 2A was designed to ensure the people were armed to the same level as the government. ARs are as close as most of us can afford to get to that.
Horseshit. What we're "allowed" to get to, not "afford," mind you, is whatever three-quarters worn out pre-'86 relic we can find. And that comes with a ton of paperwork and waiting that pretty much defines the concept of infringement. The Second Amendment was supposed to afford us arguable parity with at least the individual weapons of then-present and future militaries, not be legislated and court-decisioned to death by a bunch of Fifth fucking Columnists.
Alex, you really are starting to annoy the shit out of me.
Umm no shit? I'm pointing out the facts as they stand in the real world. Try it some time.
That's unfortunate. But so is having to ally with mouth breathers in order to protect what little rights I have left, yet here we are.
