"Assault Weapons"

As most of you know "Assault Weapons" have found their way into mass media. Many people believe the media and agree with the term assault weapon. I consider myself a firearm kind of guy, and by no means am I a firearms connoisseur. However I'm going to give you all my two cents on the left wing media.

Let's start off with a few definitions. (Definitions by Google)

   "nuclear weapons"

I'm going to talk about a firearm that the mass media likes to classify as an assault weapon, the AR-15. The AR-15 is a modern rifle that has various uses such as competition shooting, hunting, recreation, home defense and even law enforcement purposes. This firearm can have a magazine capacity of 10, 20, 30, 50, or any capacity a manufacture decides to make for it. The only model civilians are allowed to own within reason, is the semi-automatic version which means only one round can be fired per trigger pull. I'm not trying to focus much on the gun in particular, my focus is on mass media and left wing idiots. 

Some uses an object to inflict bodily harm or physical damage it is a weapon as defined above. If someone makes a physical attack on some one it is called an assault whether or not a firearm or weapon was used. So yes, someone uses a tool or item to attack and cause physical harm or damage to another person, that tool should be called an assault weapon. But by default the left wing and news media calls the AR-15 an assault weapon. If the AR-15 is not used in an attack or used to cause harm or damage it should merely be called a modern sporting rifle. 

Last week in Western Pennsylvania a young man stabbed and sliced a hand full of students in a school, but why didn't the media classify that knife as an assault weapon? Why because pretty much any object known to man would be an assault weapon. If you use a fork to attack and cause harm to a person it should be called an assault weapon. 

People hurt people, not firearms. Firearms are not, by default, weapons.

I'm going to leave you all with one thing.  A stabbing happens, blame the stabber. A drunk driver kills a pedestrian, blame the driver. A bombing happens, blame the bomber. A shooting happens, blame the gun?

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
