Assault is an attempt or threat to do violence to another, with or without battery.
It pains me greatly to see firearms afficionados falling into the liberal media's word play trap. They are the people who copiously foist the false term "Assault Rifle" on the ignorant American public.
Assault has nothing to do with a weapon's physical profile or features on that weapon.
It has nothing to do with the function of a weapon.
You can assault someone using a rifle, the rifle itself is NOT doing the assaulting. So why is it called an "Assault Rifle"?
I believe the phrase "Assault Rifle" was coined to convey a maximum negative impact on an inanimate object. It makes no sense as the rifle is not commiting the act of assault, it's the person holding said rifle. The term "semi-auto rifle" simply does not convey enough of a sense of inherent evil intent with it's phrasing. What does the average firearm-ignorant citizen think of when the word "assault" is used? A violent criminal action, that's what. Assault is evil, assault is something some lowlife waste of skin does to an innocent victim. Assault is what an oppressor does to a weak person.
See where I'm going with this?
Every time one of us falls into the gun-grabber's word trap we are tainting the waters of public opinion with poison. As "Assault Rifle" becomes the commonly used term for any rifle that has a magazine, a pistol grip or foregrip, black furniture or fires a round at the pull of a trigger, the more a firearms ignorant public will associate it with evil and evil-doers. Which you and I ARE NOT!
Don't become what the Marxist's call "A useful idiot". They're after our guns and the more we help them by playing along with their word games, the sooner that day will come when you turn your firearms in or face imprisonment or maybe even death for the intolerable crime of firearms possession.
Don't you be "a useful idiot".
