The gunnies and their antagonists have a significant problem with the term "assault rifle"

Basically the antis believe that there is some fearsome thing called an assault rifle that is threatening their lifes and those of their kids.

The gunnies point out the antis simplly don't know what they are talking about and that these weapons are not really assault rifles.

So to avoid the resulting communication blockage a new term...HKR - Human Killing Rifles.

This is that set of firearms that have little legitimate purpose other than killing people.

Now we can talk about how to deal with such weapons without offending the gunnies by misuse of assault rifles while specifying the weapons that the antis believe have no useful purpose other than killing people.

So what is a lagitamit purpose?

These hkr's don't really seem to work very well, seeing as the vast majority of murders are done with handguns.

"Shall not be infringed" end of argument.

Why are the anti-gunnies making such a big deal of the latest shooting that involved handguns only? It appears to me the anti-gunnies are interested in banning more than just rifles by whatever name you wish to call them. The cat is once again out of the bag..the anti-gunnies wish to ban all guns.

Maybe we should change the new term to HKW - Human Killing Weapons?

Nah I would think we should stick to long guns for the moment. We might confuse everybody if the term gets too wide.

Maybe the OP meant gunnery sergeant, which is a USMC rank.

Gunnery sergeants are called "gunny".
