Military style rifle.
Just heard it on the local liberal news channel, when talking about arresting the wife of the Orlando gay club shooter

No longer the term assault rifle...


The new angle. Only Military should have them.


I would crap my pants if the liberal media ever called an AR, a modern sporting rifle.

Well, if it has, I have not heard it much. Not as much as assault rifle.

Interesting, I haven't really followed anything about this other than it being a very tragic event in this country from a domestic terrorist.

The AR15 is a clone of the military assault rifle, and is called a semi auto assault rifle by the US government itself. Furthermore, having high capacity clips serve no sporting purpose. I hunt and own guns. I have a 12 ga., a 30/30 lever action, and am in the market now for a.40 cal semi auto pistol.

But why call it anything other than what it is? A military style rifle marketed to those who, as Bushmaster famously said, want to get their man card back.

What is a clip?

I hunt hogs, bobcats, coyotes and lions with mine. I wish it was full auto for the hogs!!!!, like my BAR and my Trench-broom are(too much firepower/not enough firepower for hogs)
