Strange you folks don't read your own literature.
I can put a T91 upper on an AR lower, doesn't make it an AR. There's a reason trigger manufacturers make triggers specific for the Sig.

Not an assault rifle unless it has a fun switch to burst or full auto.

Probably when the media was called out for claiming assault rifles.

Your post simply shows a sore loser. You are wrong on both the technical details and the accepted definition...but like many on the gun side you refuse to be honest and accept reality.

The "accepted definition" is wrong.

Since when does a bunch of anti-gun ignoramuses not doing their homework and getting the wrong idea about what an assault rifle is, make it "accepted" in any way?

It’s a ridiculous discussion, semi-auto is just as effective as full auto, call it whatever you want it’s just as deadly. The AR15 has been commonly used in many of these mass shootings, far from the only problem but why the concern over the definition.

Isn't it amazing what preposterous statements the anti-gun-rights liberals can come up with when desperately trying to defend their indefensible agenda?

So do tell what is preposterous other than your defense of the AR15.

At the first three, he found the places had armed guards, so he didn't stop, but drove away without harming anyone. Then he finally came to one that did not have armed guards. He stopped, got out, walked in, and shot five people.

How many of those people in Pittsburgh would be alive today if there had been guards?

Yes, it's sad that we seem to need armed guards in some places to safeguard our families, friends etc.

Does anybody have a better idea? One that works as well as this one did in Los Angeles in 1999?

Why the other of us pretends he still doesn't know that, remains a mystery.

The meaning of words is set by those who create the dictionaries. You do not get your own dictionary.

And why would you think a group of narrow minded supporters of gun supremacy gets to set the definitions used by the majority who do not agree?

And again check out the writings of NVplumber who is a strong gun proponent but who also explains honestly what actually happened.

Those are the anti-gun ignoramuses I was referring to in this case.

My questions stands.
