They aren't assault weapons hell my hands are assault weaponsBefore 1988 the push for gun control was against handguns but that went nowhere. Then comes Josh Sugarmann is the executive director and founder of the Violence Policy Center
“
Assault weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons --anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun-- can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.
There's no such thing as a semi-automatic assault weapon, stop using their vernacular.
.
What do you want to call them??
So why do you need a semi automatic rifle?
