"Assault weapon"
I was looking into a Saiga shotgun and saw a couple described as "assault weapon." I wrote the guy and told him that I was looking for one but would not buy one from someone who misrepresented a semi auto shotgun as such, then went on to ask if he was supporting the repeal of the 2nd amendment.
I did a search for "assault weapon/rifle" and was pleased to find that few sellers were using that term. It is unfortunate that GB can't filter this term out in the case of semi auto firearms listings.

I really cannot figure out why people still use that term.......
Unless they are describing an ACTUAL select fire, full auto etc.. "assualt weapon"0 -
I got an email back from them. A bunch of gibberish about a 1763 Charleville musket being an assault weapon. I reminded her that the term was a rallying point for the Brady group and other anti-2A activists. 0 -
I whonked me brother over the head with a rabbit three times yesterday. That make him(or her) an assault weapon? 0 -
Thats nothing.
I was searching Hawaii gun laws and they have semi auto pistols listed as Assault Pistols in their state law.[xx(]0 -
Those terms play well with the uneducated emotional crowd. Cop Killer Bullets, Black Rifles, etc.
Most city, state officials have little knowledge of firearms and the media theme names are picked up quickly and printed as fact. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.[:(]0 -
OK, I just don't see the point of helping the gun grabbers out. 0 -
I agree with you MVP. Assault is an action. A pencil can be an "Assault Weapon". 0 -
I correct my in-laws everyday about that term...and they are pro-gun. They've just heard it so much they repeat it now!!! 0
