Anyone can trick out their favorite deer rifle and to someone unformed it may have the appearance of a "sniper rifle" without actually being one.
If you're looking at an enemy combatant in the objective of your deer rifle, congratulations, it's a sniper rifle. That's a distinction based on utility rather than accessories, imv.

was it wrong to disarm people in the aftermath of Katrina?...did you see any video? this happened in N.O. and Saint Tammany these LEO's and their superiors enjoyed carrying out these orders...
nothing more arrogant and just plain wrong than someone feeling they have more right to open carry than a law abiding citizen just because they wear the badge...
My brother and some of my best friends are LEO's and they feel exactly opposite of you...they are truly constitutional minded individuals...
not everyone open carrying that has been confronted by a LEO was because of someones complaint...some feel the need to do it without such reason other than to be in control...there are those kind in every department...like I said...I'm glad my brother and my friends aren't in that category...
and as I said before...I think video stunts to pwn someone is stupid...
so I'll ask again...Are you an Oathkeeper?

The problem with the "assault" definition is that it is defined on appearance alone. Gun owners will tell you that anything can be an "assault weapon" if it is used as such. I would agree with your statement, but the law about "assault weapons" makes it strictly about aesthetic characteristics.

I have too but the subconscious mind is pretty powerful. It's hard to not let that happen at first glance.

The salient point about gun language is being missed. The left has changed the language and meaning of some words in order to change perception and win an argument. It's a pretty common tactic of theirs. Intentional or not, if people use the left's language, then they further that agenda.
The term "assault weapon" used in reference to semiautomatic rifles is intended to gin up fear and angst and muddy the waters of the less-informed mind. The left uses repitition to change the meaning of a word until the new meaning is taken for granted. If people don't care enough to use correct language, fine, but they should at least know why the wrong word comes to mind when discussing firearms.

Thank you olgoi. I tried to make that point earlier but apparently it went right over peoples heads in their fits of butthurt over someone correcting them.
It's not about if you don't want to have someone correct you on the terminology. You control what you call it. I don't. But if you refer to 'clips' and 'assault rifles' incorrectly with me, whether I correct you on it or not, you just made an impression with me that you can't get back. Chances are I'm not going to say shite unless I know you well enough to care that you know better. Or you're on the internet where I don't give a frick about your ever so tender ego.
The terminology was changed to group modern semi auto rifles into the military category by liberals and pushed by media propaganda in order to advance their agenda with people who see an AR and think it's an M-16. You using that terminology is exactly why they did that. They want that distinction blurred because MOST of the voting public are dumb as frick and you are helping keep them that way. Because to a layman, you're probably an expert.
Boo hoo you get mad when someone calls you out on it. Then don't say it around people who know the difference and why it's been changed. Because to us, you look like a wannabe who doesn't know the difference.

And I don't care what you do to it.
A model 70 is always going to be a hunting rifle.

THIS. An Ar-15 is not an assault rifle. An M-4 or M-16 IS an assault rifle because it is capable of fully automatic fire. The "Ar" in Ar-15 stands for Armalite which was the first company to manufacture the rifle that was designed by Eugene Stoner.

Exactly. There are people that think that an Ar-15 is a machinegun in part because the President and his like-minded ilk have actually said machinegun when talking about Aurora and Sandy Hook. It isn't. I pull the trigger once on an Ar-15, it only goes bang once.
Machineguns have been heavily regulated in this country since the National Firearms Act was passed in 1934.

my 22lr is an assault rifle if I hit you over the head with it, its just semantics created by the media to label and attack these rifles.

Exactly. I think it is funny that they always want to ban bayonet lugs and grenade launchers (already heavily regulated and not available without a Class 3 FFL) on "Assault Rifles" so that they aren't military style. When was the last time anyone was stabbed with bayonet or blown up by a grenade? These aren't even problems.
Posted on 6/6/13 at 10:09 am to LSUnowhas2
yeah, now you're making the point for the other team dumbass. no one gets blown up by granades, b/c they're highly regluated. all these mass shootings are done by semi-autos, which are unregulated. brilliant.
