Assault rifles don't exist but I see your point

They do though. They're select fire firearms. Assault weapons is the bullshit media bogey term.

I argue all weapons are and should be (called) assualt weapons. Liberals are dumb don't go by their nomenclature

An assault is an action, a weapon is an object. Unless the object is used in the action, it's a misnomer.

Hit a guy with a pipe? That is now an assault weapon. Have a second pipe that was never used? Not an assault weapon. It's just a pipe.

The assault is the crime, not the weapon. Calling all weapons crimes is just newspeak.

That's a good point to consider. Would you just call them semi automatic rifles?
