[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 732556, member: 39764"] Greyfox, I agree without question. I believe it's not just about AR platforms, but [U]all[/U] assault type platforms. It would have been much more palatable (in the eyes of the public at least) to not call that particular type of rifle an assault rifle. Just the word assault conjures up less than wholesome thoughts in the eye of the public, in general.... The other issue is that there is a whole contingent of not only politically motivated individuals and groups out there that want to not only eliminate or severely curtail the assault type rifle, but eliminate or curtail the right of firearm ownership, no matter what type of firearm it is and really don't care about the Second Amendment or how it applies to the right to bear arms. If they triumph in the end, forums like this will no longer exist, th sport we enjoy will no longer exist because there won't be any firearms legally (I say legal possession, not illegal) possessed by law biding citizens. While I don't agree with every stand the NRA takes and I don't appreciate the constant pandering for donations, th NRA is still th best and most vocal opponent of the constant push to remove firearms from public possession. Of course we can thank the media for whats transpired. They are the venue that sensationalizes the 'assault' type rifle. Me, I'd like to remove the word 'assault' from the description, entirely.
