Why do the constitutional, true Americans of the Right allow the left to demonize and humiliate them? When and where did the term “assault weapon” come to be? It appears that it started quite a while ago by Hitler speaking about his new gun design that he liked so much he called it “sturmgewehr,” or “Storm rifle.” This morphed over the years to assault rifle in military jargon but was never a term used by civilians.
The term is used by the military for training in assault situations. Hence the weapons are intended for assault.
But in the hands of the civilian population whose gun ownership purpose is for sport shooting, hunting, or defense, it is a protection rifle, not a weapon. Referring to civilian rifles (automatic or not) as assault weapons is improper usage of the word “assault”.
Calling gun owners’ protection guns “weapons for assault” infers civilian intent to assault someone. This is an insane idea propagated by the LSM and anti-gun advocates to propagate fear-mongering. Calling peace-loving protectors an assault threat is an assault on us personally. It ever sounds scary to me!
People keep asking why civilians need assault-style weapons. This truly is a moot irrational question. The term “protection” infers resistance to assault or harm. If people are going to attempt to assault you with assault-style weapons…your anti-assault protection plan better be able to stand up against the assault weapons of the enemy or criminal.
In short… fight fire with fire. The civilian population needs to be just as well-armed as anyone else, be it against criminals or an invasion force.
I have guns for protection and hunting. I have a protection anti-assault rifle, not an assault weapon that I want to use to assault people with.
Please gun owners…stop letting the left demonize you as a traitor and a threat because you are willing to keep protection guns and rifles at the ready to protect life and liberty and to enforce the peace.

As a Veteran We did not call our Rifles Guns ( A Gun was in our pants) for pleasure, it was called our weapon for Killing the enemy. They have Tagged the word “Assault” to weapons to Demonize it to their view, advantage, agenda to Scare people as usual. They are guns / weapons for Protection or hunting. BUT the Liberal nitwits / dimwits know how to use words to Scare people, they use the “Scare Tactic” for any and ALL purposes because they know how to play on peoples Emotions not their common sense (IF they have any). LEAVE our Guns & Weapons ALONE you Liberal Cowards.
OH THESE LIBERAL COWARDS HAVE THERE ASSAULT WEAPONS HID..LOL
This is my rifle, this is my gun, one is for fighting and one is for fun. As I recall the navy and marines called it a piece!
Our right to “keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” What part of the God-given Second Amendment does Obozo and his commie friends not understand? It is simple and clear.
I think it is horrible to apply military jargon to civilians. Assault weapons were originally made for the military but did work their way into the public by way of the usual means…black market. I had one once. The manufactures produce “modified” rifles for civilian use. These rifles were produced for protection not for war. The claim was hunting only. But hunting rifles became weapons when called upon. What was there choices? There were none when a treat or invading army approaches. Today there are choices for specific gun tool uses sport, hunting and protection. Because a man buys a made for civilian use protection rifle does not make it an assault weapon. I think guns of protection are needed just as much if not more so than ever. Education is sorely needed for the public to understand that guns cannot stop all crime but I don’t want to see what it will be like without them.
Sure they’re assault rifles. They’re used to assault tyrants and protect our freedom per the Second Amendment. Use them or lose them. http://elect.ErnestHuberForCongress.com/
Ernest: Thanks for not helping..
Thats why we call them “HOMELAND DEFENSE TOOLS”!!!!
The VERY LEAST you could have done Jimmy is to put “BLAME for the handle “assault weapon” squarely where it belongs. On the shoulders of that PI$$ ANT anti gun author/liberal Josh Sugarmann. His literary work is TRASH. Judgement was made strictly by APPEARANCE. Not by expertise.

The ONLY reason Obama wants guns off the street is cause he’s afraid he will be shot by one. Why didnt he start this when he was a freshman senator… but now that he is out in the public, he’s afraid he will be pinged off like Kennedy was… thus the LIFETIME Secret Service Protection…. he wants to be covered at all times… Let’s call him the COWARD !!! He knows he’s the most hated president ever to grace the White House steps, so he’s gonna make sure he’s not in any one’s gun sight. So he added the one Past President he hated the most… Geo Bush… ONLY cause it wouldnt look like he wanted this for HIMSELF. Joker of all Trades…
YES. Oblammer holds many Titles, Coward is for sure right up there at the Top of the List.
The reason the left gets away with all the EVIL things that they do is the Broadcast News Media has become Obama’s Propaganda Ministry. This is exactly what Adolph Hitler did with Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels controlled all of the Media and was very strong Orator that could influence easily swayed people; especially the Low Information and Low Intelligence Mobs, just like Obama.
Exactly, the Manure Spreading Commie channels fall all over themselves to paint a picture of how Grand this Evil man is, and I agree it is all about Mind control if you keep telling people with no common sense and feeding them a diet of Disinformation to Distract them then they can control them.
