That term was made up in the 1960’s by the News Industry to
describe jungle fighting during the Vietnam Conflict. It didn’t get notoriety
until the 1980’s when Ronald Reagan and the Democrats wanted to gut the 2nd
Amendment for the powers be.
The term “Assault Weapon” is nothing more than a slang used
to describe modern rifles that cosmetically look nothing like traditional guns
made before the Cold War.
If you were to ask anyone off the street to describe what an
“Assault Weapon” or “Assault Rifle” is, they would only parrot what the U.S.
Mainstream had told them about it.
But if you check what the military defines as such, you’ll
notice that it is not what everyone was conditioned to believe. As what their
manual says “a weapon or gun that can shoot on select fire” or in layman’s
terms actual machine guns.
Most average people can’t buy actual machine guns under the
1934 National Firearms Act (NFA) as that is an actual machine gun ban. It’s
further expanded upon with the NRA endorsed 1968 Gun Control Act, and the Hughes
Amendment of the 1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act, on top of everything else
in-between.
The majority of modern rifles on the market are single shot
only (Semi-auto), therefore making everything the powers be claim about “Assault
Weapons” null and void.
So the next time the government and their interest groups
like “Moms Demand Action” tell you that no one needs “Assault Weapons” or “Assault
Rifles” tell them to “BACK OFF!”
Because your Right to own and purchase any weapon doesn’t
change regardless of how much technology progresses.
Rights! are Rights! Regardless of what time the people live
in!
It is up to you The People to stand up and defend it against those who want to
take it all away.
