So yeah "TECHNICALLY" there is an assault weapon because language exists in a bill. It never ceases to amaze me that law makers, even those with military records, have such a fucking frightening lack of knowledge when it comes to fire arms. The argument has not changed since the last time gun legislation was up so let's re-visit what the federal government classifies as an "Assault Weapon" and what it does not.
Here you have a ruegar and an AR-15. Both are identical except for color and the ruegar is missing a pistol grip. Both fire the same ammo, both have same mag capacity. Both are just as deadly. The ruegar is ok, the ar-15 is not.
It' superficial dumb ass shit like this that makes me smh. FFS paint the AR-15 pink already so washington can use it's time to do something productive instead of arguing about non-sense.
