    Please keep consolidated threads consolidated

    Threads like the Second Amendment/Assault Rifle/Gun Control thread keep branching off.

    Why is the Second Amendment an issue? Gun Control.
    Why does anyone discuss what an assault rifle is? Gun Control.
    Where is there already a thread for this? Right, the Gun Control one.

    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Eeehh.. I wouldn't say firearms discussion of type and mark would be 'Gun Control'.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Superficially true, but there is only one point to the discussion of what assault rifles/weapons are. That is a phrase used to when discussing potential bans. Bans on a type of firearm ... gun control. It isn't up past 20 pages trying to figure out if the defining element is a bayonet lug. First sentence of OP:

    The post, by the first sentence of the post, is there to discuss an element of a ban.
