Interesting 2A throwback clip.




This woman actually understands firearms. I wish the media had half of her understanding of firearms.

why should people avoid the terms assault? just a name. No one makes psa's about calling ak's choppers or heaters. If someone says i gotta strap, no one is like thats not the correct term it's a pistol. This is Political nonsense, correcting people's gun lingo is not changing anything about the gun control debate. Call it whatever you want those people are still gonna call for gun control.

Because it is factually incorrect and is used by the media to provoke an emotional response.

The media can describe a shooting incident or a weapon without having to throw in these hyperbolic terms to spice things up. The media harms it's own credibility because it is intentionally misinforming people!

Now the AP is even recognizing the foolishness. See that video above that I posted with the lady talking about "assault weapons" bans.

Who cares if it provokes an emotional response? People are gonna be emotional about life and death regardless. People are only drawing attention to these semantics because they think it will help their side of the debate but it won't. It's boring.
