Hi Kid,
I'm not gonna ask what you're doing up so early. I wish that I wasn't.
I've been using "assault-type" weapons all along to avoid terminology debates when that's not the real issue. I've seen enough of that shit from both sides of the fence in the press.
"Assault" weapons is what I'm mostly seeing used in the press and by those advocating stricter gun control.
"Semi-Automatic" is what I'm sometimes seeing in the press and by those against stricter gun control.
"Assault-type" is what you're reading by a poster who doesn't think the terminology should be a means by which to divert the issues, but is recognizable as a semi-automatic weapon referred to as an assault weapon in the press.
And, yes, I know that Automatic weapons are banned.
I'm no expert on guns. So, if you wanna give me your input, Kid, I'm all ears.
