Those Nasty 'Assault Weapons'
“Assault weapon” is a meaningless term designed by people like Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who would prefer to ban all or most firearms, specifically to confuse the public.
Recently, President Obama said on “Meet the Press” that he would work hard on banning “assault weapons” and what he calls “high-capacity magazines.”
Of course, definitions were in short supply. So what is an “assault weapon”? Quite simply, it’s whatever the government says it is. Does that shock you?
