The Terminology Of The "Assault" Rifle

What do YOU think it was designed for?

1st and foremost, making money....any idea what kind of money was made from it being chosen for the military?

Offering a semi-automatic version to the public was definitely secondary to that smile

To answer your original point about what would you choose if not an AR15 .223/5.56 if one was tasked with killing as many people as possible. An AR10 in 6.5 Creedmore with an 18" barrel. Considerably more power without much difference in recoil. I have both and the 6.5 Creedmore is quite a bit more capable and it, like the AR15 is readily available.

The latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population.....

Hey, it makes as much sense as 75% of your posts smile

No? They are political and about Jan 6th?? Thanks for helping the working families deal with what is destroying their budgets, Dems! We should buy electric cars and trucks and wave as we drive by the gas stations?

Not bothering with watching the hearings.....no doubt there will be plenty of sound bites floating around lol

Yep.... a thirty caliber bullet certainly makes a pronounced difference over a 22 caliber..... Have seen some 50 caliber tests that frightening......

I wasted a lot of time watching the hyperbolic partisan impeachment that ultimately was a big nothing burger.....This one is no different.

This is hyperbolic bullshit, the left is scared to death Trump will run and win again so much like the impeachment hearings they will desperately trot out as much BS as possible......

No one should be surprised that the FBI investigated him and his campaign after their careless actions regarding interactions with Russian officials before, during, and after the 2016 election. I will not get sucked into another protracted back-and-forth about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. It's ancient history at this point.


Now see, I dont blame you a bit for not wanting to revisit that Crossfire farce which turned out to be a nothing burger.....You will be saying the same thing about this current attempt to paint Trump with Jan 6th in a year or 2.....

We do however agree on one thing.....Trump is his own worst enemy. I said that from the beginning.

Trump betrayed us all often and egregiously, and history will judge him accordingly.

Many people saw what Trump said at the protest/rally aka insurrection lol......Nothing about it said go be violent in fact just the opposite yet you still claim he incited it. We get it, you are entitled to say whatever you like but unless actual evidence is presented and it hasnt been it is just more BS much like 90% of it was during the impeachment. At this point it is little more than desperation on the left's part to keep Trump from running again.
