They will just ban semi automatic long guns. Haven't folks read some of the proposed legislation? You can run around saying 'assault' isn't this or that all you want. You are useless in the real battle. As far as people going to the range, the spray and pray semi shooters are just PR for banners.
I just shake my head at the useless semantic picky arguments that occur in the choir and have no meaning in the actual legislative behavior. If you followed the literature on the original AWB, it was pointed out that the problem was semi auto guns that the original ban didn't cover and the existing stock. This was presented by DOJ sponsored research to conferences such as the American Society for Criminology in the mid 2000s.
While politicians use assault for PR and mention clips (and you guys get all excited as if correcting that will change the metric), the laws will take out all semi auto guns. If you pay attention the media has switched to military style semi auto rifles. They heard the message. So the usage is correct. Have the ban advocates given up. NO.
You are wasting your time if you think the term makes a difference. I pointed that out quite clearly and I only can conclude that you are being deliberately obtuse as you want to bluster.
As far as no compromise, I REFUSE - that's a way to end up on a hill in the Philippines REFUSING to acknowledge WWII is over. You'd better see if that some legislation is unstoppable, there are ways to mitigate the effects and/or gain something. Of course, on the Internet, you can posture all you want.
