IMO, it does us no good to refer to guns as 'assault weapons' (a vague term that politicians can change the meaning of at will) or 'assault rifles' (a very specific type of fire arm). We need to call them what they are; an AR-15, a WASR-10 (not an AK 47 unless you are talking about a full auto gun). We also should not call 30 round magazines 'high capacity magazines' but we should refer to them as standard capacity magazines, as that is what most of them are.
When antis use these incorrect terms, they need to be called on them. Ask them to define an 'assault weapon,' or an 'assault rifle,' or a 'high capacity magazine.' This will help the people on the fence learn the facts rather than an anti 2nd amendment agenda.
Are there any terms I am leaving out that should be added to this list?
