I am not going to get into the gun debate here, BUT The people that know little to nothing about guns should do research on them before talking about them, and I dont mean learn from hollywood movies or the ignorant media.
An Assault weapon as defined by the US military (they should know what one is) is a medium caliber weapon that is capable of full automatic /select fire. NOT a semi auto.
A semi automatic AK-47 (as sold in the US)or AR-15 are NOT assault weapons, they are simply semi automatic rifles that "LOOK LIKE" military assault rifles. they do NOT function like military assault rifles, never have never will. They are no more deadly than any huinting rifle, and in fact the rounds fired by AKs and ARs are actually ballisticly inferior to any hunting round.
calling an AR or AK an assault weapon is like calling a car a racecar because someone installed a set of shiny wheels and a hood scoop
please educate yourselves on gun facts, not misinformation and assumptions.
And with that I am done with the subject,
