Oh god, not this "IT'S NOT A CLIP IT'S A MAGAZINE" BS again.
It's weird how you only play this "You used the wrong terminology, therefore your opinion on this subject is invalid" game when it comes to guns, and not on, say, tax policy.
They are literally
"TWO DIFFERENT THINGS". If you want to discuss "tax policy" start a thread. But if Hoodie or anyone else is going to lie to push an agenda in this thread and imply that the general population owns
assault rifles. He is 100% wrong on that point and will be called out EVERY TIME.
Why do liberals and the media use fake made up political terms like assault weapon, ghost gun, or weapon of war? Could it be to just to insincerely strike fear into voters who are too ignorant to know the difference? To trick people into thinking an assault weapon(made up thing) is the same as and assault rifle(real thing). This is how fake news starts and spreads like wildfire. Ignorant people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
The real purpose liberals do this is to CONFLATE all firearms as being "weapons of war" and eliminate everyone's 2nd amendment right. In reality, the general population has access to
semi automatic firearms, NOT
assault rifles. The fact is that Ruger 10/22, Glock, or AR15 are all the same. None of them are more dangerous than the other.
If people are going to discuss a topic they should at least have a concept of what they're talking about and how it works. If not, they need to excuse themselves and educate themselves before continuing the conversation. Especially when they are 100% wrong. If I go to a mechanic to get my car fixed and he doesn't know the difference between the alternator and water pump. He gets laughed at and dismissed. This is the same thing. If you want to discuss facts, fine. If you want to talk about unicorns and leprechauns then start a different thread.
