    It seems we lost the battle of political language around the nonsensical term. My firearms are "defense weapons". They've never assaulted anyone. I now see further degradation of terminology with the use of "assault weapon" and "assault rifle" interchangeably by the MSM.
    But an M-1 WAS an assault weapon .... 75-80 years ago. The soldiers assaulting Omaha and Juno Beaches utterly depended on it (well, it and the naval fire from 16-inch guns and aerial bombardments and ...).

    It was a weapon of war built for the battlefield, but doesn't fit the criteria of either an "assault weapon" or "assault rifle".

    ...but I think you knew that.
