    Armalite Rifle Assault Rifle is a bit clumsy. But people get so intensely hung up on the jargon because they’re angry the conversation is even happening.

    Guy with a locker full of guns shits the bed when his son goes on a murder spree, and then we all get an earful about how we don’t know enough about guns to understand why he was a reckless owner.
