      You may want to adjust your term “assault rifles” to “scary black rifles.”

      Assault rifles are a type of machine gun, to be an assault rifle it must have select fire, semi and full/burst.

      The second wasn’t drafted only for protection, but also for government oversight.

        Nobody outside of the USA gives a shit about the distinction.

          Most of us in the US also don’t give a shit about the gun pedants and their attempts to disrupt the conversation again like they always do

      The “sad” fact is that most people outside of the US don’t know the difference, because outside of perhaps a hunting store, or rarely seeing armed police in airports/during police incidents, most people have never seen a gun.
