The AR15, usually black and always ugly, is leading in all the polls that measure assaultiveness. Hans isn't buying, and neither is our mutual MSM pal Dave who raised the subject on Facebook. Each has had it up to >here<
They agree, as do most of us, that assaultiveness is a matter of purpose, not tools. Which is to say that my Remington 514 becomes an assault rifle the moment I get to feeling a little assaultory.
Hans modestly suggests that the nomenclature problem goes away with good intent-recognition software. A guy could legally run around with an AR15 (or Bazooka or tactical nuke) as long as the program cleared him of assaultitarian motives.
Course, the system would have to incorporate an active RF transmitter and be permanently attached to the toter. No problem these days. His Ineptness just executively orders the chips implanted in our innards. You know, like they do on Guernseys and Lhasa Apsos.

"Assault weapon" is a tautology anyway.
A weapon is something that is used to assault someone. It's like saying "house home" or "automobile car".
So, in addition to other things we have 514s in common, eh?
It's the 'progressive' term of the moment. It's convenient.
Not unlike Saturday Night Special in days of yore.
It sounds mean and ugly.
Nasty ol' guns...

Now, folks, let's be fair and accurate about this. The "assualt weapon" ban list must include longbows, catapults, grappling hooks, rocks, clubs w/spikes, and hundreds of other items developed down through the ages. JAGSC
The true "assault weapons" in the country are members of Congress and administrations past, present and future, who rip the Constitution to shreds.
