    M1 Garand Military Assault Rifle.

    Just watching the news in San Diego (KNSD Channel 7). The reporter was talking about two officers that got shot recently. He said the suspect used an "M1 Garand Military Assault Rifle". WOW?

    The media will call just about anything an assault riffle. I almost got into a full blown argument with my libtard sister about "assault rifles". She knew absolutely nothing about them but wants them banned. Go figure?

      if they think the Garand is an Assault Rifle what will they think of my son's 10/22

        I have a Marlin 60 .22 cal that holds 18 rounds, I guess these liberal-media types would consider that a assault weapon too!
        BTW - a really-really fun gun to shoot!

          Anything that is semi-auto can be an "assault weapon". Anything semi-auto that uses a detachable magazine or belt can be a semi-auto machine gun like the famous 1989 AK-15, that helped win public support for Roberti Roos.

            The Garand was the "assault rifle" of its day.

              "M1 Garand Military Assault Rifle".


              Isn't that a little redundant?

              Perhaps like saying "Chevy Corvette Sports Race Car"?

              Yeah... it does sound faster...Doesn't it?

                Good point. So was the Brown Bess musket.

                  And expect to hear Brown Bess Assault Rifle said on T.V. as soon as someone uses one against somebody.

                          Actually it was an MBR or Main Battle Rifle.

                              Did anyone email or call this silly *****?

                              I am sorry, but maligning the literal 'arm of freedom' is disgusting. I would feel the same way if she described the flag as toilet paper.

                              I can assume she is just totally ignorant and repeating what some cop told her. It might be nice to let her know she is wrong though.



                              Turns out it was a man. I see that now, I am sorry, but thats even worse. What do they teach kids in school these days. Please tell me the guy was at least under 30.
