"Assault Rifles" Gone For Good?

[Area 52]

Perhaps we should stop calling them assault rifles first, since they're not really assault rifles. The whole reason why politicians are able to pass such crappy legislation is because they are more able to get public support if they use misnomers like "assault rifles" to confuse the public.

I came to post this very message. Actual assault rifles have been de facto banned nationwide to those unable to scrape up $20,000 since the registration closed in 1986. If Calguns members don't even know an assault rifle from a semiautomatic modern sporting rifle, how do we expect John Q. Public to ever understand exactly why these bans are a trampling of their rights.

Ca is a cesspool controlled by IDIOTS corrupt public unions.

Google "context". The state of California calls them "assault rifles". The public isn't confused, they simply vote Democrat.

See above.

Democrat or Republican, the problem is leftist progressives. Californians have more issues than losing gun rights; banning guns is symptom of the progressive parasites. Until the voters figure out that they need to elect people who put the Constitution first, not by the letter that is associated with their name.

That said, many of those who would support such an idea have wised up and move their assets, businesses, and families to states that have significantly more freedoms.

Did anyone say,"gone, like the dodo bird"?

Gun rights and liberal majorities aren't compatible with each other and the political growth trajectory for the future looks like more liberal politicians.

Our only hope is in the courts.

Has the sun set on the ownership of proper assault rifles in CA? Will the day come when we can legally purchase an in-tact AK or AR without all stupid the obstructions or puny 10-rounders in this state?

My intuition tells me no, unless of course the composition of our legislature is significantly altered. Still, I hate to vote "conservative" solely on the arms issue.

Any thoughts?

That is not the only reason to vote out the current azzhats.

Some were just born to late to have enjoyed freedom as it once was..

^^This. The domestication process is already complete for too many.

"Assault Rifles" by definition are "select-fire" and been regulated since 1934.

Do you mean the totally made up and ambiguous "Assault Weapons" definition that the Legislature adds at will more and more firearms to, such as last year trying to add all semi-automatic pistols and rifles, centerfire and rimfire, trying to make a Ruger 10/22 a defined "Assault Weapon"

"Progressive Parasites" is a harsh characterization. If you vote for candidates based solely on political affiliation, you are nothing more than a gang-member. I'm looking forward to voting conservative, if only the GOP would stop nominating a clown car full of bozos.

A lot of contentious responses taking issue with semantics. "Semi-Automatic Sport Rifles" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

If "assault rifle" was a characterization that was engineered to carry a negative connotation, surely you must acknowledge that "sport rifle" is also the product of a different agenda.
