By definition, ALL weapons are assault weapons. If someone uses a gun of any type to shoot someone, smack them in the head with the butt, or uses it in any other way that causes harm, that’s called assault.

As for kids? You EDUCATE THEM!!!!!! Teach them that bad AND good people have guns. Answer their questions honestly. And most importantly…never blame the actions of one person or specific weapon on the whole.

@Pinkstarburst Actually and assault rifle has a pretty specific definition and has for 80 years.

It is a rifle designed for assaulting fortified positions. They are select fire so infantry can lay down their own suppressive fire on the move.

And why is it when guns are involved we are supposed to pretend a massive problem spanning decades are all isolated incidents that happen in a vacuum.

@Pinkstarburst And what you said might as well be a sponsored post by the NRA.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That’s your opinion

@Pinkstarburst So is yours. And it is framed in a way to further a very specific political narrative.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I never mentioned any political sway. It’s my opinion. You disagree with what I said. That’s fine.

@Pinkstarburst You don't have to because your outlook is very much tailored to make sure the arms industry and the shootings continue forever.

It is not much different than the "thoughts and prayers" platitude.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Thank you for explaining my outlook to me.
