    have they nailed down a definition for "assault weapon" yet?
    or are they just going with "black and scary" still?
    like how they classify protests vs riots

      The lack of a solid definition and the ensuing ability for law enforcement to arbitrarily enforce the law depending on how they feel that day is a feature, not a bug. Though I will say that one of the very few things chuds tend to be correct about in the typical American discourse is that liberal politicians that implement gun control know absolutely nothing about guns, and pass laws that ban random aesthetics rather than anything relevant to gun violence.

        Good point. Remember that only 20% of Dems are armed compared to 44% of Repubs. The people more culturally attracted to fascism and defending capitalism are armed, while liberals who have the possibility to be morally opposed to fascism are disarmed. This is also a feature, not a bug.

        Considering buying a Mini-14 because the stupid laws my state made for the AR-15 don't apply to the Mini-14.

          Obviously the AR is a big scary assault rifle because it's painted black and has a pistol grip. That nice, calming Mini-14 is much nicer, what with its wooden finish and its shooting exactly the same round as the AR.

      Pretty much. Their idea of anything that is "semi-automatic" is just scary black assault rifles.
