so forgive me if I come off that way.
I am bothered by our need(?) to name these arms by their use. Engaging in some play of words and fun is all well and good but having to justify the possession of any particular arm through some need bugs me. I have bolt action rifles. I have single shot rifles. I have semi automatic rifles. Any of them may be used for self defense, hunting, target shooting or just plain fun.
It feels as if we are naming the use of these particular semi automatic rifles to make them somehow more palatable. And that feels to me somewhat like what the "Anti's" are doing; naming these rifles to make them somehow more evil.
I'll go finish my coffee now....
