Guns for Beginners: What Is An “Assault Weapon”?

Many people confuse assault weapon with rifle. An assault rifle is commonly referred to as any military style rifle. The problem is military style rifles have a semi, a burst, and sometimes full automatic options. Without a federal license civilian rifles are simply rifles. The term Assault weapon is a fabrication by the media to fit all guns into one simple category.

Key Takeaways:

• Assualt rifles are banned and assault weapons do not even exist. Being unaware of these facts creates confusion and incorrect assumptions among Americans.
• “Assault weapon” was just a phrased used by anti-gun corporations to push their agenda.
• These assault weapons are just in fact common guns most Americans use to protect their homes and families.

“”So-called ‘assault weapons’ are, in fact, simply common semi-automatic rifles; normal, everyday firearms used by countless Americans for lawful and constitutionally protected purposes.””
