Came here for everyone correcting them on the type of firearm it was. Not disappointed.

I know a glock assault machine gun when I see one. I watch the news. 🤣

Terminology is important. People using whatever words they want for guns is why we have “assault weapon” bans that prohibit cosmetic features which have nothing to do with rate of fire, range, or velocity. If you want meaningful gun control, you need a standardized language

Bro this is Reddit, not a legal debate.

Whatever dude. You’re getting mad because you don’t want to admit that your political positions are pro-murder

You’re the one objecting to using language that actually makes a difference in gun control

I’m objecting to being a pedantic twat on Reddit. Can you read? Make shit up much?

That’s because there’s hardly any difference besides barrel length when you are talking about semi automatic rifles and semi auto pistols. They need to introduce legislation to require some sort of minor hoops to jump through before buying any semi automatic weapon. (The type of weapon that is usually used in homicides and school shootings)

u/Not_a-Robot_ 5d ago

And “assault weapon” is a useful term for gun control because…?

u/Pleasant_Yak5991 5d ago

Well when you are talking about semi automatic rifles, it is somewhat descriptive. What terminology/paramaters would you use?

Edit: also, “assault weapon” is a scary term, which is also why it’s used.

That’s the problem. Our laws should be reflecting reality, not a reaction to meaningless scary words
