Gun violence never was a gun problem. It's always been a violence problem.
I'm sure assault and murder predate projectile weaponry. Clubs, spears, and arrows were classic assault weapons before firearms were dreamed of.
Common modern assault weapons include motor vehicles, IEDs, and kitchenware, and quite a few others if you look elsewhere than the US.
You are 100% correct.
The old grind never once referred to the AR as such. Your the person that just regurgitated that."Common assault weapons.........."????
How is it that an AR-15 is ALWAYS referred to as an "assault weapon"?
An AR-15 ..... IS NOT a military style "assault weapon", any more than a .22 cal. rifle is.
AR stands for Armalite Rifle......not "assault rifle"!

But to say it's not military style is Idiocracy. It is an absolute visual match to the M4 used today by our military. It's parts are mostly all perfectly interchangable. So style.... Yes. The AR that we all know and love is more than military style. It's the very exact military rifle in use around the globe today... Save for the fitting group.
I own a few Colt AR rifles. I can swap parts with my son in the Marines and it would be like for like. I can file a part or two and make it not select fire but full auto.
When I hear other gun nuts try to say that mine and their AR are not military style weapons I know right away that I'm hearing a fool.
