The rest is a matter of opinion and perspective--It's a rifle...it cannot battle or assault anyone. Yet people who are anti-gun love to use these descriptions to make the semi-automatic rifle appear "evil".

Don't call them black talons, their ranger rounds. I guess it has worked in that case.
For example the home SD shotgun, or is it a tactical, police, tench, combat, riot, military grade, etc. Most of the time it is all the same stogun.
I respect your opinion, and your right, it is what the anti-gun uses, words. At the same time I think by trying to hide such definitions, you might be making it into a dirty word. It is better they try and define something with a word and be taken apart, and able to demonstrate, it is just a word, that would include a hunting rifle if as defined.
Is Gun or Rifle a bad word? Maybe firearm is also the wrong word to? Maybe we should call them peace makers? I don't think you can win the name game with firearms (well, don't call something a cop killer, etc). By their nature, they are what they are. It is like trying to call a sword a large knife. It is what it is, with many possible definations.
