To me, when people use the term "assault rifle"--it's usually because that is the term the press uses....and the press doesn't have an agenda, does it?

Using the term "assault rifle" implies pre-formed intent...because we all know assaulting someone is wrong (and illegal)...but now you have an "assault rifle"...OMG!! LOOK OUT!! GUNMAN! SNIPER!! (if it has an optic)...

I like the sport utility rifle moniker....SUR....like an SUV, it costs just as much to feed.
