I don't want to hear any "a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet" non sense in this world names have a large impact on how ignorant people look at things. I am not just talking about firearms here it happens in every industry ( I am studying marketing and have taken classes on this) I think that by changing the name we could help sheep  be less afraid of our sport. In he current political climate every non anti sheep helps. When hear the words assault rife they thing negative because assault has a negative connotation in this country, assault is associated with crime. Just a thought comments are welcome. |
Me, well I don't like it--what I think is going on, if you read the wording "semiautomatic sport-utility rifle" -----it just looks like the next step the anti-gunners will take in trying to give sporting rifles a bad name. They have most of the uneducated people believing an assault rifle is "full auto", so why not plant the seed in the publics head hunting rifles are also those bad semiautomatics.
I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first or last time I was, but who knows what goes on in their small heads.
