get that OUT of my face posted:what we call a "journalist" today is more akin to someone who regularly and aggressively whores themselves out for political and professional access. i blame the post-watergate journalism boom. from the start, the people trying to be the next Woodward and Bernstein came from the Ivy League, and as newsrooms started dying out at the end of the '80s as a result of an oversaturated market, it only got worse our situation today is roughly equivalent to the era of "yellow journalism" where stories and coverage were strictly determined by the owners of the outlet and journalists were mostly mercenaries who would write whatever for whomever for a paycheck. the twitter jornos who complain about leftists wanting to silence free speech have their stories killed for being too politically sensitive all the time, they just don't usually talk about it because of "professional ethics"

an assault rifle is easy to recognize because it's name starts with the letters AR as in AR-15

assault rifles are defined by doing more damage per bullet and having better aim down sight accuracy and zoom than smg's but also having worse recoil

turn off the TV posted:no it stands for ARmalite-15 (the AR in armalite stands for assault rifle) No, Armalite makes the gun, but it’s an assault rifle. it’s called 15 because there were 14 made before it.

Platystemon posted:That’s not the usual definition of “assault rifle”. Well I'm down to be educated here. As far as I know, an "assault rifle" is a rife capable of semi-/burst or full auto fire, with a pistol grip, forward handguard and detachable magazine? The FAWB (now defunct, but the best way I've seen them defined) defined them as a rifle having or having the capability for: - Semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine - Folding or telescoping (collapsible) stock - Pistol grip - Bayonet lug - Threaded barrel - Grenade launcher - Barrel shroud I was under the impression that if your rifle holds 3 of those, that would be considered an assault rifle. It would seem I'm wrong, so what would be the actual definition?

I've always seen assault rifle defined as a select fire rifle that can do full auto that uses an intermediate caliber cartridge. AFAIK assault rifles have been banned since 1968.

The definition of “assault weapon” is unrelated to the definition of “assault rifle”. Like, no one considers shotguns to be “rifles” even if they have rifled barrels. For that matter, pistols have had rifled barrels longer than long guns have. An assault rifle, as conceived of in the early postwar period, has to be capable of automatic and/or burst fire.
