(49,445 posts)Your side's definition of "assault weapon" had always been emotional, political, and arbitrary bullshit but it's become such a mainstay of your political identity that you can't let it go.
You're a firearm technology conservative. Not in the left-right political sense, but in the "trying to stop inevitable progress" sense.
You want gun technology to somehow stay locked in 1914. You whine and moan and want to ban and outlaw any technological advancement.
Non-glare black finishes? That's military style, ban it.
Ergonomic pistol grip? That's military style, ban it.
Ergonomic adjustable stock? That's military style, ban it.
TWO ergonomic pistol grips? That's military style, ban it twice as much.
A flash higher? That's military style, ban it.
A folding stock? That's military style, ban it.
Removable magazine? That's military style, ban it.
I'm waiting for you and your side to ban attaching laser sights and flashlights to guns. I'm waiting to see holographic red-dot sights banned. I'm waiting to see rifle scopes over 4x banned. Hell, I'm waiting for all rifle scopes to be banned.
Did you know that they make holographic red-dot sights small enough and light enough to fit on pistols now? It's the next big thing.
What's your opinion on that?
Wait, wait, lemme guess... "That's military style, ban it."
