    Too real. I don’t know how internet gun nuts have yelled at me that assault rifles aren’t real and the media invented it.

      Assault rifle means something, and there are very few of them in civilian hands, and they are (almost?) never used in crimes because they’re so hard to get already. Making them harder to get would accomplish nothing. Assault weapon is the made-up term that is based more on looks than function.
