it rarely is, although in this case, i think i knew what he meant. and BTW, he was right. what kind of a jagg-off puts a butt stock on a Desert Eagle.
I agree with what he's saying too. But language is a powerful weapon. One which anti-gunners use proficiently in their attempt to scare the lay public into thinking any black, semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine is an evil "assault rifle" that only belongs in the hands of LEOs and military. Even the connotation of the phrase implies a weapon that is used to commit crimes, not recreation, sport, or self defense. If we, as the voice of 2nd amendment, can't use the lingo correctly, how can we ever expect to best the antis?
