ironbender: "As gun owners, we really have to stop the "assault weapon/rifle" term, and start referring to it as a semi-auto sporting rifle."

If that's the case then it sure as hell would NOT hurt if all the damm sellers of AR15 type items would drop the damm words "TACTICAL & SOCOM" and all the Military jargon when advertising the junk! It makes gun owners look like a bunch of Rambo fools just by the ads alone!! What else would the general public think just from the ads alone? Our shut-up pie holes brought a lot of this crap into our laps ourselves so now it's time to repair the damage the best we can and lett advertisers know how damaging this type of advertising is to gun owenership overall! I am NOT anti-AR but I really find this type of advertising to be totally disgusting and a turn-off towards this type of firearm! Oh, and quit putting them on the cover of every dang magazine ever printed so that they are right in front of every soccer mom who ever goes into a grocery store!! Yeah!! THAT really helps our cause, too!
