But Robert, we both know that 'assault rifle' is a misnomer; an unofficial designation that resulted from the admittedly misdirected efforts of the 1994 weapon ban.

Would you still cleave to your position, and maintain that no such weapons have been used for murderous purposes no sold to the public in the last twenty-seven years, if we simply referred to them as semi-automatic rifles and / or carbines with detachable magazines?
