Just because it looks scary doesn't make it an assault weapon

The AR-15 is not an assault weapon. It is a semi-automatic rifle just like my old Ruger .22 rifle. It has been used in the military, but so has the Colt .45, which is not considered an assault weapon. 

Unless you consider all weapons to be assault weapons, because if you're assaulting an enemy, you use whatever weapon is available. So even a baseball bat can be used as an assault weapon.

One talking head liberal said that there is no reason for people to be allowed to own an AR-15 because he could see "no recreational reason" to do so.

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with firearms recreation. It doesn't even mention anything about recreation, and the word is not even in the Constitution. 

Recreation was never the purpose of allowing Americans to own guns. It is about the idea that the people should be self-governing and that the government should not have power over the people, but the people should have power over the government. 

Tom Jefferson said that, I believe.

It was a foregone conclusion the moment I heard about the horrible Orlando shooting--I knew the liberals wouldn't wait for the smoke to clear and the dead to be identified before they spouted their gun control solution to a problem that has nothing to do with gun control.

We have idiots on the left who refuse to identify the problem just like they refuse to identify the enemy. 

They even blamed the NRA for the Muslim terrorist's jihad.
