Just curious. This term has been thrown around for about a decade and now has become standard. It seems to be used to describe rifles. I’ve never heard of a rifle assaulting anyone. What say you?
What’s an assault weapon?

I’m not an engineer, and I did not stay in a holiday inn last night, but I’m pretty sure the rifling performs that task.

Several years ago I had a Magnum Desert Eagle XIX. I put about ten rounds through it at the Police Hall of Fame range down the road from me and then sold it. It had a muzzle break which I swear didn't do squat but blow flames twelve inches from the sides. I miss it but don't miss it... I think you could miss the target by 5 feet and still take it out with the shock wave....I’m not an engineer, and I did not stay in a holiday inn last night, but I’m pretty sure the rifling performs that task.

How old were you?
I was used to that kind of stuff when I was a kid. We used buy Herefords for beef. We'd grain them, then butcher. One shot in the head with 22lr, drop like a sack of potatoes. Skin them, quarter them with a chainsaw and off to the butcher.

You meant cannon...My neighbor bought a 50 cal pistol, fired about 8 shots into the dirt, and sold it because the rounds were too damn expensive. He was nowhere near the target, and only about 10 yards away! That day was a hoot. He was "pissed" as I fired round after round of my Kimber 1911 into the bullseye.

That's a handful for sure. I bought a SA Ruger 10.5' barrel, 44mag with the idea of trying silhouette shooting. I never did it, not sure why looking back but shot alot of paper instead. I did hunt deer with it a few times, quit doing that when the buck of a life time was a little to far away for my skill level.
He'd be hanging on the wall if I had my rifle.

Times have changed for sure. Most folks are pretty isolated from what it takes to have food...just go to the store and take it off the shelf.Yikes.... closest I got was cutting heads off chickens when I was a kid...threw them under a tub...some got away and ran around like a chicken with its head cut off

I love my pre 64 model 94 30/30, but so different than my other firearms. I'd cry if I dropped my 30/30. Most of my ARs I build for beating up.Real guns are blued and have wood on them...just saying

I do have an AR. It works. It is accurate.
My deer rifle is stainless and synthetic. It works. It is accurate.
They are utilitarian and just have no “soul”.
Now, on the other hand, my M1 Garands and my Browning O/U are works of art in addition to functionality.

I do not believe so. In Indiana .243 is the minimum. Just pointing out it is not some mammoth gun like so many believe. .223 is just slightly bigger than the .22 rifle though longer.Is this offered in defense, to be comforting?....OK it's less lethal than a cannon.
I'm pretty sure .223 is legal for 'big game' in the majority of states, deer and in some states bear and elk.
