Just a thought, the term assault weapon always gets thrown around and obviously doesn't sound very good.  If we could somehow manage to get the term freedom weapon in to the mix and just say that if you don't own a freedom rifle that you are unpatriotic and support terrorists, lets just see how many people come around to the dark side, or really, the good side. I've had a few drinks and thought I'd share an idea, sorry if its already been discussed prior to my post.

Brilliant.  I am certain that the Brady people will instantly see the error of their ways when confronted with such semantic genius.

Freedom Fries was what it  was modeled after, retarded? YES  But the very fact that I saw that on my local news in MO along time ago, and that was from the East Coast just shows how the news will eat up any story they can get their hands on.  All you have to do is get a story going how US Army and Marines and any service men and women in general love freedom rifles and want nothing more than to practice with them at home and despise an AWB and BOOM, got yourself a story that Obama can't say he's against. Shit look at CA, the amount of money spent to keep gays from marrying is sickening, a real effort to keep AW legal is all that is needed. I could make a powerpoint presentation for free to show the stats about how much crime is committed with AW if these fag liberals would just actually watch it.

Love to own an assault rifle, but that damn 86' FOPA Hughes Amendment made that a bit difficult.

I hate Sarah Brady, as I hate hell, and all Democrats.

At work, we call them "Sporting Tactical" rifles.

That is, an AR15 is Sporting Tactical. However, we as a company do not sell AK variants, because they are apparently not "sporting".

Although, from what I've seen, between shooting groups with an AR and an AK, the AK's accuracy is a hell of a lot more "sporting" than an AR...
