We've seen em called all kinds of things lately, including pre-ban, post-ban and no-ban. How about Sunset guns, that conjures up a pleasant image.
Biggest gripe is calling em "Assault Weapons". That name just fuel the Gun Grabbers position with the uneducated. Brady bunch tagged that name on em for a reason. It makes em sound evil. Call em something pleasant without negative conotations. Please feel free to add your favorite "positive image" name. |

See, you still have that "negative" word Assault in there. We're supporting Brady by using that word. It scares the uneducated.

It was suggested in GD to try and see if we can get it mainstream as the " HDR's " or Homeland Defense Rifles........ i kinda like it myself....................... Doesnt sound so scary
|
|
From a previous thread: Homeland Defense Rifle.
But I also like AR |
|
Honestly, I like Sport Utility Rifles best.
AR is okay to, as long as we don't let em turn AR into assault rifles in the minds of the general public. |

I Prefer "KILLING MACHINE" it just rolls of the tip of your tongue
|
|
You are not being very fair there vaughn. What about chuckie and teddie and little johnnie? |
|
|
All of mine are now sport utility rifles. I like that one best. Though Homeland Defense rifle is good too.

"pre-ban" for those manufactured be for the ban, and "post-ban" for those after the ban and "post sunset" for those after the sunset.
|
|
But today, they all became No bans. No ban precludes Pre and Post. No-ban sounds kinda illogical. |
|
|
+1 Sounds, well, "Sporty".LOL |

I don't care what you fellas call yours.. But I will call my new Colt M4A3... "SHARELENE".. And she will be dressed up like she deserves to be... |

Mine are, Arnie, Artie, Arron and Diane - (the "white" sheep of the family)

I like the Sport Utility Rifle....go's well with SUV
I call the F/S....a light switch The collasping stock....a costomisable stock The Bayonet lug....an appendage... Then it sounds less scary to people |

Bingo. A rifle by any other name would shoot as sweet. |
|
|
machine gun bolt actions.... Way to many people would fall for that one. I wish some Lib paper would post a story with some wildly made up gun names in it like I have seen before.
