Linguistics is a game played to demonize things or promote things through language.I think you're missing my point on how stupid it is too call it "assault weapon" why is one an "assault weapon" and other not ...... are not longer going to call a knife at crime scene an "assault weapon"
Like the word "progressive" - it makes it sound like progress, and who doesn't like progress?
So things they want to ban get the negatively associated terms and things that want to promote get positively associated terms.
