"semi-automatic Assault Rifle" is an OXYMORON written by Morons !
WE don't need Assault Politicians Assaulting our rights !
Legally owned guns that never hurt anyone Cannot really be "Assault weapons" by real definition...
as·sault
/əˈsôlt/
verb
- 1.
make a physical attack on.
"he pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer"
synonyms: attack, hit, strike, punch, beat up, thump; More- noun
The prima facie case for "assault" has 3 components:
- 1.
a physical attack.
"his imprisonment for an assault on the film director"
synonyms: battery, violence; More- 2.
a concerted attempt to do something demanding.
"a winter assault on Mt. Everest"
Guns are tools, inanimate object incapable of doing anything without a Human Interaction and as such I want the Lawyer to explain to all of us How a Gun can be a defendant ??? Guns Cannot "Act" , guns have NO intent, guns have no action on their own.
- The defendant acts
- The defendant intends to cause the victim to apprehend imminent harmful contact from the defendant
- The defendant's action causes the victim to reasonably apprehend such a contact.
So in reality, Doctors who kill patients are Assault Doctors , Drug companies that cause peoples deaths are Assault Drug Companies,
etc. Because THEY can be Defendants in a trial.
It seems to me you left out one glaring example from your last paragraph, namely that of "assault legislators." They assault our intelligence; they assault our constitutional rights (eg. 2A and voting); they assault our property rights; they assault our financial well being; they assault our moral fiber as a nation; they assault our independence and try to substitute dependence on them (eg - increase in numbers on the government dole and homelessness) ...
Need I go on?
So in the future when you are referring to a specific elected official why not fight propaganda and fill in the blank with some of your own:
Assault legislator ________________
Assault speaker _________________
Assault governor ________________
Don't settle for a confused and mis-guided ersatz citizenship when the ennumerated rights of "We the People" are your true birthright.
