What are your firearms related pet peeve’s?

[RVTECH]

So you don't like AR15s?

He said he didn't like the word Assault Rifles (actually two words).

Not liking words does not infer a dislike for the item(s) the words may be applied to.

I love semi auto rifles.....I use them almost everyday for work. Mine have never assaulted anyone though, they are a tool. A tool to get the job done and a tool to protect myself and my loved ones. "Assault rifle" is a bs term the media and the dems made up to make a semi auto civilian owned rifel sound scary

AR-15 is simply Armalite Rifle #15. Otherwise, the lowly .22lr AR-7 survival rifle would be banned

Edit. The first AR-10 semiautomatic production models were released in 1959. Colt bought the rights to AR-15 and M16 designs and released the AR-15 to public in 1964 as the SP1 Sporter

I'm pretty sure my M1 was called an assault rifle and a weapon of war.

Back when I was in the Army...Assault Rifle was term occasionally seen and used....
It was used to describe a :
Shoulder fired , select fire rifle , using a intermediate sized rifle cartridge....or something like that....
Been awhile since such terms were of importance to me.

In any event....
Nowadays the term "Assault Rifle " is often seen or made to be seen as something negative.
Which seems wrong to me...since at the end of the day...it is just a rifle.

But then I ain't in charge of terms and their usage.

Firearm related pet peeve....
Folks thinking that a term for a firearm somehow makes it more deadly or dangerous.

Speaking only for myself / my way of thinking....
There is no difference between this :

J.Henry Trade Rifle Circa 1800-1820

And this :

AR15.jpg

Both are rifles...
As in having been made with a rifled bore and designed to accurately place a projectile on a target.

Yes one could also say that one is a flintlock rifle....and the other is a semi-auto rifle.
However...both terms / names / labels...also use the word rifle.

And yes the AR15 Carbine is mine....hopefully posting a picture and admitting I have one , don't break the internet...
