    Assault rifle is a real term, invented by the Germans with their Sturmgewer during WWII. It’s a select fire automatic rifle chambered in an intermediate cartridge.

    Assault weapon is a make believe political term to define certain guns with mostly cosmetic features.

    Channel is interesting. Guy has about 10 different ones. Add reads are usually right at 2 minutes and pretty easy to skip right to the end. I watch him fairly often but if your thin skinned he’ll piss you off.


    As far as the vid, it’s not anything anyone here wouldn’t already know. I watched it the other day to see if he’d get it right and was pleasantly surprised. He even points out the stupidity of treating an AR-15 like a death machine while the Mini 14 is just a regular old sporting rifle.


    Honestly, videos like that from popular YT channels are how culture wars are won. Although I’d bet a months pay he doesn’t give a shit about the issues facing the US. Regardless, his quest for clicks benefits us.

    I suspect this messaging has been resonating with the grabbers because I’m seeing the narrative shift from “assault weapons” to banning all semi-automatic rifles the last several years.
