SE Cupp doesn't know what "rapid-fire" or Military grade weapons" means

112. Correct, and so you start there and BOTH SIDES work on tighening the defintions.

And they do so, together.

When you hear some one say "assault weapon" you can probably safely assume that the weapons they are thinking about have the ability to fire many shots in a short period of time.

What you don't know is how many is "many", and how is short is a "short period of time".

So that's a good place to start the discussion. Rather than give up because those terms are not yet quantified, you, together, discuss how those would be defined.

If you can come to a basic agreement on those, perhaps you introduce the concept of "effective kill range" to the discussion. A weapon that has an effective kill range of from 3 feet to 100 feet, is probably more dangerous than one with an effective range between 1 foot and 10 feet.

Perhaps certain weapons provide the ability to use ammo that is more deadly by the nature of how the ballistic performs on impact with the human body. This can be quantified and included.

My point here is pretty simple. A model of the kind I describe is possible, even if I am not the right person to ultimately select the quantifiable elements. And my issue is with those who would say, no such thing is possible, so we should not try.
