Do not think about arguing

[A Simple Game]

182. So according to you a weapon is a weapon is a weapon and that's all there is to it?

And you are partially right, a weapon is a weapon. But there are categories of weapons as you must have found out when you did the search on ancient assault weapons. The history of weapons is fascinating isn't it?

There are offensive weapons, often the same as assault weapons, defensive weapons, and dual purpose weapons. An assault weapon can be a defensive weapon but doesn't have to be. Land mines are but one example of a defensive weapon that wouldn't be an offensive weapon. Can you at least acknowledge that there are different categories of weapons?

But then you probably don't want assault rifles categorized as assault weapons because you know most assault weapons are banned for private citizens.

Most weapons that are designed to kill large numbers of people in a short time frame are offensive weapons or assault weapons. Now bear with me here because often assault weapons are often designed to wound instead of kill. It requires very little thought to understand the reasoning behind this tactic. Here's a hint, it has to do with manpower usage.

I also see that you realize a assault weapon doesn't have to be a assault rifle, but are still having a problem understanding that a assault rifle is a assault weapon or at least can be. So at least now you are only half confused, congratulations.
