One misconception at a time.
I believe that expecting non-gun people to ever get the difference between assault rifle and assault weapon is asking for too much. It is too late, they will never get it now."Not a machine gun, not fully automatic" they can understand.

"Much weaker than most hunting guns" is pretty straight forward, and can be shown with facts that the untrained person can understand in just a few seconds. If they understand that they have been misled, so much the better.

I am only interested in the truths that can be understood by the large group of people who have been lied to and now think guns are kind of bad.

Arguing with anti-gun fanatics is a waste of time, except if they are convincing middle of the road folks.
Discussing details with other gun guys is preaching to the choir when I could be preaching to passers by who stopped into church for a second.
