15. VPC has taken it one step further
As you noted, "Assault Weapons" was invented by VPC to create confusion with "Assault rifles." Now, VPC is just calling everything an "assault rifle" to drive home the confusion any more.

I thought Wayne did a good job. The problem with debating this in a time-constrained format is that when the other side states its "big lie," you have so much ammo to respond with it is tough to choose what facts to throw at them. It is the basic soundbite debating technique of gun grabbers hoping that no matter how outrageous the statement, it will help shore up support of a certain segment of the population pre-disposed to support them.
