People who jump at the chance to say "An AR-15 isn't an assault rifle" are the gun version of people that tell you "His name isn't Frankenstein, it's Frankenstein's monster".

You are technically correct. You are missing the point. Nobody likes you.

@lowqualityfacts heartily disagree. One can show sufficient respect for the noble art and craft of scifi based necromancy, while still maintaining a pragmatic attitude to the language surrounding sane gun reform. You're spot on with the people not liking me tho.
@FatCatInAStrawHat @lowqualityfacts this is how I feel, be exact, be explicit, stop hating intellectualism. Stop reasoning with the emotion called sacracsm, have as many solutions as commentary or be prepared to otherwise make the situation toxic with your solution free rhetoric, and for what purpose?
@chris @lowqualityfacts also, joking aside, being very exact w/r/t how we talk about guns seems important because new laws are desired. Lobbying for slight of hand definitions and linguistic technicalities seems like a very plausible behavior from the NRA. All things being equal.
