It HAS TO BE an “assault rifle” or “assault weapon” to fit their narrative. 

No shit? Are you an actual real “leftist”? or are you just liberal?  I apologize and am not insulting your intelligence but I see the term “leftist” incorrectly used all the time. Mostly on the right.  As a leftist do you actually believe that all property ownership is “theft”? Do you believe the sole purpose of capitalism is to facilitate greed and “enslave” people? Are you opposed to all private enterprise and believe only the state should be allowed to control commerce? 

I got banned once for just asking a question. I asked how/why people think banning ARs or “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazines” will somehow curb “gun violence” since it has been proven that over 60% of all shooting deaths or so called “gun violence” is actually suicide? I mean, how many times does someone pull the trigger in a suicide attempt?  Man. Folks absolutely lose their shit if you question their false narrative on anything.
