Almost as bad as the firearm owners who post their rifle (semi-auto AK, AR, heck even Hi Point!) as an "assault rifle" in the classifieds on this very forum. Many of those same can't tell the difference between a clip and a magazine. Heck, we should know better.

I thought assault weapons were those gun with barrel shrouds... you know, those "thingies that go over the what-ca-call-it"

LOL.
Ya i have noticed that, I mean if you are on this forum you should know what an assault weapon. I guess it's understandable when someone mistakes an AR-15 as an auto, but when someone calls a Hi-Point 995 and assualt rifle... I can't help but laugh.

Yep, yep, yep. It comes with 5 "clips" too. These mistakes from people so "into" guns they post on a internet gun forum.

Even since I have been here there have been multiple threads on the difference between clips and magazines.

Personally, I only consider grenades & flame throwers to be "assault weapons". I mean, are you really going to assault an enemy position using semi-automatic rifles 26" long or longer? Hell no! You're gonna throw explosives & try to set it on fire.

C'mon Paco, where's the purple. Some of us are gonna think flame throwers are on sale at Walmart.

This video needs to be shown on network news stations everywhere at least once a week during primetime.

But, you and I know this will never happen.
