Ok no more use of the word ammunition per 78. They will now be refered to as distribution device's... good thinking that will help us throw those donkeys off. :thumbsup:
thanks tom good point and as for surfs breakdown and kicking some knowledge I won't get that wrong anymore.
I know this is kinda meeh but by definition as surf put it ( if its too long for most of your attention spans just go to the end and read)  most of our rifles don't fit the misrepresentation of that title. Im just creating another argument for our cause. If we the owners of these such devices dont even know the difference then we just keep enabling the fools!

Anybody here read 1984?  Remember the language Newspeak, official language of Oceania?  Orwell did a nice job of summing up how language controls thought and society with that example. 
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

:rofl:
We should stop feeding the agenda of the politicians by calling our rifles "AR's". I personally dont own any of those.  But what I do own a few of is "modern sporting rifles" (MSR). So please can we all refer to it as an MSR not AR's. Mine does not have a full auto feature which is the true definition of assault rifle. Thanks for all the support :shaka:
please reply when you read this thanks.

Aye, but what we be pirates?  yARgh...... :rofl:
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

haha.

Why are you letting them run your life with their made up bastard terminology.  I won't let anyone dictate to me what to speak, eat, drink, etc.  Better to educate people, as the NRA and many others have been doing.  Call the antis on their lies and expose the agenda and the truth.  That will take us farther than acquiescing and playing their game -  to their rules.

If anything else I will say my AR is a modern musket but that would probably be met with blank stares outside of our circles.

Like!~    See the tie in with the First and Second Amendment

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/3/miller-bloomberg-group-blasts-billboard-with-assau/

Slide Fire manufacturers the Slide Stock, which is a replacement stock on a rifle that allows you to shoot faster. The slide lets the user “bump fire” from the shoulder, which means using the recoil of the firearm to pull the trigger faster.

The feature has been controversial because gun-control advocates such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein wrongly say that it converts a semi-automatic gun into an automatic one.

In fact, the gun owner must still pull the trigger each time to release one round and use a complicated physical technique to shoot faster. The ATF approved the feature for manufacture and sale.

However, Ms. Shackelford said the “Pure American” campaign is about promoting Second Amendment rights more than their product.

“We are all law-abiding citizens who are sick of being told that it’s abnormal or scary to own a firearm,” she said. “These gun-control groups are not making anyone safer, but just stoking irrational fears of the unknown.”

She pointed out that, as far as symbols of America go, guns are older than either baseball or apple pies. Ms. Shackelford explained that, “Firearms are the reason we are American citizens today. And it’s why the Constitution includes the Second Amendment.”

And Mr. Bloomberg needs to understand that the First Amendment applies to all speech, not just his anti-gun agenda.

Based on Surf's dissertation, we could call them SARs. Semi-Automatic Rifles.
(and thanks for the clarification Surf ) 

I like Modern Musket.

ammunition distribution devices

ADD's !  That would be hilarious.

We need to start a poll.

No. I have AR-15 style rifles and will continue to call them AR's. Calling them modern sporting rifles is gay. Sounds like you're just trying to appease the public so they won't be scared. Just call it what it is. A fucking bad ass rifle!

I'm going to have to agree here.

I'm not changing the name of my gun to appease some pussy.

Nor am I painting it pink because some white guy is intimidated by 37" of hard black steel.

My gun is called what it is called.

Like it, love it, or hate it.

I honestly don't give a shit.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
