        having been in the Army, he should know there's a difference between "assault rifles" and AR's.

        Most believe the propaganda saying they are the same. What looks the same isn't even close... a full auto isn't the same.

        It means better than the government, not less. It's to protect from a rogue(out of control) government, read history!
