New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.

    That is such a stupid whatabout. Even if you can’t get a universal definition

    I thought we were talking about defining terms? How is asking to define a term whataboutism?

    you can at least get as far as “rifle that kills people.”

    Any rifle that’s ever killed an individual is an assault weapon? That’s why non-crazies think the push against AW’s are stupid, because you just say dumb shit like that

      I never even implied such a thing. You are being highly disingenuous by saying so. The suggestion was that it was a subset of rifle, which is more definition than you can give for “woke.”

        Even if you can’t get a universal definition for “assault weapon” you can at least get as far as “rifle that kills people.”

        Was this what you said?

          Oh for fuck’s sake, I apparently left out an indefinite article. “A rifle that kills people.” Happy?

            If my .22 kills someone, should every .22 be considered an assault rifle?

            You aren’t clarifying anything. If you have an argument state it, stop pussy footing around.

              Do you not understand what a subset is or are you just going to continue to accuse me of saying every rifle is an assault rifle when I already told you that’s not what I said? I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren’t ignorant, just dishonest. I would request that you stop being so now. Alternatively, I can just block you.

                Then tell me what the fuck you’re saying dude. You’ve just found yourself in a losing position and are trying to back out of it. Tell me straight up, what’s an assault weapon.

                  It is, as I already said, a subset of rifle, which, again, is more definition than you can make for ‘woke.’ Now, are you going to stop putting words in my mouth and accept what I have now told you more than once?
