The media and anti-gun politicians are throwing around the term, “weapons of war” a lot these days. This terminology is often used to describe AR-15s and similar looking rifles. There’s a problem with this, mainly, “weapons of war” is a completely worthless term. It simply cannot be used as an accurate descriptor since it could be applied to just about any firearm.
Anyone who uses the term “Weapons of War” shows they know virtually nothing about modern firearms, firearms history, American history, and about the 2nd Amendment as a whole.
I’d recommend keeping that article on hand for any time you stumble across someone so unfamiliar with firearms, history, and the 2nd Amendment to the point where they use the term “weapons of war”
That term could be applied to anything that can be used in a wartime situation
A shovel or a axe
The left is always dealing broad generalities
It’s the only way sheep understand there doctrine
People fear what they don’t understand
People are happy to be lead
Because it’s easier than gaining knowledge
you want a simple description of a weapon of war.
the folding camp shovel - ie entrenching tool.
In the late seventies we were taught on it uses other than digging cat holes, shell scrapes or fighting holes, but on how to use it as a defensive WEAPON.
Pretty sure the modern USMC is taught the same thing still.
Shoulder fired firearms have NEVER been the primary weapon of war. It went from spears to swords right to cannon; and firearms just keep the enemy’s heads down and are needed to occupy territory once it is taken.
My response is to double down. The purpose of 2A is to preserve our ability to fight back against tyrannical government, and “weapons of war” are precisely the weapons most useful for that purpose.
