The idea strikes me that the real assault weapon is the attempt of the NY Legislature to prevent me from having my AR-15 Varminter. I am not assaulting anyone with my gun. I am using it to poke holes in targets that are far away. It challenges me. It is good wholesome fun.

Their Bills to 86 "assault weapons" end up making me feel like a second class citizen... some kind of bad person because I have a gun that can shoot bullets as fast as I can pull the trigger as if that...
