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?
So your definition of Assault Weapon is "a subset of rifle' - is that correct?
No, my definition compared to the definition of the word woke is that it is a subset of rifle. Why is this so difficult for you? Do you really not understand concepts like comparative language and subsets or are you playing a very irritating game? Because, again, if it's the latter, I'll just block you and be done with it.
I've been very clear with what I said apart from the accidental omission of a single letter.
Please define Assault weapon.
It's really fucking simple, you're doing everything to avoid answering the question.
Got it. You're playing games. Blocked it is.
