Merriam-Webster Changes Definition of "Assault Rifle"

[cpython]

The anti gun crowd knows no bounds!
“noun: any of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47) that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire; ALSO: a rifle that resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic fire”

Merriam Webster also includes garbage that isn't even words because stupid kids say it. Aks is probably in there and for the definition it says "to ask". FUMW

THAT'S CRAZY.

They actually state that "literally" means "virtually" or simply is a term of emphasis. NFW.

They changed the wrong term. Assault rifle is a military term, assault weapon is the political term that has been thrown around for a decade. The term that has no true meaning except every gun politicians want to ban.
