Damn Bayonet Lugs

Photo and caption from Saturday, May 21, St. Louis Post-Dispatch:



A boy and his assault weapon

Note the boy has an assault rifle, an obvious assault weapon. Militants carry assault weapons. Law-abiding citizens wouldn’t carry assault weapons. The government should ban them.

I mean, damn, the kid’s got a wholly automatic rifle, and the Associated Press or the Post-Dispatch unknowingly or knowingly bestowed the term assault weapon on it. Nothing like calling slavery freedom and war peace to keep the discourse straight.

So do can the caption writer not differentiate, or does he/she merely want you to be unable to, gentle reader?
