Why is it that everyone gets all bent out of shape when one uses a wrong term or a different term?

Because an AR15 for civilian use is not an assault rifle, MA, CA, CT, NY be damned.

Calling an AR15 an assault rifle is not the same as calling a magazine a clip or any of the other silly hangups some people have on proper vernacular.

The antis pushed the assault weapon term thru the minds of Americans for one reason, to ban them. It's a semi-automatic or sporting rifle with a fixed stock and the same gun with a pistol grip and adjustable stock is an assault rifle? Sorry, many here think it is anti-gun jargon by the people who want to ban all guns, including the media. So, to answer your question, some terms require us to get bent out of shape while other terms are just annoying.

It is a business management excercise according to the original poster. It is ostensibly about data collection and analysis. The product is hypothetical.

zagbomb said in the first post that the survey expires on the 24th. Since there's not much point in additional discussion on it, I'll close it.

zagbomb - if you want to add a final post, please PM Mike Irwin, me, or any of the Gen Dis moderators to have it opened for the addition.
