pdl099 Posted January 25, 2023 at 12:07 AM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 12:07 AM When I read the initial news reports immediately after the incident, I thought they were talking about a AR pistol at first, nope, a common handgun with extended magazine is now called an "assault pistol"... the crazies are coming out in force. Expect Illinois politicians to start using this language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith44 Posted January 25, 2023 at 12:12 AM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 12:12 AM According to the latest Illinois legislative stupidity, a Ruger 22/45 Lite with a threaded barrel is a assault pistol… -Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Posted January 25, 2023 at 12:18 AM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 12:18 AM On a Twitter thread I was reading, as soon as they posted that it was an "assualt pistol" and people said What the "hey" is that, someone posted a picture of a Mossberg 715P 22 proving beyond a doubt how stupid they are 🤪🤡🌎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinois_buckeye Posted January 25, 2023 at 02:02 AM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 02:02 AM Makes sense though if you eventually want to ban handguns at some point. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumak_from_arfcom Posted January 25, 2023 at 02:10 AM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 02:10 AM Back in the 80s era, I remember they wanted to ban handguns. They called them saturday night specials. They want all guns banned. Just wait until someone who knows how to use a pump shotgun goes nuts. You'll hear how these "trench guns" were used in WW1 and how they wanted them banned from warfare.

once0217 Posted January 25, 2023 at 02:43 AM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 02:43 AM Well if memory serves me correct, the HK 45 was introduced as the world's first assault pistol. So there's that I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday night specials are inexpensive, imported ZAMAK pistols. "They" got their way in a lot of states, including Illinois, with "melting point" laws.

2A4Cook Posted January 25, 2023 at 03:12 PM Share Posted January 25, 2023 at 03:12 PM Never any mention of assault SUVs equitably used by those who NEVER commit any crimes to plow into parades loaded with old ladies and children. For Pete's sake, the St. Louis PD was just forced to release one such urchin who was chased down as part of a group shooting at the cops ... and found with a Glock equipped with an auto sear.

Imagine the wailing if soccer moms were forced to give up their fully-automatic 10-speed transmissions. If it could save just one child's life.

This seems as if they're testing catch phrases on the public. "Assault weapon" is a tired meme, so why not "assault pistol" instead? Just the same as the gun control movement attempting to rebrand as the "gun safety" movement. "Control" sounded too hostile to American ears so they felt it was time for a change.
