elvis christ 451 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Notice the words used in the article: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sector-snap-gun-companies-180122119.html Does "modern sporting rifle" sound better than "assault rifle?" To ignorant people, i'm sure it sounds better, but i'm also pretty sure that the S&W modern sporting rifles that attributed to increased sales were probsbly M&P's. Its nice to see guns not being openly villified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrThunder88 912 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I just refer to them as "rifles". Others I just refer to as "Fudd guns". 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mgconnor13 206 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Amazing how labels change perception. If you give something a cute, fun name and people will eat it up. Seeing how the AR platform is the most common center fired rifle in the US I would say the "Evil Black Rifle" has found a place in the hearts and safes of most red blooded Americans Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Evil black weapon vs. Modern sporting rifle reminds me of a George Carlin obsevation, that, "Rats are just one fuzzy tail away from being hand-fed in the park." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
