New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.

    Even if you can’t get a universal definition for “assault weapon” you can at least get as far as “rifle that kills people.”

    Was this what you said?

      Oh for fuck’s sake, I apparently left out an indefinite article. “A rifle that kills people.” Happy?

        If my .22 kills someone, should every .22 be considered an assault rifle?

        You aren’t clarifying anything. If you have an argument state it, stop pussy footing around.

          Do you not understand what a subset is or are you just going to continue to accuse me of saying every rifle is an assault rifle when I already told you that’s not what I said? I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren’t ignorant, just dishonest. I would request that you stop being so now. Alternatively, I can just block you.

            Then tell me what the fuck you’re saying dude. You’ve just found yourself in a losing position and are trying to back out of it. Tell me straight up, what’s an assault weapon.

              It is, as I already said, a subset of rifle, which, again, is more definition than you can make for ‘woke.’ Now, are you going to stop putting words in my mouth and accept what I have now told you more than once?

                  No, my definition compared to the definition of the word woke is that it is a subset of rifle. Why is this so difficult for you? Do you really not understand concepts like comparative language and subsets or are you playing a very irritating game? Because, again, if it’s the latter, I’ll just block you and be done with it.

                  I’ve been very clear with what I said apart from the accidental omission of a single letter.
