Trying to brainstorm effective rhetorical/legal terminology ways to bridge the pro-gun/anti-gun divide re: VA bills. Agree tentatively with some restrictions (universal background checks, open-carry limitations) depending how they're written. Oppose items like magazine capacity limit, AWB, which I don't think protect people and unfairly subject them to risk by limiting options for protection. I somewhat like the idea of permitting for AR operation, treating it like CHP. Thoughts? Please hmu in comments, I'm looking for some thoughtful discussion here; this seems a little bit more discussion-oriented than some of the other pro-gun subreddits. As description says: what name do you think best communicates that AR's and similar are legitimate options for protecting self and family in the home? What option do you think actually comes across as I sincere name? I don't want it to sound like obvious pro-gun bullshit propaganda, but the term "assault weapon" really is not helping make this discussion very honest right now... Please keep discussion civil and feel free to change my mind or try to: looking for civil discourse here. Please be respectfully aware that I do believe AR's should be legal and my mind won't be changed on that, but I do welcome your feedback on what people think about them based on what they're called and as long as your comments are non-hostile, I'm happy you're here. Thanks in advance! If you have your own suggestion not in the list, please include it in your comment!
