Good one, David. I've always abhorred the ubiquitous term "assault weapon" which gets bandied about by anti rights nutz. I've actually been assaulted with a weapon, hence I was the victim of an "assault weapon." It didn't happen to be a gun.
Making the point that an assault with a weapon indicates use of an "assault weapon" hits the nail on the head.
Apparently even an infant can be used as an assault weapon.
2007: "ERIE, Pa. - A woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to swinging her 4-week-old son like a bat to hit her boyfriend during a fight, fracturing the infant’s skull in the process. Chytoria Graham, 27, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child under a plea agreement with prosecutors. By pleading guilty, Graham acknowledged that on Oct. 8 she grabbed her son Jarron by his feet and swung him, hitting her boyfriend and seriously injuring the child."
The accompanying head shot shows her swollen, bruised face. Decide: run or gun, but don't put children in the middle. Barbarians.
Anything that can be picked up can be an "assault weapon." From a krav maga website: "Stone-like objects. Throw or hold in hand for delivering punches. Examples: ashtray, tumbler, statuette, bottle, plate, can. Small objects. Distract the attackers attention. Examples: coins, wristwatch, keys."
And even things that can't: "Structures. Push or pull attacker into a stationary object. Examples: Table, counter, pole."
Padded cells for everyone! It's the only way to have a safe society!
In Massachusetts, kicking someone while NOT barefoot (as opposed to the methods in the old Billy Jack movies) leads to the charge of "assault with a deadly weapon, to wit a shod foot".
So, most of us own several matched pairs of assault weapons. Bear... uh, wear them proudly!
Remember, it is not the tool you need to worry about, but the tool wielder.

ReplyDeleteDefender, that won't work. You could suffocate someone in the plush lined walls.
