tradesman's definitions

liberal

1. An individual or group of individuals that embrace all views...unless you disagree with them.

2. Most of the media.

3. One who would rather take away your constitutional right to bear arms, then to take away bin Laden's or Saddam's weapons.

Today's liberals want to make the world a better place...as long as they don't have to make the big sacrifices, and someone else does.

assault weapon

An amorphous term coined by those who support gun control. Applied to semi-automatic weapons that cosmetically resemble fully automatic firearms.

When gun manufacturers began making these so-called assault weapons without the things that made them look menacing, the gun grabbers cried that a "loophole" was found. Well, duh...they would be the last to see that the changes were cosmetic in nature.
