I didn't mean anything by it, nor do I feel like it is a derogatory term for a Rifle, or any other firearm for that matter.
Far as I'm concerned, only anti gunners and the like, use it in a derogatory way, and I do not want to conform to emotional based decisions on what a word means.
Regardless of my opinions, I will do my best to maintain correct use of terminology.
Cheers.
Cheers right back Jimmy
I was not trying to censor or criticize but just making a point about "newspeak" and the categorization of of our firearms as "weapons" by the left.
Most folks in general society have never been in The Services and our opponents almost certainly not, it is unfortunate that the masses are demonstrably pretty f%c3ing stupid and if we use the antis favoured terminology ?

The above book is quiet probably unavailable, having been burned in secret and online deleted.
Excuse the rant and again I did not mean to teach you how to speak.
