What Is An “Assault Rifle”? – You’ve Probably Been Lied To [2]. Starting a 5:55, watch him transform a humble Mini-14 into something “Evil” looking–at least in the eyes of Chuckie Schumer and Dianne Feinstein.

I urge my readers to stock up on full capacity magazines, especially for any guns that are imported, such as Glock, SIG, HK, Taurus, Tavor, et cetera.]
