SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods – a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from “JWR”. Today’s focus is on Terrorism.
Terrorism
First, the eyes of the world are on England, which just suffered more Islamic terrorist attacks. Please pray that the nation will display the same resolve on terrorism that they did in fighting Nazi aggression in World War II. See this article by John Moody, posted over at Fox News: London terror: Saturday attacks a tipping point in campaign to destroy the West

More terrorism news, from Manila: “In a most bizarre explanation, local police and government officials insist a gunman carrying an assault rifle broke into Resorts World Manila from a parking lot entrance, fired at a TV screen, doused a gaming table with gasoline and set it on fire. He then proceeded to steal the equivalent of $2.3 million dollars in casino chips, break into the adjoining Maxims Hotel, and then burned himself alive...”

I take offense to the invective used in the above missive regarding terrorism. The phrase “assault rifle” is a communist pejorative, invented for the sole purpose of demonizing the American right to self defense.
I should think everyone on this particular sight would know better. The correct terms would be “rifle”, “semiautomatic rifle”, “autoloader”, or “homeland defense rifle”.
Let’s not help those who seek to destroy this great nation by adopting their pejoratives for our sacred rights.
Take offense all you want but there is a very good chance that the gun in question was a true assault rifle as this incident happened in Manila and ISIS themselves claimed responsibility.
I agree that the term assault rifle is often misused but in this case it was probably NOT misused.
