I'm a proponent of gun control in the form of increased background checks, stricter licensing, mandatory training, and other such measures. I'm also a proponent of unbiased discussion based on facts and reality. Misusing the word "assault rifle" as a click bait headline grabber is lazy journalism when it's well know that the AR in AR-15 doesn't stand for assault rifle. Use of that term only serves to further some of the division that exists between the pro and anti gun lobbies. It cheapens the discussion and actually drags it backwards instead of pushing it forward.
