Please be civil. I need help. I fought long and hard during the Clinton years against the term "Assault" rifle. Being an NRA Life Member over twenty years and a regular member close to twenty more, I get a lot of mail. The other day I got a catalog from the NRA about "Tactical" stuff. What happened? Why did we fight so hard to oppose "Assault" but we're fine with "Tactical"?? Another made up term that sells! What is "tactical" stuff? I never saw "Tactical" stuff in the U.S. Navy from 78 to 82 and I was a Gunners Mate. I guess everything we used was "tactical". We just didn't call it that name. Am I on the right track?? Vince
