Young Americans for Freedom recently visited the campus of George Washington University and asked students if they wanted to ban assault weapons. While the students who were questioned absolutely believed assault weapons should be banned, none of them could even describe what an assault weapon actually is.
From the YAF report:
Curious as to how fellow millennials would react when questioned about the proposed “assault weapons ban,” I took to the campus of The George Washington University to ask their opinions.
An overwhelming majority of the students I spoke with favored the ban on assault weapons, but couldn’t offer even the most basic definition of the term itself.
While a couple students confidently claimed, “A lot of people don’t know how to control their use of guns,” and “Anything above what a shotgun would be […] is just not necessary,” they simply couldn’t follow up by defining the very weapons they wanted to ban.
In fact, their answers were stunningly bizarre.
Many of their attempts to answer the question hit all the tired and overused liberal talking points about “military-style, high-capacity” firearms. When pressed to follow her strange definition to its logical conclusion, one young woman admitted that she believed a rock “is an assault weapon, I guess.” A helpful vegetarian offered hunting advice, warning against using assault weapons to hunt deer noting “you’re pretty much just making ground beef at that point.”
Some students were more honest, like the one who sheepishly admitted, “I don’t know anything about gun names.”

Perhaps the NRA should push for a new educational initiative at American universities.
Clearly, American college students don’t understand guns or their Constitutional rights.
