Gingrich: Calling an AR-15 an assault weapon is ‘lovely propaganda’

“I put it to you that an AR-15 military-style assault weapon was used in the last five mass shootings,” Morgan pointed out.

“It’s not a military-style assault weapon,” Gingrich insisted. “Look, this is a lovely propaganda.”

“What else do you call then?” Morgan pressed. “A machine that can fire 100 bullets in a minute. What else do you call it?”

“I would simply say to you that millions of people, by your own definition, own an AR-15,” the Georgia Republican explained. “They’re law-abiding. They think it is their right under our Constitution to own it, and don’t kid the rest of us.”

I call that evading the question.
