Can you have a normal debate without resorting to ridiculous attacks like this? Grow up.

The term "assault weapon" is being used by people who know nothing about firearms to refer to anything that isn't an old bolt action these days.
Its meaningless
It would certainly help.
What is the point in making up terms for firearms that have never been used for them even by the military?
It only serves to muddy the waters and scare people.
A machine gun, traditionally, is a fully automatic firearm in a rifle format.
Think light machine guns (M249, PKM) or a sub-machine gun (MP5, P90)
A machine pistol isn't technically a "machine gun" despite the name. In fact, the classification of machine pistols is a debated topic even now.
In many places, they are classified as any other pistol. In others, they considered a form of PDW or Personal Defense Weapon.
But, PDW can sometimes refer to a specific class of SMG like the P90. Basically, a compact firearm with a cartridge around 6mm or so. Which the P90 fires a 5.7mm round.
Its complicated. And we should not be painting all firearms with the same brush.
Keep thinking that. Meanwhile most people here wouldn't be able to fight off someone with a knife.
It takes size and muscle, shooting the attacker takes a single trigger pull.
You may not like to hear it, but guns aren't going anywhere. Maybe if we stop making out gun owners to be some raging lunatics. Then they may be more likely to give them up.
This is all pointless anyway.
I think Bethesda, and really all other RPGs could benefit from being basically sandboxes without any real "main quest".
Make it about me and what I want to be in this fantasy world. Not what lame ass story the writers shat out to meet deadlines.
Lore, not linear stories. World building and evironmental story telling, not a tiny fish bowl with little exploration.
I mean, the main quest is like 10 percent of the game and playtime for most players. The remaining 90 percent is exploring, side quests, meeting interesting people, and obtaining power and fame. All of which happen on account of the player and their own story they want to tell in the dev's world.
That's what space sims are though. Not your type of game, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have open flight.
I've seen 4k images people made using stable diffusion XL models. They are apparently trained from higher resolution source images. Giving better resolution and less artifacting.
Its becoming easier and easier to fake things. All it needs is a decent gpu and an open source program.
Been fooled before by seemingly real images with near perfect lighting and high resolution. Its the noise patterns you need to look for.
Almost had me thinking AI. But I could be wrong.
Then again, AI has gotten so good that, with a little effort you can make something this convincing.
You can. I've encoded text in QR codes using both an android app and a desktop program.
Have fiber to home here in Arkansas in the US
Don't think I've ever seen one before.
