[edit] Originator of term Assault weapon

The term Assault weapon was in use at least in a minor way in the early 80's among a few gun enthusiasts, as it appeared in some ads in gun publications. Josh Sugarmann simply co-opted the term in the late 80's. I've added a citation template after this reference in the article. Please prove me wrong. Gregmg 20:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

User VIOPOL was gracious enough to fill the void and provide a reference for uses of "Assault Weapon" that predate Josh Sugarmann's 1988 study. I removed the aforementioned citation request. Gregmg 03:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sugarmann.jpg

Image:Sugarmann.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
