Its a political term, not a gun term. Would it be that difficult for one of our senators to redefine it? The general public thinks they are full-auto rifles. The majority don't know a thing about evil features.
Assault Rifle:
A rifle designed for no other purpose than assault, that uses high power rounds that have no other purpose than killing humans, capable of firing such rounds in fully automatic mode, and using magazines with more rounds than the standard capacity of modern sport riles.
All this nonsense about grips, bayonet lugs, adjustable stocks, barrel length, normal capacity magazines, flash suppressors, and so forth are meaningless to John Q public. John Q public believes that assault rifles are fully automatic weapons that take plutonium tipped projectiles. Shouldn't we agree with them and redefine the term? I doubt there would be resistance.
If you redefine the term to describe what it implies, there would not be such a misconception about any rifle currently on the market and readily available for purchase.
The democrats are assaulting the 2nd amendment from so many angles to see what sticks, why isn't there an equal backlash?
