Remember the " Saturday Night Special " handgun bans and attempted bans of the 60's ???
Just like this one, the term is not clearly defined.
It was so vague some even included the excellent and well-made Walther PPK from Germany.
For everyone else, this is the famous James Bond gun.
This is their tactic. Throw out a broad, scary generic name for a gun so you can scare people into banning it.
When actually, few weapons fit the narrow definition in the first place.
My definition of an "assault rifle " is...
1. Used and issued by a nation's military...AND...
a. is select fire. You get to select if you want full auto, burst, or semi-auto.
b. it fires an intermediate round. Not a full power rifle round such as the 7.62 NATO, or the Russian 7.62R....and NOT a pistol caliber either. It is INTERMEDIATE in power between the two.
c. ect...ect...ect... with other technical stuff.
THE hard left gun banner's definition of an " assault rifle " is.....
IT SCARES ME TO LOOK AT IT !!!
If they are scared when they look at it, then it is an "assault rifle".
I played with this when i was a kid. The Johnny 7 OMA (One Man Army)
Look at all the damage this bad boy can do...
