Definition of "assault weapon"?

[sniper_tim]

CA and maybe some other states/municipalities still have a legal definition of an assault rifle or weapon. The dictionary has a similiar definition as provided by circuits, but ultimately I agree with sniper7, the definintions were probably driven by after the fact media frenzy. I doubt that someone woke up one day and decided to create an "assault weapon". The key is that it includes "military" or "designed for military" in the definition. That is a big clue that anti-gun douche bags wrote the definition to imply and bolster their argument that it is not for civilian usage.

I agree with sniper7. There is no such thing as an "Assault Rifle"

I can sharpen a toothbrush, stab you with it, and that could be described as an assault weapon. Because I assaulted you.

No, there emphatically is such a thing as an "Assault Rifle". It is an "assault weapon" which exists only as a bogus legal definition.
