In theory, any firearm could be considered an'assault' weapon, as it can be used to attack. Assault means 'to attack'. Sneaky lib language in that thar bill.

What part of 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed' do these people not understand?

"In theory, any firearm could be considered an'assault' weapon..."

However, in FACT, the US Army has a pure definition of "assault weapon" and that is any firearm carried by a single infantryman (that is to say, not "crew served") which has a selector switch so the weapon can fire on full auto mode or burst mode. That's why an M16 is a true assault weapon while the civilian model AR15 is not! A simple silly little selector switch. Duh.

Question for you. What if the new HR 2038 passes and gun manufacturers are stopped from making "post ban" weapons?

Would we have to turn in our XM 15's (that is if we actually had one or two or so)?

Thanks
