They should have added the question: “Can you define what an ‘Assault Weapon’ is?
thats the big ?? that no one can answer correctly because there is no correct answer.
They would probably answer ‘a weapon that causes an assault’.
Suzy soccer mom doesn't give a damn what the pedantic definition of an assault weapon is. She'll ask, "Does it look like an army gun?" and if yes, she'll support banning it.
The next assault weapon ban isn't going to make the same mistakes as the '94 one did in focusing on flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, pistol grip stocks, and all that minutia that gun manufacturers simply eliminated. It'll go straight to the crux: Is it a semi-auto with a detachable magazine? It's on the ban list.
