It's already infringed to near death in most states.... While very tattered, it's not quite so bad off as all that. The dirty little secret is that "assault weapons" are not the weapon of choice to use to overthrow a tyrannical government of the "democratic" (small "d") sort. Unless you mean "assault weapons" of the early 20th century. For details see "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" or "Unintended Consequences".
