"An M1 Carbine is an assault rifle?"

Actually it's one of the few one the list that really is an assault rifle. After all, it was designed for combat troops. Now the last time I heard it was used in the commission of a crime was.... nope, it hasn't been; just as most others on the list haven't. This is the red herring that the leftists use to disarm the American people of weapons that actually could be useful against government troops. The very weapons protected by the 2nd amendment! The term "bear arms" is only used in a military/combat-against-Man context. (You do not "bear arms" against a deer in the woods!)

NOTHING on that list is an "assault rifle". An assault rifle is a selective (full or semi-automatic) fire military weapon. Deliberately confusing the two in the eyes of the general public and even many gun owners is one of the gun banners great accomplishments (in their eyes).

An M1 Carbine is an assault rifle???

no, but it is an "assault WEAPON" per D(v). semi-auto, detachable (hi cap) magazine and a barrel "shroud."

"An M1 Carbine is an assault rifle???":

Read 'definitions' under (L).

I don't expect many bureaucrats think your DCM Garand is 'suitable for sporting purposes'.

Especially as it goes on to say:
In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.

(sure glad I resisted the temptation to put a pistol grip on my Krag.)
