I call an assault rifle a fullly automatic weapon, only available to the military, police, and holders of a special federal license.I think the we and the gun industry do ourselves a dis-service by playing into the fraud thet a simi-automatic weapon is an “assault rifle”.

Some of them don't have full-auto capability any more. Some never did (the M-1 Carbine, lots of original WW II SKS's).
