I know what you’re getting at, but I think “legally” those are simply designated as a pistol. Maybe in California their could be some laws that include absurd adjectives though.

an assault pistol

An assault pistol was used to destroy an entire American carrier task force in 2006.

I guess any pistol used in an assault becomes an Assault Pistol, by definition.
Plus it sounds scarier in the obligatory gun control debate that must always follow shootings.

I think we’re way past the point of merely laughing at leftwing political/journalistic ignorance and well into recognizing that this is all deliberate propaganda aimed at herding the American sheep into the pens to be shorn and slaughtered. That may seem like a statement from the desk of Captain Obvious, but it needs to be stated clearly and often: the media is not mistaken - THE MEDIA IS LYING ALL THE TIME.

No! No! No! Not an assault pistol. It was a Salt Pistol. You know, one that shoots salt.

Perhaps an assault pistol is what one uses in salt water?

What in the hell is an "assault pistol"???

It's a bad gun ... and since all guns are bad, ANY pistol is an "assault pistol". A .22LR Ruger Single Six is an "assault pistol". Just ask the ignorant leftist poltroons in Big Media. They'll tell you all about it.

A Tec-9?
That is the only thing I can think of that the hoplophobic ignoramouses of the Left could call an “assault pistol.”

And FWIW, SBR’s are illegal in CA.

I'm sure. I think ATF looks at these as pistols. Just don't hook a collapsible stock to it.

That's impressive....he violated all of Cooper's 4 Rules:

1. All guns are always loaded.

2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Please tell me this is a still from Hollywood.
