Yes, a simple, brief one or two sentence, extra precise definition. Anything longer and it might open doors for further definition/inclusion "creep".

And, IIRC the original definition of an "assault rifle" is that of a light rifle that is switchable between auto and semi-automatic fire, n'est ce pas? Corrections invited.

“What is the actual definition of an “assault rifle”?”

When the Feds buy them for themselves....they are called “personal defense weapons” in the RFP’s.

And in their hands, they are indeed “weapons of war”.

I have asked this to dozens of anti gun liberals. Their response is always… “ No one needs one”.
Again I say the difference can be $200 worth of plastics.
I have even said. “ Does stripes and a comfortable seat make a car get better mileage”
To which I get looks of total confusion
