They mean AR15s and their equivalents, because their owners are the impediment to their totalitarian plans.
The now expired 1994 modern weapons ban covered a lot more than just Eugene Stoner’s little black rifle.
An “assault weapon” is anything they can scare people with by claiming it has a “military appearance”.
A “sniper rifle”, which they also want to ban, is anything to which glass sights could be attached.
Make no mistake: These people want to ban and take ALL FIREARMS. Every last one, no exceptions.
Plan accordingly.
