Ragbourn said the term "assault weapon" was coined by the gun industry years ago as a marketing tool.

You are, I am sure, aware that the term "assault rifle" is a time-honored and specific term referring to a rifle-caliber firearm with selective fire. "Assault weapon" is the term in question here. Do your magazines reference "assault weapons" or "assault rifles"? If the former I shall stand corrected.
