a .223 caliber rifle is a HUNTING rifle, not an “assault weapon”.
You won’t get far with a .223 against automatic weapons.

Fox News called .223 a “high caliber” round. It is in fact pretty low as calibers go.

I have an AR-15 that uses .223 ammo. It is definitely not a hunting rifle. It is the same type used by the two homosexual DC snipers John Muhammad and Lee Malvo. It can do some damage.

a .223 caliber rifle is a HUNTING rifle, not an “assault weapon”.Sorry. I beg to differ:
.223 Bushmaster.
.223 Ruger Mini-14 Tactical.
Neither is meant to be used as a hunting rifle. There are better choices for hunting. Game that is.

An M-16, cal .223 (Nato 7.62mm) is most surely an assault weapon.

Like it or not, the exact phrase “assault weapon” was concocted and accepted by society to mean “military-styled large-capacity semiautomatic gun”, not to be confused with “assault rifle”. It’s in the modern popular lexicon. Get used to it. Getting pedantic just irritates most people.

.223 is used by the M16 assault rifle in the US arsenal.
