I’m sure you know this.
“Assault weapon” does not mean “assault rifle,” which fits your description.
It means a scary looking semi-auto firearm with magazine loading.
I do have a question for the many gun experts on this forum. Do the features they use to define “assault weapons,” such as detachable stocks or forward grips, really make such a weapon that much more effective at mass killing of people, as opposed to a weapon with the same mechanism and magazine in a more “civilian” look?
Is there some reason these cosmetic features actually make it all that much easier to kill people?
The answer to both of your questions is no.
