I guess so they have gotten almost all .223s labeled as assualt weapons.

I have never seen .223's referred to as "assault weapons"...is this peculiar to the west coast?

Out here, having a silver crayon in a kid's Sesame Street backpack is about enough to call in the fuzz.

Acually I meant 5.56 I was thinking something else when I wrote this.

It's not the caliber which makes it an assault weapon; it's the design.
My H&K .223 is an assault weapon.
