They don't have the same capabilities. One can fire full auto. That means they are not exactly the same.

That makes them different types of weapons, no selective fire switch.

Assault weapons/rifles have a selective fire switch, semi-auto rifles do not.

As for the Dr's working the ER, I doubt many of them have ever been in a war zone or patched up soldiers on front line. When they make those comments, the next question asked should be where they served. Many of them haven't been in the military.

Quote:

The AR-15 round, 5.56/.223 does not cause that type of damage to people. The much larger AK-47 round will cause that type of damage. It doesn't matter what type of rifle fired the round, it's the round itself that does all the damage. 7.65 rounds are larger than the .223/5.56 round and carry that much more kinetic energy.

@Baldimo,
An ak-47 is assault weapon whether it is automatic or semi-automatic. When the ak-47 were banned it was to ban the semi-automatic version of that weapon of war. Your definition is self-serving and is not the legal definition as the law banning ak-47 was the legal definition.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your online purchase of assault weapons can be done just as it was done by the El Paso mass murderer simply have it sent to your local gun store and let them complete the sale.

Federal and state laws define assault weapon as: referring primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shot guns that are able to accept detachable magazines and possess one or more other features.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
See the legal definition of assault weapons above.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The only thing anybody needs to know about those weapons of war is that they are used repeatedly in the most-deadly mass murderers.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The one thing most mass murderers have in common is that they are gun nuts. They worship at the alter of the gun. There is no way of knowing whether any NRA member was a mass murderer because the NRA keeps their membership list secret even the exact number is kept secret.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The problem is not the gun, the problem is how to get 900 rounds into the gun. You will notice when I list that figure that the manufacturer claims it is at a rate of 900 rounds a minute. That means that gun is capable of firing a 50-round clip in a little over three seconds.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The tracer rounds might not have been used but they were found in mass murderer’s hotel room it seems he had a lot more ammunition then he could use.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That is how mass murderers do it just shoot in the direction of the crowd.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have aimed a gun before and it takes time. Even a pistol takes time to aim.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The reason you have a pistol grip on an assault weapon is to allow you to fire it from other positions than the shoulder. There are surveillance footage of the mass murderers firing their weapons of war and they are not at their shoulder.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The pistol grip gives you a much better grip on the gun. It might not have much recoil but if it hits you 50 times it would begin to do damage.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Most of the killings in Chicago are criminal on criminal crimes on the other hand those killed with weapons of war are innocent victims of random murder for the sake of murder killings. Gang killings are done for a reason. Criminals have always killed other criminals.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I actually owned a gun 50 years ago and fired it many times. I know what it took to aim it. I finally realized how dangerous it was to have a gun in the house and sold it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It might only fire one round per trigger pull but I can pull the trigger an unlimited number of times. Your saying if you were in 10 foot of the broad side of a barn you could not hit the barn. The mass murderers are not 200 feet from their targets these killings are close up and personal. In most of these killings the shooter is within a few feet of his victims. Remember there is film of most of these mass murders and actual facts blow your theory out of the water.

The shooter in the pulse night club was standing close enough to the people he was killing that he could not miss again there is film.

You are wrong, it must have a selective fire switch. What you say is a valid definition, is a made up definition by anti-gun politicians.

Quote:

That is exactly what I said, they still have to go to an FFL licensed dealer to have the sale completed. You indicated before that it was just ordered online and sent to your house, which is a lie.

Quote:

That isn't true, majority of the shooters bought their guns for the shooting or stole them from their parents.

Quote:
They worship at the alter of the gun.

Once again, not true.

Quote:
There is no way of knowing whether any NRA member was a mass murderer because the NRA keeps their membership list secret even the exact number is kept secret.

The NRA might keep their membership private, but that doesn't mean the media wouldn't pick up on things found during the investigation. If any mass shooter was an NRA member, it would have been found and reported by the media. The NRA also reports that they have over 5 million members.

Quote:
The problem is not the gun, the problem is how to get 900 rounds into the gun.

You can't get 900 rounds into a gun, that's why the # you use is bullshit.

Quote:
You will notice when I list that figure that the manufacturer claims it is at a rate of 900 rounds a minute. That means that gun is capable of firing a 50-round clip in a little over three seconds.

If you can pull the trigger that fast, but you still need to have something to hold all the ammo, there is no device to do such a thing on the market. 100 round drums are the closest someone can get, and they are known to jam, just like they did with the Aurora shooter.

Quote:
I have aimed a gun before and it takes time. Even a pistol takes time to aim.

It takes a couple of seconds, unless you are blind.

Quote:

That is just plain wrong and you have zero proof of such things.

Quote:
There are surveillance footage of the mass murderers firing their weapons of war and they are not at their shoulder.

Provide a link to the video then. I've searched for such video and all I can find is people having the weapon up to their shoulder. There is no "shooting from the hip" as you claim.

Quote:
The pistol grip gives you a much better grip on the gun.

That is about the only thing you have said in this gun debate that is true.

Quote:
It might not have much recoil but if it hits you 50 times it would begin to do damage.

No it won't, it's a very small round with the same kick as about a .22LR. Heck they are pretty much the same round except the 5.56/223 has more powder. The AR15 is not going to cause damage to your shoulder if you fire it that many times, more lies. In basic training, Drill Sgt's will place the gun on their chin and fire it, to prove it has very little recoil. A standard day at the range in the Army is firing well over 50 rounds just to qualify. Stop the lies!

Quote:
Most of the killings in Chicago are criminal on criminal crimes on the other hand those killed with weapons of war are innocent victims of random murder for the sake of murder killings. Gang killings are done for a reason. Criminals have always killed other criminals.

Most of the people shot in Chicago are more than likely just as innocent as those who are shot in a mass shooting. When you have 28 people killed in the month of Sept and 128 shot, do you really think all those people are gang members?

This is along the line of bullshit you tried to sell a couple months back about the guy who defended his home against home invaders and you claimed he was a drug dealer. Keep casting those aspersions against people you don't know.

Quote:
I actually owned a gun 50 years ago and fired it many times. I know what it took to aim it. I finally realized how dangerous it was to have a gun in the house and sold it.

You likely had a little .38 Snub nose revolver. The gun wasn't dangerous, it was likely you who was dangerous with the weapon. Did you do a background check on the person who bought it? Hypocrite!

Quote:
It might only fire one round per trigger pull but I can pull the trigger an unlimited number of times.

You can only pull the trigger for the amount of ammo you have in the gun. Guns don't have unlimited ammo.

Quote:
Your saying if you were in 10 foot of the broad side of a barn you could not hit the barn.

I'm an excellent shot, qualified expert on many gun platforms while I was in the Army. Plus my dad was a Marine and a cop, so I learned to shoot from the best.

Quote:

Does this go for the Las Vegas shooting as well? He was at least 400 yards away.

Most people who visit the pathetic excuses for a debate know you are making up half the stuff you say. When you are you going to stop making stuff up and be honest about this debate?

@Baldimo,
You have the legal definition of assault weapons and it says otherwise.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Assault weapons are exactly what they are under the law.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The weapons have all the same capabilities one is operated manually. My 370Z can be ordered as an automatic or it can be operated manually. I prefer the manual transmission because I want to decide when to shift. Just because my 370Z has a manual transmission does not mean it is another type car. Same way with a corvette with a manual transmission it is still a corvette.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That does not change the fact that assault weapons are assault weapons whether they are manual or automatic.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That was the law of the land at one time and those very same assault weapons were banned and they will be again. Ninety percent of the public is now in favor of some form of gun control. It is you who is making things up trying to keep the streets full of weapons of war.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The NRA keeps it membership secret for a good reason. The most import qualification for a mass murderer is that he first be a gun nut. Most mass murderers are fascinated by guns. They just arrested 3 teenage girls here because they planned to shoot up their school.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The manufacture of the assault weapons writes the specifications for their assault weapons. If they are incorrect, they can be sued. The only reason that the Las Vegas shooter could not fire that many rounds is that no 900 round clips exists yet. That is the rate it fires at like taking your pulse for 15 seconds and doing the math to get your pulse rate.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tracer rounds were indeed found the Las Vegas shooter just had not got around to using them yet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That is how mass murderers do it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I spent time aiming a gun and it takes time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Most mass murderers were filmed by surveillance camera and someone in a bar standing within a few feet of his victims does not need to aim. This is not like deer hunting.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The pistol grip makes the gun much harder to take away.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Criminal have always killed other criminals but the general public is relatively safe from those killings and that is what is happening in Chicago. Mass Murderers target innocent people just to see how many people their assault weapons can kill. It is a whole different problem. You might even argue that criminals are doing a public service by killing other criminals.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sorry I owned a gun many years ago.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you are standing close enough to hit the victim over the head with your assault weapon you don’t need to aim.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is film of the shooting in Pulse night club and you can bet he was not aiming.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All you need to do is look at what weapons were used in the two most recent mass murders.

b) accept detachable magazines

c) fire rounds that are less powerful than a standard deer rifle, and

d) are effective at a range of 300 meters.


This means that semi-auto-only guns are not assault weapons.

This means that guns with fixed magazines are not assault weapons.

This means that guns that fire handgun/shotgun/rimfire rounds are not assault weapons.

This means that guns that fire rounds equal-to or greater-than the power of a standard deer rifle are not assault weapons.

If you are hunting with assault weapons you must want to kill the whole herd.

Assault weapons do not need bump stocks. Bump stocks were used on ordinary guns.

Because people from the left like you would harass their members.

The most import qualification for a mass murderer is that he first be a gun nut.

That just isn't the case, they have mental health issues, they are nuts but not gun nuts. A vast majority of these shooters have been on mental health drugs and usually come from single parent homes. Liking guns actually has nothing to do with their issues.

Quote:
Most mass murderers are fascinated by guns.

Do you have any proof to back up this claim? As usual, you are making things up as you go along.

They just arrested 3 teenage girls here because they planned to shoot up their school.

Is this the story? You live in CA now?

Quote:
The manufacture of the assault weapons writes the specifications for their assault weapons.

That is true, but you are confusing the cyclic rate with their fire rate. You would have to have unlimited supply of ammo and continue to pull the trigger as fast as you can for one minute. A person can't do this due to fatigue. The average fire rate for a semi-auto rifle is only about 60 rounds per minute.

Quote:
The only reason that the Las Vegas shooter could not fire that many rounds is that no 900 round clips exists yet.

He fired 1100 rounds in 10 minutes, this blows your claims out the window. Based on your claims, he should have fired 10,000 rounds and had a kill ratio of greater than 90%. That just isn't the case.

Quote:
Tracer rounds were indeed found the Las Vegas shooter just had not got around to using them yet.

You claimed they were used and you were wrong, admit it, stop trying to justify your BS.

Quote:
I spent time aiming a gun and it takes time.

It takes a couple of seconds to aim a gun, you seem to think it takes a couple of minutes. You are either slow or just wrong.

Quote:
Most mass murderers were filmed by surveillance camera and someone in a bar standing within a few feet of his victims does not need to aim. This is not like deer hunting.

Provide a link to the video footage you claim shows mass shooters shooting from the hip or drop the lie. You have to provide proof of claims or they are pure opinion and shouldn't be used as justification for gun laws.

Quote:
The pistol grip makes the gun much harder to take away.

More uneducated opinion?

Quote:
Criminal have always killed other criminals but the general public is relatively safe from those killings and that is what is happening in Chicago.

More of your BS. Are you claiming that the west and south sides of Chicago are filled with nothing but criminals? Gang members will shoot up anyone who is in the way of their target. Sure, they might be trying to kill a single person, but when they shoot 10 others, that is more than just criminals being killed, that's a lot of innocent people. All those gun laws are doing wonders in Chicago.

Quote:
Mass Murderers target innocent people just to see how many people their assault weapons can kill.

Wow, 2 true claims in 2 posts.

Quote:
It is a whole different problem. You might even argue that criminals are doing a public service by killing other criminals.

Except they aren't only killing other criminals, lots of innocent people get caught in the crossfire of a drive-by-shooting. Your a racist aren't you? Black people can kill black people in Chicago all they want to, it doesn't effect you.

Quote:
Sorry I owned a gun many years ago.

I'm sure your Saturday Night Special was a real threat to the neighborhood. It was likely a 5 shot .38, wasn't it?

Quote:
If you are standing close enough to hit the victim over the head with your assault weapon you don’t need to aim.

Except that's not how these shootings start is it?

Quote:
There is film of the shooting in Pulse night club and you can bet he was not aiming.

I watched the video, you can clearly see him pulling the gun to his shoulder. You need to watch it again, you don't seem to understand what you are watching.

Three billion North American birds have vanished since 1970, surveys show

By Elizabeth Pennisi
Sep. 19, 2019

North America's birds are disappearing from the skies at a rate that's shocking even to ornithologists. Since the 1970s, the continent has lost 3 billion birds, nearly 30% of the total, and even common birds such as sparrows and blackbirds are in decline, U.S. and Canadian researchers report this week online in Science. "It's staggering," says first author Ken Rosenberg, a conservation scientist at the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology. The findings raise fears that some familiar species could go the way of the passenger pigeon, a species once so abundant that its extinction in the early 1900s seemed unthinkable.

The results, from the most comprehensive inventory ever done of North American birds, point to ecosystems in disarray because of habitat loss and other factors that have yet to be pinned down, researchers say. Yet ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, who has been warning about shrinking plant and animal populations for decades, sees some hope in this new jolt of bad news: "It might stir needed action in light of the public interest in our feathered friends."

In past decades, Ehrlich and others have documented the decline of particular bird groups, including migratory songbirds. But 5 years ago, Rosenberg; Peter Marra, a conservation biologist now at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.; and their colleagues decided to take a broader look at what is happening in North America's skies. They first turned to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, an annual spring census carried out by volunteers across Canada and the United States, which has amassed decades of data about 420 bird species. The team also drew on the Audubon Christmas Bird Count for data on about 55 species found in boreal forests and the Arctic tundra, and on the International Shorebird Survey for trends in shorebirds such as sandpipers and plovers. Aerial surveys of water bodies, swamps, and marshes filled out the picture for waterfowl. All together, they studied 529 bird species, about three-quarters of all species in North America, accounting for more than 90% of the entire bird population.

"I frankly thought it was going to be kind of a wash," Rosenberg says. He expected rarer species would be disappearing but common species would be on the rise, compensating for the losses, because they tend to be generalists, and more resilient. Indeed, waterfowl and raptors are thriving, thanks to habitat restoration and other conservation efforts. But the declines in many other species, particularly those living along shorelines and in grasslands, far exceeded those gains, Rosenberg and his colleagues report. Grassland birds have declined by 53% since 1970--a loss of 700 million adults in the 31 species studied, including meadowlarks and northern bobwhites. Shorebirds such as sanderlings and plovers are down by about one-third, the team says. Habitat loss may be to blame.

The familiar birds that flock by the thousands in suburbs were not exempt. "There's an erosion of the numbers of common birds," Rosenberg says. His team determined that 19 common species have each lost more than 50 million birds since 1970. Twelve groups, including sparrows, warblers, finches, and blackbirds, were particularly hard hit. Even introduced species that have thrived in North America, such as starlings and house sparrows, are losing ground.

"When you lose a common species, the impact will be much more massive on the ecosystem and ecosystem services," says Gerardo Ceballos, an ecologist and conservation biologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City. "It's showing the magnitude of the problem."

Some of the causes may be subtle. Last week, toxicologists described how low doses of neonicotinoids--a common pesticide--made migrating sparrows lose weight and delay their migration, which hurts their chances of surviving and reproducing. Climate change, habitat loss, shifts in food webs, and even cats may all be adding to the problem, and not just for birds. "There's general ecosystem collapse that could be happening here," Marra says.

Weather radar data revealed similarly steep declines. Radar detects not just rain, but also insect swarms and flocks of birds, which stand out at night, when birds usually migrate. "We don't see individual birds, it's more like a big blob moving through airspace," explains Cornell migration ecologist Adriaan Dokter. He converted "blobs" from 143 radar stations into biomass. Between 2007 and 2017, that biomass declined 13%, the Science paper reports. The greatest decline was in birds migrating up the eastern United States. "It's an independent data set that confirms the other work," says Nicole Michel, a population biologist with the National Audubon Society's Conservation Science Division in Portland, Oregon.

"We want this to be the real wake-up call," Rosenberg says. The recovery of eagles and other raptors after the U.S. ban on the insecticide DDT in 1972 shows that when the cause of a decline is removed, "the birds come back like gangbusters." This time around, reversing habitat loss--from the conversion of grasslands for biofuel crops or coastal development, for example--could help stabilize populations.

Concurrent with the paper, a coalition of conservation groups has come up with policy recommendations and an action plan for citizens. Simple steps, such as keeping cats indoors or planting native plants, can help, Rosenberg says. "I am not saying we can stop the decline of every bird species, but I am weirdly hopeful."

@oralloy,
If you laid the automatic version and a semi-automatic version of the ak-47 on a table side by side most people could not tell the difference without firing them.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The automatic version of assault weapons were already under control when the law banning the sale of assault weapons was written in 1994. The law was written specifically to stop the sale of the semi-automatic version of assault weapons like the ak-47s.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The definition is the law of the land.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are still sticking with your version of reality but a corvette that is manually shifted is still a corvette and a semi-automatic assault weapon is still an assault weapon.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you Google “where to buy an assault weapon” all that you find is pictures of semi-automatic assault weapons.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That is as fraudulent as saying that a corvette with a manual transmission is not a Corvette.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You will never convince people that a corvette with a manual transmission is not a corvette or that an assault weapon with a manual firing mechanism is not an assault weapon.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you have so many rounds aiming is a waste of time and very hazardous to your health.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Akron mass murderer proves you wrong he fired 30 rounds in thirty seconds there is no way possible he could have aimed thirty times I thirty seconds.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Even a traditional rifle could be fired without bothering to aim. With enough rounds aiming is a waste of time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have seen stills of mass murderers holding their guns taken from surveillance cameras. I am sure some of the footage is available somewhere on the web. You can search as easily as I can.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you try to wrap your hand around a rifle it is difficult that is why so many hunters kill their buddies when they drop their guns.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
America is absolutely saturated with assault weapons according to Colt.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All you need do is search. A simple search for “surveillance footage of mass murders in 2019” returned film of Dayton mass murder. The shooter does not appear in the clips I watched but you hear the gun fire and see the crowd hitting the ground. The one search returned ten internet pages and it was for just 2019.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is no doubt 100,000 internet pages of surveillance footage of mass murders all it takes is time.

Incorrect analogy. A better analogy would be buying a Corvette with a different engine that has a governor on it. Sure, it's still a Corvette, but it isn't as fast as the racing version, since it is restricted.

Quote:

The legal definition is made up, so it should have no weight on our 2nd Amendment. It's the only Amendment that says shall not be infringed.

Quote:
You can say blue is really red a thousand times but it won’t change the fact that blue is not red and you can say manually operated assault weapons are not assault weapons but it won’t make it so.

It's actually your side of the aisle that is claiming something that is blue is actually red. Semi-auto rifles do not have selective fire switches. That's the definition of an assault rifle, everything else is made up to limit a right.

Quote:

Many? How many exactly, I'd bet that less than 20% of Doctors have served in the military. Considering less than 10% of the population have served in the military, I might be being generous with the 20% of Doctors.

Quote:

There are not as many Dr's who served in the military as you think there are. As usual, you over inflate your own "stats" to make a point you can't prove.

Quote:

I didn't deny it was an AK, I only doubted your knowledge on how it was acquired. He had to go to a gun shop to get the weapon, you can't legally get guns shipped to your house.

Quote:

No, there is no such thing as an assault weapon, it's a made up definition by the left to ban a very common form of sporting rifle.

Quote:

I live in Colorado, when was this shooting? I did a search and found a shooting in Colorado Springs in 1993 at a bar, but nothing in the story indicated it was a shooting with a modified semi-auto rifle and the man who did the shooting was acquitted of the shooting since it was self-defense.

I'm still waiting for you to provide any proof of this mass shooting modified weapon claim. You won't find any proof, because it hasn't happened, just like you can't prove any mass shooter was an NRA member.

They didn't make anything up. There are differences between military weapons and sporting rifles.

Here's what your NRA says:

Quote:

Assault Rifle:

By U.S. Army definition, a selective-fire rifle chambered for a cartridge of intermediate power. If applied to any semi-automatic firearm regardless of its cosmetic similarity to a true assault rifle, the term is incorrect.


I can accept that definition. And semi-autos based on modified assault weapon technology and designed to resemble them are referred to as "assault-styled" or "military-styled".
