>While some pro-gun advocates fear this may lead to a push to confine guns and self-defense only to the home, others believe this points to a new trend of redefining entire classes of firearms as "assault weapons."

I am so tired of the ignorance of the American public.

An assault weapon, by definition, is capable of semi-automatic and/or automatic fire.

Assault weapon

People this stupid don't deserve freedom.

“An assault weapon, by definition, is capable of semi-automatic and/or automatic fire.”

The “or” implies a semi-automatic weapon is an assault weapon which it is not.

An assault weapon, by definition, is capable of sustained or short-burst automatic fire as the main function with Semi-auto fire as a secondary, optional, function.

I'll take the M-1 Carbine with the paratrooper stock, please. Do you have extra magazines for that?
