These clowns have redefined everything this side of a peashooter as an “assault weapon”, for the purpose of imposing as much gun control as possible.
If it cannot be fired in automatic mode, it is NOT an assault weapon! (Yes, 3 round bursts count)
There is NO SUCH THING as an “assault weapon”. If someone is whacked with a stick or a rock that was picked up off the ground, did the stick assault you or the person weilding it? A weapon cannot assault you, only other people can.
NPR and other MSM outlets keep referring to “automatic” weapons.
