"Assault weapon refers to different types of firearms, and is a term that has differing meanings and usages."
So until it's defined how you can ban it?
For purposes of THIS discussion, assault weapon has already been defined.
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stock
Pistol grip
Bayonet mount
Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
Grenade launcher (more precisely, a muzzle device that enables launching or firing rifle grenades, though this applies only to muzzle mounted grenade launchers and not those mounted externally).
Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
Barrel shroud that can be used as a hand-hold
Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
A semi-automatic version of a fully automatic firearm.
Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stock
Pistol grip
Fixed capacity of more than 5 rounds
Detachable magazine.
now certainly we can debate if those definitions are correct, but we can't debate whether the term has been defined or not. It's right there in black and white.
Federal Assault Weapons Ban - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So the old cosmetic definitions
Because a flash suppressor and pistol grip make it easy to kill higher numbers of people
The old definition was bullshit, and to re-use it again is bullshit
What the fuck are you even talking about? Did you read where I wrote that I am opposed to banning ANYTHING? That doesn't negate the fact that assault weapon has already been defined.
And read again where I further said yes we can debate whether the definition is correct or not, but obviously it exists.
God stupid people just kill me.
