Depends on what one is defining an "assault rifle". The most common definition used by the news media can be a semi-automatic hunting rifle with aftermarket parts on it. The term "assault rifle" is a dishonest attempt by certain people to influence a certain reaction in people.
- anexprogrammer 11y agoFrom wikipedia "Type 56 assault rifle". The title of the page that loaded when I followed a link from the wiki page on the Hungerford shooting. Far as I knew it was the correct name. I am not attempting to influence any reaction. Are wikipedia?
- talmand 11y agoI said news media. But assault rifle is a made up term for political reasons. I don't fault wikipedia for trying to explain it.
