Agreed on all points. I just tried to keep my response concise for the "non gun people" here.
And for the last point I know states have defined the term individually. However the ATF has never issued a letter defining "assault weapon" like they have for other grey area weapon classifications. So it's just a hodgepodge of messy rules random states have (mostly based on cosmetic features).
- dragonwriter 10y agoI don't know anyone who has ever used a firearm who, outside of the context of political debate on gun control, would describe butt stocks, pistol grips, foregrips, attachment points for accessories, grenade or flare launchers, or detachable box magazines (which are many of the typical features used in determining "assault weapons") as cosmetic features rather than ones with a substantial impact on use and function.
