So normally when people are talking about assault rifles they think they are talking about assault weapons (or vice versa), which is a almost meaningless term used by the government and gun control groups. Just read the intro paragraph on Wikipedia to see what I mean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon If we want an actual intelligent conversation about gun control we need to stop using stupid terms such as assault weapon, and maybe even assault rifle. We need to talk about concrete attributes not some abstract class of weapons a said gun belongs to.
