Regarding the use of the term "assault rifles" in this For Sale thread
https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/posts/9055482/

These are guns that met the technical definition of "Assault Rifle" as it existed in federal law, 1994-2004, but were grandfathered-in and not banned due to being made prior to the ban's effective date.
Since that's what makes these guns extra-special (and extra expensive!) according to the seller, it's fair for the seller to use the terminology that the federal law used during the AWB years.

YOU are confused. Those are rifles deemed ASSAULT WEAPONS and banned between 1994 and 2004. Assault Rifles were not addressed in the legislation.

Before you say but that is wiki, read the words Assault Weapon yourself right out of the bill, title XI

https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/3355/text

Notice the title there. ASSAULT WEAPON.

The terms are similar but they are not the same.

As far as I know there is no definition for assault rifle in law. There is no need since they would be covered under the definition of machine gun.

I guess if you intend to use it as a club or poke something with it, then, it is in fact an assault weapon.

I could care less,they can call them liberal destroyers if they want to.

Says more about the seller than the rifle

Bingo.

The only thing my SP1s and other pre-'89 rifles have assaulted is my budget.

What say you ?

Semi autos are not Assault rifles !

We should not be helping the left spread these lies here on the ODT !

If it were my board, I'd ban the use of the term assault rifle or anything like it unless it were a legal fully auto weapon. Don't feed the media and lefties.
