How does the law in Maryland define the "civilian" variant, patterned on the original AR-15 design?

In the title they define as an assault WEAPON.  I posted definitions for you earlier. It uses assault long gun once and  then the article claims Maryland owners brought forward a case that challenged the law in 2020, arguing that they have a Second Amendment right to own common assault rifles.  Assault Weapon  is used multiple times.

No mention of assault rifle in reference to the MD Law.

Acknowledge you were answered.

An assault rifle is defined as a selective-fire firearm that fires an intermediate-power cartridge and is capable of both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. It typically uses a detachable magazine and is designed for military use. The term "assault rifle" is often used interchangeably with "assault weapon," but this is incorrect as "assault weapon" is a broader term that can include semi-automatic rifles.

The assault weapon you refer to is not a select fire weapon.
