I am told the Semi Automatic that is sometimes called an Assault Weapon is one of the most awesome killing machines around.

Keep in mind Assault weapon is a made up term by the gunophobes. They can't use Assault Rifle because that basically is defined as a lightweight, select fire automatic rifle that fires an intermediate cartridge.

The term Assault weapons was not a “made up term by the gunphobes”
It was how the AR was marketed by the gun manufacturers
It was a **** up on their part
The gun grabbers took the label and ran with it
