I have to disagree with this.  AR's have been defined as "Assault Weapons" in various legislation. The term itself, is rather meaningless, gun people know this.  Heck, for that matter, semi-auto is just as meaningless; so is the term "Automatic".  Reference "Colt 45 Automatic pistol".......which is NOT an automatic.

I understand what you are saying.  Yes, legislation once Established what is an assault weapon.  Based on looks, not function.  By those who are not gun people.

What people don’t understand is once you strip away the flash suppressor, the rails, the hand grip, or the bayonet mount all you have is semi auto that fires an intermediate power cartridge once for each trigger pull.

Like a Ruger mini 14 ranch,
