Are you down in Beaufort, SC, sharing tales of Guadalcanal with local Marines?
Looks like they just banned M 16s. By definition Semi Auto Long Rifles are not Assault Rifles by definition.

but
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
