In your opinion and/or definition, What is an "Assault Weapon"?

[bass bomber]

Any weapon a politician is trying to ban.

[Treestand]

That Name was given by(Germany)A.Hitler to a New Type Machine Gun during WWII(1943) and now a days the News "Meteor" Calls All Black,Brown..Semi/Auto Rifles Assault Weapons.

Assault is a behavior, not a object. so anything you can use to assault a person, baseball bat, snow shovel, .22 rifle, tire iron, anything that can be considered a weapon.

[AAM]

Technically an assault rifle/weapon is a firearm that has selective fire and fires an intermediate cartridge. But now it is an overuse term for any gun with a pistol grip or large mag.

[99explorer]

If it lacks fully automatic capability, it's not an assault rifle, no matter how many menacing features it has.

[AAM]

And that means that an AR is not assault weapon.

[pudgexl29]

An assault weapon is anything you can hurt another with. I can walk into my garage (where I keep no guns), and pick up 50+ different "assault weapons" and kill someone just as dead as with a gun.

And for all those people who think an AR is an Assault rifle is wrong. It actually stands for Armalite, the people who invented the style of weapon. I cant stand the people who think they stand for Assault Rifle.

Hi...


Assault weapons are the ones that are painted black and are qreatly over priced.

Assault Weapons, Machine Guns, Weapons of War, Cop Killer Bullets, Military Type Weapons, Weapons of Mass Destruction are terms used by the anti gun news media and the anti gun politicians to scared all the people in this country. If the media or the anti gun nuts said semi auto firearm it’s not as scary. It is a brilliant move by the anti gun camp to kept using those words because of the fear factor. It blows my mind when sportsmen on this site use same lingo as the antis.

An assault weapon is a firearm with selective fire that fires a mid-sized round. Or anything more advanced than a cap and ball rifle. The news media has confused my understanding of this matter.

Haha good one redfish. +1. As for my definition of assault weapons. Anything being used to harm another human durring the act. Note, its only an assault weapon during the act. I can assault someone with a pencile. Does that make the pencile dangerous while writing?

Ncarl

"pencile"? How about a "pencil"! LOL!
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Olin asked me to go help him with some errands. As a kid I respected and admired the old oil scout, but was puzzled by him getting into his car and pulling his pencil out of his pocket. When he got out of the car, he'd grab the pencil and put it back in his breast pocket on his shirt.
About the third time this transpired, I couldn't stand it so asked why the "routine" with the pencil.
A friend of his died in a car wreck. The only mark on the guy was where the pencil in his pocket had turned and stabbed him in the heart!
So, YEAH! Even a "pencile" can be an assault weapon!

An Assault Weapon doesn't exist!

It's a phrase a leftest focus group came up with back when they tried to ban AR15's
