I am not certain on this but I think the main concern with Assualt Rifles is that they are easy to convert to fully auto. I have only handled a few so I am not sure if this goes for all of them but there are kits and/or methods to making the ones I have handled fully auto.

This is far from true, I have done gunsmithing for years and can assure you it isn't as easy to convert to fully auto as most people think. Take a ar 15 for instance, this requires an entirely new receiver to be fully automatic. Check out the difference between a fully automatic m-16 receiver and a semi automatic ar-15 receiver. They are nothing alike. Some guns like the mac-10 are able to be made fully automatic without a ton of work, but theirs a big difference between that and a ar-15 rifle. And I think we are sitting at what 80 million american's owning guns? The gubment of obama will have his hands full if he tries to tackle that task.
And before someone mentions it, yes I know about slidefire, but that is not fully automatic and is very hard control and be accurate since you cant shoot the rifle in its normal manner.
And the 223 round is okay, but its nothing to write home about. It carries a pretty decent trajectory for about 150 to 200 yards without a lot of drop, but its not a very large round. Its cheaper then most larger rifle rounds but it doesnt hold water to say a 7.62 round when it comes to effect and stopping power. Just my 2 cents.
