It's official, Obama is coming after your guns

It has to do with Pistol Grips, Bayonet Lugs, Detatch Box Mags, Barrel devices, and Butt stocks.

A Broadened Category of Assault Weapons

While civilian ownership of automatic weapons has been heavily regulated in the U.S. since 1934, most semi-automatic weapons remained legal until 1994.

The AWB defined a broad category of semi-automatic rifles, handguns and shotguns with military-style characteristics as being “assault weapons.” The law made it illegal to make those weapons in the U.S. for a 10-year period. In 2004, the AWB expired when Congress did not vote to renew it. As a result, it became legal to produce and own those firearms once again.

In general, the AWB defined any firearm with a detachable magazine and at least two of certain other characteristics as an assault weapon.

For rifles, those characteristics included:

Telescoping stock
Pistol grip
Bayonet mount
Grenade launcher
Flash suppressor
For shotguns:

Telescoping stock
Pistol grip
A capacity to hold more than five rounds
For handguns:

Threaded barrels made to attach a barrel extender, handgrip or flash suppressor
A barrel shroud that can be used as a handhold
Weight of at least 50 oz. when unloaded
Nineteen models of firearms were specifically named in the legislation as assault weapons, while other models were included under the umbrella of the law’s definition of assault weapons.

I still don't see why you keep linking me definitions of Assault Weapons when you clearly can't discern the difference between it and Assault Rifle.

those things come to mind when thinking of an assault rifle not whether or not it has selective fire but then again, this is coming from experiences in Real-life and not internet definitions.

Obviously takes a genius to understand words. I mean, it's not like kids in the 2nd grade are having to learn definitions of words and phrases because that's top level stuff reserved for people in the field. Those are the people that bring us back definitions from the forefront of chaos and war.
