define assault weapon.....
an ar15 is NOT an assault weapon
define (you want a ban/regulation) of what an assault weapon is
everyone of these ? is was an ar15 could have....with the exception of caliber size (and even that too)
is it caliber size
is it magazine(round storage) size
is it semi-auto
is it a handguard to protect the hands from a hot barrel
is it that it can have a scope mounted
is it that it can have a bipod mounted
is it because its (as the rolling stones said) Painted Black
nearly everyone of those option is available on nearly every weapon...to include handguns
the only one that is not available on nearly every weapon is: and its NOT available on the ar15 without an ILLEGAL mod....is it full auto
the ar15 is available:
in different calibers
in different magazine(round storage) size
in different styles of handguard to protect the hands from a hot barrel
in different scope mounts
in different bipod mounted
in different colors
nearly every rifle has those different options,,,over 65% of ALL rifles are semi
so if YOU are going to say BAN assault weapons LIKE the ar15...you are meaning nearly all rifles....AND HANDGUNS...... so make a definition otherwise you ARE SAYING ban them all..including handguns and pump shotguns
so which is it ...ban an UNDEFINED set of weapons(which really means ban all).. or maintain our constitutional rights that shall no be infringed
