How easy is it to build an "assault rifle"...

Assault weapons:

a) are capable of either full-auto or burst-fire,

b) accept detachable magazines,

c) fire rounds that are less powerful than a standard deer rifle, and

d) are effective at a range of 300 meters.


This means that semi-auto-only guns are not assault weapons.

This means that guns with fixed magazines are not assault weapons.

This means that guns that fire rounds equal-to or greater-than the power of a standard deer rifle are not assault weapons.

This means that guns that fire handgun/shotgun/rimfire rounds are not assault weapons.

 

The term was coined by the Germans in WWII.

 

It can be used to materially mischaracterize someone post by removing the full context. As far as where it's written, ask a mod.

 

You know what they say, alteration "twix are made for kids" and yeah, there are a lot of kids on PF.

 

Thanks for the effort and your definition.
