A term created for the 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban," which banned firearms based on appearance, brand name, and features not related to firearm function. A proper definition of this word requires the entire 1994 act, so feel free to look it up.
History:
The term "assault weapon" has no industry or military definition. It was created to give a single name to all of the firearms politicians wanted to ban in 1994. Opponents of the 1994 ban refer to it more accurately as the "Semi-Auto" ban.

Any firewarm that is made out to look scary so that banning the civilian posession of it will appear politically correct to hypocritical sycophants who think that only governments and criminals should have guns and that fascist police states that arbitrarily massacre their own citizens are the best thing since sliced bread.

Typical Media reporting cramming a one side contrived opinion to the masses differrent than main stream American
opinion.
opinion.
The "Assault Media" describes Assault Weapon is used as any gun that looks like a military weapon even if is not a full automatic weapon. Inaccurate and hyped reporting with out true knowledge of facts.

1, technical definition) According to the Oxford English dictionary, an assault rifle is "a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use." While most of them are legal in the US assault rifles are hard to obtain. They are also very expensive to operate with the ammo and maintenance, and take skill to use effectively. "Assault rifle" is a highly technical term and only applies to a handful of guns.
2, Democrat definition) Any large gun that looks scary.
