Term coined by Violence Policy Center head Josh Sugarmann to describe cililian semiautomatic firearms with a military or fearsome appearance, yet no more lethality than lesser weapons. Derived from the term "assault rifle", which means a fully automatic, selective fire rate firearm used my military and police personnel.
"Assault weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons --anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun-- can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons."

(Invernesian origin): Adjective used to describe something that is really agreeable. The "eh" is either added by Invernesian people for extra emphasis because they lack expressive ability, or because they have speech impediments, or because they're really insecure and it's a question, "eh?" and they need reaffirmation for everything they say.
Inverness is fucking weapon eh?!
No mate, it's really not, don't live there unless you're growing up, raising a family, or growing up, it's like being trapped in a timeless void.

An amorphous term coined by those who support gun control. Applied to semi-automatic weapons that cosmetically resemble fully automatic firearms.
When gun manufacturers began making these so-called assault weapons without the things that made them look menacing, the gun grabbers cried that a "loophole" was found. Well, duh...they would be the last to see that the changes were cosmetic in nature.

The best gender that is way better than being a normal toaster, to be a weaponized toaster you must have eaten toast, made toast, have a weapon, not identify yourself as a male or female, and make toaster sounds.
I heard you where a weaponized toaster Ryan
Yes being a weaponized toaster is great, it is the best gender you should be a weaponized toaster too.

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.
