Newflash - you're not helping.
I always try to explain that an assault rifle is an actual thing, give a definition, and examples. Then I let them know the made up term is "assault weapon". I also let them know a gun controller came up with that term to purposely confuse people to get more support to ban semi-automatic rifles and carbines. But I do agree Andy, it is very exasperating to have to explain that.
