Re: Article on Slippery Definitions of "Assault Weapon"

The best definition of an "Assault Weapon" the gun grabbers want to ban is from the 2004 Federal Report: "Updated Assessment of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban: Impacts on Gun Markets and Gun Violence, 1994-2003"

Assault Weapons are weapons rarely used in gun crime.
AWs were rarely used in gun crimes even before the ban...Should it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement...it is not clear how often the outcomes of gun attacks depend on the ability of offenders to fire more than ten shots (the current magazine capacity limit) without reloading.
So why ban weapons rarely used in crime? The private ownership of arms = democracy. A ban on "military-style weapons" is a direct assault on democracy and our Constitutional rights.
