This seems like the thread to discuss this. What exactly is an "assault weapon"? Most of the media that uses the term have no clue about firearms in general, much less being able to adequately answer this question. In CA the answer is particularly stupid because this;

Why is one an "assault weapon" and the other not? An effing pistol grip, that's why. Also, the AR is black and black guns are scarier and more assaulty.
Given the choice I'd prefer to get shot with a 5.56 than a 7.62X51 any day.
