The issue with what defines an assault rifle is that it is an arbitrary line. Opponents of gun control argue that the definitions used to define the term are cosmetic and hold no real value. This is why they tend to focus on the idea of the giggle switch being the determining factor as that is what differentiates the civilian versus military versions of the weapons. I, personally, don't know how much I agree with that, but I understand why they use that as the deciding factor as it is more than a cosmetic variance.
