"Assault rifles" are real, and ownership by civilians is already banned - well, they're partially restricted, anyway - by law. They are fully-automatic, military-only (with two exceptions), and have a very specific definition that the military carefully documents. But "assault weapons," on the other hand, do not exist. That's a nebulous (completely without definition) and fictitious term. Several years ago, a Democrat anti-gun politician pulled it out of thin air - or his anal orifice - for the sole public-relations purpose of scaring people with little/no actual knowledge of firearms.
Responsible members of the firearms community should be very careful with those two terms, and never use them interchangeably.
Perhaps I am a right winged extremist idk, but my interpretation of the second amendment has nothing to do with hunting. My interpretation is, I have the same right (duty) to possess any weapons my government has inorder to defend my self and the Constitution against said government.
