Original Note:
"Assault-type" is a term with no true definition, often used by political lobbyists to mislead individuals. The synonymous term "Assault Weapon" was popularized in 1988 in order to purposefully mislead the public into believing certain firearms were excessively dangerous. https://www.vpc.org/studies/awaconc.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon
