Original Note:
Assault weapon was a term made by politicians who wanted to strip our rights away. To do so they labeled regular rifles as ‘assault weapons’ because they were black, militaristic looking, scary, etc. Having this said, yes there are fire arms that aren’t Assault weapons. https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-non-assault-weapon-Are-there-any-examples-of-non-assault-rifles-or-non-assault-handguns
