Original Note:
The origin of “assault weapon” stems from the term “assault rifle,” which the U.S. Army defines explicitly as a selective-fire rifle chambered for a cartridge of intermediate power. The term “assault rifle” only applies to automatic, not semi-auto firearms. https://www.nraila.org/the-truth-about-so-called-assault-weapons/
