Original Note:
Assault weapons are defined as those that can switch to full-automatic fire mode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle Full-automatic fire guns were made illegal for citizens to own in 1986 in the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_Owners_Protection_Act Therefore there is no need to ban assault weapons are they are already banned.
