The term is predominately used by gun control advocates for its alarming connotations, but has no universally agreed-upon definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon https://thehill.com/homenews/3511913-what-is-an-assault-rifle-language-to-know-as-leaders-discuss-gun-legislation/mlite/ https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/21/definition-of-whats-an-assault-weapon-is-a-very-contentious-issue.html
