Original Note:
A so-called "assault weapon" is NOT a machine gun or automatic firearm. Automatic firearms were severely restricted from civilian ownership under the 1934 National Firearms Act. A so-called "assault weapon" is functionally no different than any other "legal" firearm. https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/112672/documents/HHRG-117-JU08-20210520-SD017.pdf
