Original Note:
"Assault weapon" has no universally agreed-upon definition. The term is predominately used by gun control advocates for its alarming connotations, but does not uniquely define any category of firearms. Use of the term is therefore highly contested and politicized. 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
