The term 'assault weapons' is one created by the anti-gun lobby. There's no real definition to it. Politicians and anti-activists can make it mean whatever they decide it means. Any gun they pretty much hate, they slap that label to it.
The gun Crazy McCrazystein used wouldn't have been banned by the old '94 federal law and met the CT's own law that was based on the expired fed one. As a matter of fact, rifles, of any kind, account for about 3% of homicides. That's less than knives and blunt objects.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
