Now everybody is confusing their terms.
Assault weapons are NOT assault rifles.
An assault rifle is a rifle capable of selectable fire, and is therefore a machine gun per federal law.
An assault weapon is a CA PC (mostly cosmetic) definition:
any firearm listed by make and model in 12276, or
(1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
(A) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
(B) A thumbhole stock.
(C) A folding or telescoping stock.
(D) A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
(E) A flash suppressor.
(F) A forward pistol grip.
or
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
or
(3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
plus similar crap for pistols...
