	Assault Weapons
		Assault weapons are not the weapons of choice among drug dealers, gang members or criminals in general.
		However, current "assault weapon" legislation defines certain semi-automatic weapons as "assault weapons." A semi-automatic weapon is one that fires a round with each pull of the trigger, versus an automatic weapon which continues to shoot until the trigger is released or the ammunition supply is exhausted.
		In 1990, "assault weapons" comprised thirty-six of the 963 firearms involved in homicide or aggravated assault and analyzed by police crime laboratories, according to a report prepared by the California Department of Justice, and based on data from police firearms laboratories throughout the state.

	Assault weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although there is no precise definition of the term, an assault weapon is generally defined as a semi-automatic firearm that is similar in name, appearance, or design to a fully automatic firearm or military weapon.
		Since most.50 BMG rifles lack the characteristics that are commonly used to define assault weapons, and do not differ significantly in their rate of fire or ballistics from many other large caliber rifles, some interpret this as simply a politically-expedient means of banning a type of firearm not previously included in any assault weapon legislation.
		Many who oppose weapons of all kinds, but especially assault weapons, contend that there is no need in modern society for weapons, and that weapons only serve to escalate hostile situations, such as in hostage-taking or spree killings.

	The information resource for the expiration of the 1994 semiauto ban!
		An assault rifle has a mechanism that allows for fully automatic firing, so that as long as the trigger is squeezed, cartridges will continue to be fired in rapid succession until the supply of ammunition is exhausted.
		And though the label "assault weapons" is relatively new, this type of firearm is not.
		The term ''rifle'' means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of an explosive to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.

	Who's Under Assault in the Assault Weapon Ban?
		The "weapon of choice" justification of the ban is illegitimate, because it is unjust for the law to deprive the innocent of their liberty because of the behavior of the guilty.
		Whatever sinister capabilities assault weapons have as compared to other firearms, whatever dark purpose spawned their creation, neither Congress, gun-control proponents nor the public claim that their ownership or use should be denied to the police or federal law enforcement agencies.
		The common criticism that assault weapons have "no legitimate sporting purpose" thus expresses perfectly the view, now shared by more than two-thirds of our countrymen, that the American people are not fit for, or to be trusted or burdened with, such weighty concerns or responsibilities as defense of home, community or country.

		The US Army was evaluating options for upgrading its urban assault weapon capabilities for fire from enclosure and improved performance over the next few years, and SRAW-MPV, in its current configuration, will meet most of these upgrade requirements.

	Keep and Bear Arms - Gun Owners Home Page - 2nd Amendment Supporters
		It should be no great surprise that when society requires large numbers of young men to learn to use (and consequently come to respect) modern firearms in defending the interests of their country, they often want to own something similar to what they used in the military.
		However, since the possession of automatic weapons has been strictly regulated and taxed by the federal government for decades, and outright banned by some states such as California, the firearms industry has reacted in a good capitalistic way by providing firearms that appear similar to the true assault rifles and pistols used by the military.
		In fact, a study done by the California Department of Justice was suppressed until after the passage of the original assault weapons law because it did not support the extravagant claims made by those pushing for the law.
