That is not the type they are talking about. In 1934 we had Tommy guns or machine guns. What the Democrats call "assault" weapons are not necessarily military grade weapons. They are now using the term "weapons of war" which is very misleading and wrong. The Dems are calling all high powered rifles "asault" weapons to scare people and to win the argument.

Yes. The NFA Act of 1934 regulated full auto, select fire, short barreled guns, and accessories requiring a $200 tax stamp which at the time was equivalent to over $13,000. However it wasn't until the Firearms Owner Protection Act of 1986 that full auto/ burst fire firearms became completely illegal if manufactured after May 19th 1986.
Edit: Oh look I hurt someone's feelings with truth, awesome.

Did you know you don't have a clue about assault weapons or their bans.
That is an undefined term that didn't exist before 1994 and then only a sensationalizing term anti gun fascists have used.
Any gun used offensively can be coined an assault gun.
1994 saw the first ban, and expired in 2004. Obama resurrected this ban,and failed, now it is up to the state.
8 states have this ban.
The 1934 ban was full automatic 'machine guns' and not banned to responsible persons qualifying for FFL.

MSNBC told them a semi auto is a " MILITARY GRADE ASSAULT WEAPON " .
Oh , and a black , composite stock is far more deadly than a wooden stock .
