For you supporters of banning "assault rifles", please tell us exactly what makes a rifle an "assault rifle".  What features must it have?

Please use proper nomenclature so I can understand you.  If "Anonymous" or "?" answers, you will be ignored.

Update:

Ray S, you want to ban guns because some people enjoy making noise with them?  I hope you're not expecting intelligent people to believe criminals will turn in rifles like the one in the video because a law is passed.  They don't obey laws that have already been passed.

    The problem is that they don't really know anything about firearms.

    They should be banned, because, they can be easily modified to do this

    According to liberal logic an assault rifle is any gun with a trigger.

    That you want to ignore anonymous answers indicates you’re not the least bit interested in a real answer.  One doesn’t need a “proper nomenclature” to answer a question. 

    But I get why you’re confused.  Gun advocates’ keep changing definition of ‘assault rifles’ is meant to sow confusion.

    In the end, what we call these firearms does not really matter. What matters is the extent to which semi-automatic guns should be widely available.

    They want you to only be able to own a musket.

    Assault weapons, in my estimation, must be full auto capable without "at home" modification.

    You can't get those without a class 3 anyway..and most people don't want to buy the licensing yearly.

    I'll accept the language from the 1994 ban  https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/921

    LOL!!  Your name displays as "?" and you reject anything from "?" and you can't see the hypocrisy in that stance?

    @toothsome: are you talking about Reagan's 1986 machine gun ban?
