A term created for the 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban," which banned firearms based on appearance, brand name, and features not related to firearm function. A proper definition of this word requires the entire 1994 act, so feel free to look it up.

History:

The term "assault weapon" has no industry or military definition. It was created to give a single name to all of the firearms politicians wanted to ban in 1994. Opponents of the 1994 ban refer to it more accurately as the "Semi-Auto" ban.

Any firewarm that is made out to look scary so that banning the civilian posession of it will appear politically correct to hypocritical sycophants who think that only governments and criminals should have guns and that fascist police states that arbitrarily massacre their own citizens are the best thing since sliced bread.
