It's only an assault rifle if it is used in an assault. I would get some paint balls and a slingshot and hammer some government officials with some assault slingshots to prove a point. "My AR did not assault you sir, it was my assault slingshot that you forgot to ban". In laws, definitions are everything. and the gun control act of 1968 has a very technical issue. The AR platform does not meet the specifications of a firearm as defined in the law". Cnn produced a story over the weekend trumpeting this, because the next big scary problem is people are building non numbered guns by the thousands, and there is no law against it.
