There, now we all know the BATF's definition of "assault weapon". You all need to know this because these deadly weapons are the ones that ultimately will allow law abiding American citizens to prevent tyranny. No wonder why the liberal left insists we don't "need" them.
 
an assualt weapon is anything used correctly.
unless you are a liberal then an assualt weapon is anything, they neither have the desire to learn about, or despise!
