Lets remember, assault rifles aren't generally available to the public. A semi automatic rifle is not the same as an assault rifle.

This is a silly statement. Most people, myself included, call them assault weapons because thats what they look like and are perceived as. I have an M&P 15-22 and I consider it an assault weapon. I know it doesn't technically fit the definition but its perception is it is indeed an assault weapon. Perception is reality. We all know what he is talking about. It's the same as the clip vs magazine argument. We all know handguns use magazines, but we also know exactly what they are talking about when they say clip.
