I remember reading a G&A article by Massad Ayoob about a guy that opened fired with a 303 british war relic. I think the guy's name was James Cantwell. Anyhow anything can be considered an assault weapon. Suppose you stab a person with a fork. Since the fork was used to assault the person, wouldn't the fork be considered an assault weapon?
