"Assault Weapon" - This never had a deterministic meaning. Having a precise vocabulary and terminology ought to be important in all legal matters. Marketing, both favoring gun sales and advocating gun restrictions, have misused the term to point of it having no meaning at all.

"Assault Rifle" - This has originally, back to WWII at least, a well defined meaning which has been widely accepted by governments and industry.

Aside from the futile attempts to manufacture terms, how do you feel about restrictions in general but specifically about long guns?
I'm mostly thinking rifles here but feel free to say something about shotguns.
