Which types of firearms or guns are not assault weapons and which types of guns are assault weapons?
That is a strictly a political phrase that was created, “assault weapon”, in attempt to scare people into submission to allow for tyrannical government without restraints.
Under the original intent and then current day understanding of the constitution, individuals are allow to buy fully automatic maxhine guns without a background check and without a license. As well every citizen is permitted to carry conceled guns without a license.
Name a law that can be written to force an individual who is dedicated to committing murder into following the law and not buy a gun to aid in committing murder.

That is one of the states I live in. No I am not registering my assault rifles. I did move them out of state for now as I’m not there as often as I used to be. After the summer of love. I am not giving up my right to self defense. I watched people being beat in the streets and the buildings burned. The democrats have made it clear they are not against violence.

I notice you have mentioned the summer of love several times in your posts. I am curious about your experience, would you mind telling us a little bit about where and when you witnessed violence, and give a few details about how this pushed you to take self defence more seriously?
As for the law, I don’t really see how a gun registry practically helps or protects anyone. It seems to me the budget for a gun registry office would be better spent on mental health and social support networks that can identify and help people before they become so hopless they start mass murdering people.

Sure. Watched a man dragged out of his car and almost beat to death testing to get into our condo building in Chicago.
I watched building burning from my deck.
I watched mobs destroy the train station, loop and west loop.

“One in three Republicans believe that “true American patriots” may have to resort to violence to save the country, compared with 22% of independents and 13% of Democrats – all representing increases since 2021. Almost one in three white evangelical Protestants believe that patriots may have to resort to political violence to save the country, markedly higher than any other religious group.
Support for political violence jumps to even higher levels among Americans who believe that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump (46%); Americans who hold a favourable view of Trump (41%); Americans who believe in the so-called “replacement theory” (41%); Americans who affirm the core tenet of white Christian nationalism, that God intended America to be a new promised land for European Christians (39%).”

Save the country. That’s the difference. The democrats just love violence as much as they loved owning people.
