Unfortunately, in the US, the legal definition, in the context of gun control laws, of an "Assault Rifle" is very different from the actual definition of an Assault Rifle.

An assault rifle sounds so much more scary than the more accurate "semi-automatic commercially available, civilian model rifle made to resemble in appearance an assault rifle, but is incapable of operating as an actual assault rifle"

You just can't scare the house fraus with that.
