You don't even know what an "assault weapon" is.   I could go to Cabela's or Sportsman's and buy a sweet little Ruger 10-22 for about $200.   It is a blued, wood-furniture, innocuous-looking semi-auto .22 with a five round magazine.   It is a great first gun for kids.   I could go spend another couple hundred bucks on various after-market accessories for that innocuous little .22 and turn it into a really, really scary looking evil black "assault weapon."   It would still be an innocuous .22 "kid rifle," but it would scare the living Hell out of urban lefties.
