Tell us, just what reason is there for a common citizen to have an assault weapon? And there lies your reason to be against the definition of a assault rifle as a assault weapon.
In your search of assault weapons throughout history did you run into the story about the Romans banning assault weapons? Fascinating, I bet you can't stop reading the history of assault weapons now, can you? Hard to imagine isn't it, banning weapons even before the invention of gun powder.
Then there is the problem with the sovereign citizen people wanting local sheriffs to be the final authority and the fact that historically most sheriffs often banned the carrying of weapons in the towns they served. Quite the conundrum isn't it? Then again you probably aren't that recent in your study of assault weapon history yet.
