That cannot happen federally ever in your lifetime without a constitutional amendment. Or. You can work at the state level.

"Assault weapon" has never been defined. There were congressional hearings trying to find a definition. There were leaders in the law enforcement community from the directors of the fbi and batfe, the armorer of the Las Angeles police department and none could find a definition which would be unambiguous enough to enforce.....this is why the first federal assault weapons ban is no longer in effect, because it can't be defined was going to be overturned by SCOTUS if renewed.
