The police officer in the video says "Terms like assault rifle are hard to define. I don't know what an assault rifle is." Before making a video, maybe he should be clear on the terms first. Example:
Assault weapon refers to firearms that had been developed from earlier fully-automatic firearms into semi-automatic civilian-legal versions.
The ban did not cover "assault rifles" but merely the new category of "assault weapons" which did not include automatic firearms of any type.
By former U.S. law the legal term assault weapon included certain specific semi-automatic firearm models by name (e.g., Colt AR-15, H&K G36E, TEC-9, all non-automatic AK-47s, and Uzis)
The act did not include ALL semi-automatic weapons. Only those defined by the "assault weapon" category specifically.
