smax, why did you miss the rest of my post and only quote the part you wanted?
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.
Did you read the act or do you just like to imagine it says what you want to believe it says for drama purposes?
