The term "assault weapon" didn't exist until 1989, and some would argue was coined to blur the distinction between "real" military weapons (to this point known as "assault rifles") and civilian models that only LOOKED like military weapons. Military rifles with full-automatic fire (pulling & holding trigger equals continuous fire) or selective-fire (three-rounds per pull/hold) are not available to civilians. The purchase & possession of any full-auto weapon manufactured before 1986 requires approval of the US Attorney General, registration of the owner and the weapon with the BATFE, and a gauntlet of background checks that would make a colonoscopy seem easy. There is a massive tax on top of the purchase (just to make sure you mean it, I guess).

The semi-automatic (one trigger pull generates a single shot and chambers another round, which will not fire until the trigger is pulled again) mechanically operates in the EXACT same manner for both guns in the picture I posted. This design has existed since the late 1800's!

What you are being inspired to fear are *cosmetic* differences. That's it! The bottom gun looks "scary". They are mechanically IDENTICAL.
