"Assault Rifle," v. Sporting Rifle

I suspect many gun control advocates out there are confused about what is an "assault rifle." In the military sense, an assault rifle is capable of fully-automatic firing (They usally have a selector switch which allows the shooter to select semi- or full- automatic fire).  Many probably incorrectly assume that new federal laws are necessary to get rid of fully automatic rifles.  The situation is further confused by sloppy use of the term "Assault rifle," in statutes and propose legislation.  This video sorts things out.  Thanks to Dale Christopherson for the link.
