You are correct-but confiscating sporting rifles that are wrongly called "assault rifles" is something all of those candidates seemed to support
under the 1968 GCA, a private citizen couldn't own a fully automatic (ie assault rifle) that was fully automatic when it entered the country unless it was an "amnesty" weapon (ie a war trophy that soldiers could register, pay the 200 dollar tax) after bringing one back illegally prior to 68/ Thus, after 68, private citizens could not own real AK 47s or Sten Guns etc-what they could own were ones that were CONVERTED by a TITLE II manufacturer to fully automatic, then REGISTERED with the ATF by the Manufacturer in the USA. In other words, private citizens have never been able to own actual assault rifles imported into the USA unless they were once ILLEGALLY brought here and then made legal due to the 1968 Amnesty program
Well, correcting me about something I did not comment on. Well done!
Also, any law on assault weapons will define what it means by the term, so your definition is totally ****ing meaningless.
