During his campaign Joe Biden said he was going to ban "AR-14's" and "Assault Rifles" well I don't know what this ar-14 nonsense is but my ar-15 is my favorite gun.
As I live in Washington DC that already has an "assault weapons" ban, my ar-15 is currently configured in a compliant configuration.
So I was initially upset by the comments but not super worried about how it would affect me personally in the short term.
but out of curiosity I went to Bidens website to read up on his proposed ban and found this paragraph that has me a little concerned.

This confused me as none of the features typically associated with "assault weapons" have anything to do with lethality at all, and none of the previous or existing laws trying to restrict ownership of ar-15's or ar-15 style weapons (cause lets be real how many people actually own an Armalight Rifle 15 branded colt) or "assault weapons" have ever addressed anything remotely associated with the guns lethality.
If he just plans to clone the Clinton era ban or the DC or California ban's I can wait that out for 4 years by just leaving my rifle in it's dc compliant configuration which normally I only need to do when I am home in DC and not when I am out of state at my cabin.
But this language indicated he may be planning to do something more than that. Maybe?
So has anyone seen anywhere where he indicated how he plans to actually define an assault weapon?

For example, the ban on assault weapons will be designed to prevent manufacturers from circumventing the law by making minor changes that don’t limit the weapon’s lethality
