Forgive me for my ignorance.
I was wondering about all this talk about the assault weapons ban from presidential candidates. On this website http://www.issues2000.org/Gun_Control.htm, some said that they support the assault weapons ban. Forgive my ignorance, but what would be included in that? "Assault Weapons" sounds quite subjective, because you could argue that anything has no defensive value and is only assault and military like, while at the same time arguing that everything is more defensive than assault. One example that I was wondering about, my Springfield Armory handgun case says "Not Legal in California" because the magazine has more than 10 rounds in it. Would that be considered an assault weapon in the assault weapons ban? Does it only mean semi-automatic assault rifles (such as AK 47's), or a step up like battle rifles? What's included? What's not? This might be valuable information to know when I vote.
Thanks
