For better or for worse it -does- matter to legislation. My sears 22 is an assault rifle just like a brass cannon is an MLRS, lol. If we want it to stick we have to get it right and can;t make excuses for laziness or ineptitude in language or we're just crafting the next loophole.
As catholoo noted(ish), if it -can- be bogged down or obstructed by semantics it -will- be. We need to say what we mean, and..for a refreshing change...mean what we say.
I went and reviewed the DoJ regulations on assault weapons. It specifies center-fire, so my Ruger K1022T semi-auto tack driver is OK. Also, firearms purchased between some date in '01 and some date in '16 are exempt. That leaves a lot of uncovered firearms. I haven't had it out of the safe in years. When my some comes back from Japan (he's in the chair force), he's going to be stationed in Spokane. He'll pretty much empty out the safe.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
