I think your frustration is coming from the fact that moral statements aren't like other facts not from the fact that they are.
For example, how did you come to believe and maintain the assent that WW2 occurred or that the sea is wet and blue?
Now compare how you came to believe that assault is wrong. I suspect that you had different journeys to those beliefs and hold to them for different reasons.
It seems you cannot offer me any argument or evidence for assault being objectively wrong. Whereas you could convince me of some historical fact.
